A Jimmy Kimmel Live! clip has resurfaced on the internet following the arrest of Sean “Diddy” Combs for sex trafficking and racketeering charges.
The interview sees the Bad Boy Records founder in a conversation with Jimmy Kimmel less than a year ago.
On the popular TV show Jimmy Kimmel Live! Diddy was seemingly put on the spot when Kimmel asked P.Diddy: “I saw a guy on the internet the other day. He said he used to be your security guard.
"He said that when you were dating J.Lo, Will Smith and Jada tried to pick her up on a threesome and you were gonna beat up Will Smith. Is that true?"

Pausing before proceeding to answer, Diddy replied: “Well this show has gotten crazier since the last time I was here."
Upon further probing, eventually, the now 54-year-old denied the claim by responding: “No! No, you really heard that?"
Jennifer Lopez and Diddy were in a romantic relationship from 1999 to 2001. But the two also collaborated musically on a 2000 remix of Feelin So Good.
The Jimmy Kimmel interview has been circulating on the internet since Diddy’s arrest on Monday, Sept 16. The list of charges the music mogul has been arrested for includes racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking by force, fraud, or coercion, and transportation to engage in prostitution. Diddy has refuted these charges, along with his attorney Marc Agnifilo, who also claims that his client is innocent.
Outside the New York courthouse, Agnifilo said: "Mr Combs is a fighter, he's going to fight this to the end. He's innocent. He came to New York to establish his innocence. He's not afraid, he's not afraid of the charges.
"There's nothing that the government said in their presentation today that changes anyone's mind about anything. He's been looking forward to this day. He's been looking forward to clearing his name and he's going to clear his name and we're going to stand by his side as he does."
Amid a divorce from Ben Affleck, J.Lo is yet to comment publicly regarding the Diddy allegations. Speaking on her relationship with the rapper in a 2003 Vibe Magazine interview, per Newsweek the star said: “It was the first time I was with someone who wasn't faithful”. She continued: “I was in this relationship with Puff where I was totally crying, crazy, and going nuts, it really took my whole life in a tailspin."
UNILAD has gone to reps for JLo, Will Smith for comment.
