Diddy Names His #1 Party Guest And Hollywood Superstar Is Running Scared
On September 18, Sean “Diddy” Combs was arrested and held without bail after he was charged with sex trafficking, racketeering conspiracy, and transportation to engage in prostitution. Since then, the entertainment industry’s most powerful and recognizable stars have been in panic mode, scrambling to distance themselves from the disgraced music mogul and the slew of horrific allegations that are now surfacing. Among the stars in damage control from the Diddy scandal is Hollywood heavyweight Leonardo DiCaprio, who is currently attempting to stay far away after being named as the Bad Boys Records producer’s number one person on his white party invitation list.
In an undated video that is now making its way across social media, Diddy can be seen being interviewed by an unseen person who is asking which person would be at the very top of the music mogul’s invitation list for an upcoming party. Not wasting even a second to think it over, Diddy names Leonardo DiCaprio as his number one person on that invitation list without offering any explanation or specific reasons as to why.
Unfortunately for Leonardo DiCaprio, pictures of him and Diddy at the infamous “white parties” date back as far as 1998, shortly after the actor became a certified Hollywood star following the release of Titanic.
While the video is quick and doesn’t implicate the Academy Award-winning actor in any of the crimes that Diddy has been charged with, many are looking to The Wolf of Wall Street star to issue a statement regarding his lack of knowledge of any wrongdoing that is alleged to have taken place at the rapper’s infamous parties.
Instead, it appears that Leonardo DiCaprio has chosen to simply stay away from Diddy and any of the criminal allegations surrounding him. According to RadarOnline.com, an insider close to the situation reveals that the Hollywood star would prefer to “get as far away from this scandal as possible” and remain hidden from the public scrutiny that many celebrities are now facing, thanks to their direct ties to Diddy and his parties.
Those close to Leonardo DiCaprio have recently claimed that he has “not been in contact” with Diddy for years, staying away from the party scene while he focuses on his career.

According to the insider, Leonardo DiCaprio understands the enormous PR hit that celebrities are taking by being associated with Diddy. “He knows being linked to Diddy and being pictured at his ‘White Parties’ is a PR disaster for his image, and like all the other celebrities linked to these parties, he is truly running scared from any link between him and Diddy,” the insider said.
Leonardo DiCaprio reportedly wishes to completely shed his former image of a wild party boy and instead be known for his acting abilities and his work on improving the environment.

Those close to Leonardo DiCaprio have recently claimed that he has “not been in contact” with Diddy for years, staying away from the party scene while he focuses on his career. However, Leonardo DiCaprio can be seen partying with Diddy as recently as November 2019, celebrating the music mogul’s 50th birthday at a Beverly Hills mansion. The guest list for the upscale birthday bash included a “who’s who” of superstars in the entertainment industry, including Jay-Z, Beyonce, Kate Beckinsale, and Post Malone.
Following Diddy’s arrest, more information regarding his alleged criminal behavior has made its way to the forefront, offering a very grim picture of the massive scale of his charges. Similar to Leonardo DiCaprio, other celebrities with close ties to Diddy have been forced to attempt to clear names in the court of public opinion, including Usher, Justin Bieber, and Jennifer Lopez. Despite the rumors, there has yet to be any official connection to Diddy’s alleged crimes and any other celebrity.

Where did Wordle come from?
Originally created by engineer Josh Wardle as a gift for his partner, Wordle rapidly spread to become an international phenomenon, with thousands of people around the globe playing every day. Alternate Wordle versions created by fans also sprang up, including battle royale Squabble, music identification game Heardle, and variations like Dordle and Quordle that make you guess multiple words at once.
Wordle eventually became so popular that it was purchased by the New York Times, and TikTok creators even livestream themselves playing.
