Nikki Glaser receives backlash after controversial Diddy joke at the Golden Globes

Not everybody appreciated the jokes about the disgraced rapper

Golden Globes hosts are famous for roasting the audience.

Ricky Gervais was arguably one of the most ruthless awards hosts, and reprised his hosting duties on numerous occasions.

Comedian Jo Koy hosted last year's Golden Globes though, and this year Nikki Glaser has stepped up to the role.

The 40-year-old is the first woman to host the ceremony solo.

She took aim at a handful of celebrities during the show, Benny Blanco and Selena Gomez included.

But it's a joke she made about Sean 'Diddy' Combs this evening that raised some eyebrows.

While addressing Zendaya, who has sparked engagement speculation this evening, Glaser said: "Challengers girl, oh my god, it was so good. I mean, that movie was more sexually charged than Diddy’s credit card.

"I mean, seriously? Oh, no, no, I know, I’m sorry. I’m upset too. The afterparty is not going to be as good this year, but we have to move on. I know 'Stanley Tucci Freak Off' just doesn’t have the same ring to it."

People took to Twitter to share their opinions on whether they found the Diddy quip amusing or not.

"We really don’t need jokes about him," someone said of the disgraced rapper.

A second wrote: "No Diddy jokes please... Come on..."

"Ugh, you can’t make it past any award show without the host making a distasteful joke," added another Golden Globes viewer.

Others labeled Diddy-related jokes as 'tired'.

The 'I Need A Girl' rapper is facing numerous charges ranging from rape to racketeering.
