Awkward Moment Between Diddy and Usher Caught on ‘Martha & Snoop’s Potluck Dinner Party’
Hip-hop mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs heads to trial in May 2025 as he pleads not guilty to charges of racketeering, sex trafficking, and transportation to engage in prostitution. Now, we’re looking back at old clips of Combs with those in his inner circle. He and Usher once went on Martha & Snoop’s Potluck Dinner Party, and fans noticed a few uncomfortable interactions between them. Here’s what fans noted.
Fans noticed an awkward interaction between Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs and Usher on ‘Martha & Snoop’s Potluck Dinner Party’
Martha & Snoop’s Potluck Dinner Party brought celebrities from all walks of life to the table. Martha Stewart and Snoop Dogg co-hosted the weekly series, which showed them discussing their favorite meals, eating with celebrities, and sharing personal stories. One series episode featured disgraced hip-hop mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs, who was arrested in September 2024 following the Homeland Security raids on his properties in March 2024. Usher, Combs’ protege, is also in the episode.
The episode shows Combs and Usher eating on opposite ends of the table with Snoop Dogg and Martha Stewart sitting between them. “Usher, how’ve you been, man?” Combs asks Usher while they’re enjoying a spicy meal. “I haven’t seen you in so long.”
Usher, clearly inebriated, replies, “How much did we drink?” He then notes that he’s “trying to say something,” but struggling due to how much he drank.”
“Well, we drank a little bit, and you drank a lot,” Snoop says. Martha then chimes in and recounts how Usher drank a beer, several shots, and another alcoholic beverage.
“Your forehead is sweating like Uncle Leroy,” Combs jokes.
“It’s hot as hell!” Usher says of the food.
“It ain’t that hot,” Combs adds.
Fans in the clip’s comments found Combs and Usher’s initial reactions awkward.
“The way Diddy is looking at Usher is unsettling …” one fan wrote.
“The way Diddy was looking at Usher, head tilt, eyes up … d***, that’s crazy-ish,” another fan wrote.
“He drank because he knew he was gonna see diddy fr!” yet another fan wrote.
Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs had a telling response to one of the question prompts on the show
Sean “Diddy” Combs, Martha Stewart, Snoop Dogg, and Usher played a game while eating together on Martha & Snoop’s Potluck Dinner Party. They each chose a card and answered the question from the prompt.
“Diddy, that’s all you, nephew,” Snoop says as he hands Combs a card. “Take that top card.”
Combs then reads the prompt on the card. “When I die, I want my last words to be …,” Combs reads from the card. He then answers, “I did it.” Combs then throws the card in the air triumphantly as the table claps for him. However, Usher doesn’t appear to clap for Combs. He continues to slouch over his food and seemingly ignores the mogul’s answer.
“Usher was not entertained one bit!” another fan commented on an Instagram clip of Combs’ answer.
“Usher didn’t find it funny,” another fan wrote.
Usher once said he saw ‘very curious things’ while living with Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs
Before Usher made it big, he learned about the music world from Sean “Diddy” Combs. Usher lived with Combs when he was just 13. While speaking to Howard Stern, he explained how he saw “very curious things” while living with Combs for a year in New York City.
“In the ’90s, do you understand what that’s like?” Usher explained. “It was curious. I got a chance to see some things. I went there to see the lifestyle. And I saw it.”
“It was pretty wild,” he continued. “It was crazy. … There were very curious things taking place, and I didn’t necessarily understand it.”
When asked if Usher would allow his children to experience what he saw at a young age, he replied, “Hell no.”
