Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs Named the ‘No. 1 Person’ on His White Party Invite List
Hip-hop mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs pleads not guilty to the charges against him, which include sex trafficking and transportation to engage in prostitution. Combs was arrested in September 2024 following Homeland Security’s raids on two of his properties. Now, old videos shed light on who he kept in his company. Here’s what Combs once admitted regarding the “No. 1 person” he invited to his infamous White Parties.
Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs said Leonardo DiCaprio was his ‘No. 1’ invite to his White Parties
Sean “Diddy” Combs threw incredible parties from 1998 to 2009 that included A-listers, royals, and politicians. He held the White Parties in the Hamptons in New York and Beverly Hills and required all attendees to follow the white dress code. While the daytime partying seemed innocent, the after-hours activities garnered media attention. Combs allegedly had recorded sex acts called “freak-offs” in the early morning hours.
In 2018, Combs answered questions with Vogue as the publication toured his home. Combs mentioned how the White Parties were returning that year “for charity.”
“Who’s the person that’s No. 1 on that invitation list?” Vogue asked.
“Leonardo DiCaprio,” Combs said.
A photo from DailyMail.com shows DiCaprio spending time at Combs’ White Party in 1998. However, a source close to the actor told the publication that he never attended a “freak-off” and hadn’t stayed in touch with Combs through the years.
“Leonardo DiCaprio has absolutely nothing to do with any of this,” the source alleged. “He attended a few of his parties back in the early 2000s — but literally everyone did. They were not freak-offs. They were big house parties. Leo was at the start of his career at the time and has moved way past his partying. He has nothing to do with any of that world, so for anyone to assume that he will get roped into this based on a few grainy photos that are more than 20 years old is ridiculous.”
Will DiCaprio appear in Combs’ trial? We’ll have to wait and see. The trial begins on May 5, 2025.
