After LeBron James Was Called Out By UFC Fighter For Past 'Diddy Party' Comment, A Former Cavs Player Weighed In On The Stars' Alleged Link


Sean "P. Diddy" Combs' arrest and the subsequent stream of lawsuits and federal charges he's facing remain much discussed. As his legal woes play out, a number of celebrities have opted not to discuss Diddy. However, some A-listers are still being linked to him by the general public. LeBron James is now the latest, as a UFC fighter recently called him out for a past "Diddy party" comment he made. Now, a former Cleveland Cavaliers player is weighing in on the supposed link between Combs and James as well.

Four years ago, LeBron James participated in a livestream that involved P. Diddy. The recently resurfaced video, which was captured by DailyMail.com, saw the four-time NBA MVP hyping up the "Can't Nobody Hold Me Down" artist. A portion of the stream showed James specifically saying, "Hey, everybody know ain't no party like a Diddy party." Since this clip has been making the rounds again, fans across social media have seemingly been pondering James and Combs' past interactions.

Just recently 36-year-old Colby Covington came to blows with Joaquin Buckley in the ring, and the latter came out on top. Ahead of that though, Covington participated in a press conference, which was shared to X by Championship Rounds. During the chat, the fighter shared some brutally honest thoughts about the NBA player long known as "King James." The veteran mixed martial artist didn't hold back while weighing in on James' Diddy comment:

I'm gonna start this off, you know, since I'm the man of the hour, man of the show. I want to ask LeBron what does he mean by, 'There's no party like a Diddy party.' I truly want to know. And not only that, LeBron, how many Diddy parties have you actually been to? I'm really curious to know. And is that the reason you left social media because all the backlash you were getting for going to so many Diddy parties? It's pathetic, man. People think this guy's a role model. He wants to defund the police, the most patriotic people in America, serving and protecting our country. LeBron, you're a fucking scumbag, and I hope you get locked up in the same cell with Diddy.

Colby Covington's mention of the 39-year-old NBA icon leaving social media is seemingly a reference to a post shared by the Los Angeles Laker in November. At that time, the 20-time All-Star said he was "getting off social media for the time being" and told his fans to "take care." The Shooting Stars producer has since returned to X and other social platforms, though his recent posts have steered clear of any mention of Sean Combs. Meanwhile, one fellow Cavs alum shared some thoughts.

NBA journeyman Brandon Goodwin took to X to share brief comments amid the discussion surrounding Sean Combs and LeBron James. Goodwin initially posted a brief message that read, "Lebron? Diddy?" Under that post, a fan opined that any connection between the two stars would make for "one of the craziest sports stories of all time," with Goodwin responding, "the craziest."

P. Diddy was arrested months after his homes were raided by the feds in connection to an investigation involving sex trafficking. At the time, 1,000 bottles of lubricant were recovered alongside documents and electronic devices. Diddy has been charged with alleged sex trafficking and transportation to engage in prostitution, racketeering, arson and more. His aforementioned parties – some of which a re known as "freak offs" – have also been widely discussed. At the events, women were reportedly weighed and then hired or coerced into performing sex acts that were recorded.

At this time, Sean Combs' sex-trafficking trial is set to begin on May 5, 2025. LeBron James, meanwhile, is continuing to play through the NBA season after missing two games due to reported personal reasons. Whether he'll choose to respond to comments from Colby Covington and more remains to be seen.

NBA Rumors: LeBron James' Son Bronny Is on Draft Boards of 'Multiple Teams'

Chris Coduto/Getty Images Bronny James' USC team has struggled this season, but that reportedly hasn't stopped the NBA interest in the son of legend LeBron James. "When I talk to people around the league, he's on the draft boards of multiple teams," Shams Charania of The Athletic and Stadium reported Thursday: Charania noted teams around the league believe he is "further along" on the defensive side of the ball than the offensive side, which makes performances like Wednesday's all the more important. The USC freshman finished with 11 points, six assists and five rebounds while shooting 5-of-11 from the field in one of his best offensive showings of the season in a loss to Arizona. The only game that he scored more points in was a Dec. 30 loss to Oregon State when he finished with 15 on 6-of-11 shooting from the field. Perhaps most importantly, James played a season-high 30 minutes against the Wildcats on Wedn...

What Happened to the Rivalry Between LeBron James and Carmelo Anthony? - Bleacher Report

They were two young stars with unique and special abilities on the basketball court. They had recently played in a high-attention scholastic contest against each other. They were both selected in the same draft. The LeBron James and Carmelo Anthony rivalry was supposed to be the best individual rivalry since Magic and Bird. But while the relationship between Bird and Johnson is dramatized in a new Broadway play , Anthony and James will meet for the 15th time in their careers and do so without much fanfare.

Much like how Johnson raved about Bird after they played together on a college All-Star team playing in an international tournament, James couldn’t stop talking about Anthony. The two squared off in a high school showcase game the following year that pitted the player regarded as the best senior in the country (Anthony) against the one that was the best junior in the country (James), a game Anthony’s team wo...

"So You Think You Can Dance" season 18 ended the first stage of the competition on Monday night, March 18, with the last dance hopefuls looking for a spot in the choreography round. So far the bar has been set pretty high by standout performances from dancers representing a variety of dance styles, shapes, sizes and ability levels. So who stood out among the last crop of contestants? Did the show save the best for last? "We've put 25 people through," said judge Allison Holker at the start of the show. She singled out contemporary dancer Braylon Browner and gymnast Dakayla Wilson as standouts from the first two days of auditions. Comfort Fedoke agreed that Wilson is capable of anything a professional choreographer could throw at her. Maksim Chmerkovskiy was especially impressed by contemporary dancer Easton Magliarditi . But "there's so many other things outside of dance that we're also looking at." More from GoldDerby SEE ...
