Sean “Diddy” Combs joked about inviting Prince William and Prince Harry to one of his parties years before the recent allegations about him came to light.
The rapper and record label boss was arrested by federal agents this week after number of civil lawsuits accused him of sex trafficking, sexual abuse and rape.
It is alleged victims at Diddy’s Freak Off parties were drugged and forced to have sex. In some cases, attendees claim they were left with such severe injuries that they needed weeks to recover.
Lawyers acting for Combs, variously known as Sean ‘Love’ Combs, Puff Daddy and P. Diddy, insist that he is “an innocent man with nothing to hide”.

Amid the case, a 2011 interview on the Graham Norton show has come to light. In it, Diddy suggested he had invited Prince Harry and Prince William to one of his parties in their younger days.
Graham asked: “I read that you want to get Prince William and Prince Harry to the Diddy party.”
Diddy replied: “Not anymore, they’re off the list. But before, when they were young bucks they were getting up to trouble themselves. So I was like, ‘hey, why don’t you come out and hang with me’.”

There is no evidence the royal brothers ever attended. Harry was named in one of the lawsuits against Diddy, but is not accused of any wrongdoing.
Producer Mr Jones states in the document, which was first filed in February, that people were drawn to the rapper because of his access to high-profile figures such as Harry.
According to Page Six, the Duke of Sussex and his brother William both met Diddy in 2007.
They had hosted a party to thank everyone who took part in the ‘Concert for Diana’ benefit at Wembley Stadium.
At the concert, Diddy performed his 1997 hit “I’ll Be Missing You” which had originally been intended as a eulogy to the Notorious B.I.G.
At the backstage party after the show, Prince William was pictured shaking hands with the rapper, and Prince Harry was snapped embracing Diddy and rival rapper Kanye West.
