Sean “Diddy” Combs’s arrest in September 2024 has led the public to scrutinize his celebrity friends, but Rihanna is eager to distance herself from the situation.
RiRi recently dismissed any rumors linking her to Diddy’s parties—especially his rumored “freak off” parties—in the only way we, as her stans, would expect.
Rihanna laughed off a paparazzi question about her being at Diddy’s freak off parties.
On October 2, 2024, the X (formerly Twitter) account Akademiks TV shared a video of Rihanna leaving a venue while being approached by paparazzi who were asking about her relationship with Diddy.
In the clip, a reporter questions the Fenty queen about whether she has ever attended one of the disgraced Bad Boy CEO’s parties.
When Rihanna hesitates to respond, they directly ask her, “Were you involved in any of the freak offs?” This question prompted a hilarious reaction from the singer, who seemed to find the inquiry quite absurd.
“That’s crazy,” Rihanna simply replies before cackling into her car.
The brief interaction quickly spread online, attracting numerous comments from fans, some of whom doubted her honesty about attending the freak offs.
“We better not catch you on any of those tapes after this,” one user commented.
“You mean Jay-Z freak offs?” another chimed in.
Diddy was arrested on September 16, 2024, facing charges of federal sex trafficking and racketeering.
Prior to his arrest, he and Rihanna were friends, at least close enough for him to talk about her past relationship with Chris Brown.
In May 2024, a clip resurfaced of Diddy discussing Rihanna and Chris’s 2009 domestic abuse case on The Ellen DeGeneres Show.
In the clip, the mogul offered a cryptic defense of the controversy.
He told Ellen that both Chris and Rihanna were at fault and emphasized that the public is unaware of what truly happens between celebrity couples behind closed doors.
“We know sometimes those relationships get ugly,” he acknowledged.
