Yesterday, all of Usher’s tweets quietly disappeared. Naturally, an amateur social media detective noticed and speculation began to run wild. Usher claims that he was hacked, but people aren’t buying it.



So, if he wasn’t actually hacked, why would Usher suddenly erase his presence on Twitter (I’m not calling it X)? It could be connected to his long-standing and well-documented friendship with Sean “Diddy” Combs, who was arrested last week and is facing charges of racketeering and sex trafficking.

Usher looks like he is trying to cover his tracks, but he certainly isn’t the only one who was good pals with the controversial (to put it lightly) media mogul. I’ve already covered the people who Diddy has ALLEGEDLY gotten killed (or at least tried), but now, it’s time to look at the folks whose demise may be caused by their friendship with Diddy.


Now, to be clear, none of these people are currently facing any legal troubles. But they could be among those celebrities who have confirmed ties to Diddy that they might now be regretting.


Usher


We’ll start here. These days, Usher might be trying to distance himself from Diddy, but in an interview with Howard Stern in 2016, he spoke extensively about their decades-long friendship. Usher revealed that he started living with Diddy when he was a teen and revealed the “place was filled with chicks and orgying nonstop.”


“I got a chance to see some things,” Usher recalled. “I don’t know if I could indulge and even understand what I was looking at.”


This may be a case of Usher’s own words being used against him, given the rumors of what goes on at Diddy’s parties.



Ashton Kutcher


According to Kutcher, he and Diddy “became fast friends” back in 2003 when Punk’d had inexplicably taken over the world. The two have remained close over the years, and fans pointed out Kutcher even referencing Diddy’s infamous parties in his 2019 episode of Hot Ones.


“I’ve got a lot I can’t tell so, um, I can’t tell that one either. I mean, I’m actually cycling through them — Diddy party stories, man. That was like some weird memory lane,” he said on the episode.



What Kutcher did or didn’t know is completely unknown at this point, but it’s worth noting that he’s compiling quite a list of friends who turn out to be sex criminals. First, his That ‘70s Show co-star Danny Masterson gets sentenced to life in prison for sexually assaulting multiple women (despite Kutcher insisting his buddy is actually a really solid dude). And now, his friendship with Diddy is looking questionable as well.


Nick Cannon


While most people on this list have stayed silent since Diddy’s legal troubles began, Cannon has addressed their friendship in a February episode of his YouTube series Counsel Culture. Cannon spoke about his conflicted feelings regarding Diddy and his relationship with his ex-girlfriend Cassie.


“I know these people,” Cannon explained. “They’re not just public figures to me, so I have to almost do this dance when it comes up, because just as much as I know Diddy, I know Cassie.”




On the surface, this may sound like a nuanced and measured perspective, but remember, this was after Cassie had filed a civil suit against Diddy where she accused him of sex trafficking, physical abuse and rape (the suit was settled out of court). Not exactly a situation where you need to see both sides of things.


DJ Khaled


Another one of those people who owes a lot of their career success to Diddy is DJ Khaled, as his baffling rise in the music industry was in large part thanks to Diddy. The two have remained friends since, with Khaled even wishing his buddy a happy birthday on Instagram last year (I have a feeling he may keep the birthday wishes offline this year).





Once again, there’s no current evidence that Khaled is connected to Diddy’s ALLEGED criminal misdeeds, but he has definitely been to some of his parties and goes out of his way to shout out their friendship, including that time he almost died jetskiing to Diddy’s house.


Congratulations, DJ Khaled, you played yourself.




The Kardashians

America’s royal family apparently loves partying with Diddy almost as much as they love manufacturing drama for the camera. Over the years, the sisters have repeatedly bragged about going to Diddy’s parties, including Khloe telling her sister Kourtney about a party she went to hosted by Diddy where “half the people there were butt naked.”


Yet another quote that feels a lot less fun with what we know now.
