When Diddy's arrest hit the headlines last September, Cat Williams saw an opportunity. He went to Instagram stories, reshared an AI mashup of Puffy's mugsh shot on Wesley Snipes in New Jack City, and captioned it, "Diddy about to snitch on everybody. " That joke exploded online.
Fans everywhere were saying the same thing. [music] If anyone's going to flip to save himself, it's going to be Diddy. But Cat didn't stop at a one-off punchline.
[music] Remember Cat's old podcasts where he casually dropped names like Tyler Perry, Ricky Smiley, Steve Harvey, and Ludicrous? At the time, it sounded like petty personal attacks. But some of those exact names, Jay-Z, Aaron Hall, Harve Pierre, and more appear in the actual court documents against Diddy.
Cat wasn't just joking around. He was planting clues. And now we're about to connect the dots between stand-up comedy and a federal scandal.
Club Shay Shay. Yeah, I um I I was trying to do something there that hadn't been done. I was trying to I thought that I had figured out the algorithm uh mathematically and I thought that I could show that and um when I wrote it out, I wrote it out to [clears throat] kill the careers of the people I was talking about, right?
But it was so vicious that I erased all of the knockout blows and just left the jabs so that the comic I'm talking about knows that I know your real story, mother. I'mma tell this, but you know what else I know. So, uh um yeah, I was Do you want to tell any of those stories now?
just as well I'm saying just to protect my integrity and all of these uh big deviants is all catch So Cat Williams said it. The lawsuit started coming out right after he said it and he said all would be exposed. He heavenly implied and this is again an allegation that Lucy and Graange was having some sort of a homosexual relationship with Diddy.
So he is the person that controls Diddy that Lucy and Graange was aware of these parties that Universal Music Group was aware of these parties essentially [snorts] that Diddy is the thug and the gangster working on behalf of Lucy and Graange. They did not know that he was reporting them. I mean when I read through that lawsuit uh Rodney made it very clear that he had hidden cameras.
And if you are a person like LeBron who says ain't no party like a Diddy party. You got Ashton Kutcher talking about what happens at Diddy party stays at Diddy parties and s finally you learn via the press that actually uh Diddy has been collecting evidence on all of you and you don't know where those tapes [music] are. That will buy your silence for quite some time because you're hoping that if you keep your head low, you're not going to be revealed as one of these people that was engaged in some of these acts.
Whether they were heterosexual or homosexual, it doesn't matter. Maybe you're just cheating on your wife and you don't want that to get out into the public. Maybe you were, as Cat Williams described it, in one of the rooms.
He said you could just walk around the house. He said this on stage years ago that you could walk around the house and you would see people engaged in [music] various sex acts. And again, Cat Williams was someone who was dismissed as crazy and dismissed as a drug addict.
And it turned out that or it seems that if these allegations are proven to be true, and I believe they are, um, then he was telling the truth. Do you think that like stars and get offered that kind of thing like to compromise themselves sexually for [music] entertainment? Um, I was as shocked as anybody about how powerful Harvey Weinstein was at the time that I was meeting with him and how [music] he could not be told no.
You follow what I'm saying? They'll figure out some way, right? So, I thought that didn't apply to me cuz I don't care about nothing but [ __ ] in good business, right?
In these scary situations, I don't even leave it up to me. Like, I'm going to do [music] what the superhero would do in this part of the movie regardless. That's a good way to think about things in general.
Yeah. What would the superhero do right now? Cat started with Tyler Perry.
On the surface, it looks like a comedian throwing shade when Cat jokes that Perry can't play a man to save his life. But behind the laugh is a fact few people know. When Perry was working on his first indie scripts, it was Diddy's team who stepped in.
They helped fund his debut movies, arranged premieres in LA and New York, and handed out VIP invites to stars hungry for a preview. Those early boosts aren't in tabloids, but they show up in the fine [music] print. Diary of a Mad Black Woman.
Medadia's family reunion. Perry might not admit it, but his [music] launchpad ran through Bad Boy's Playbook. I heard that you bought a military base in Alabama.
Is that [music] true? A military base, as starving comedians would do. Now, I don't know if you're being truthful or not.
Did you really [music] buy one? Yeah, Fort Mlen. Yeah, I um What?
Because the thing that the reason why like my life works in golf and off the golf course is because I follow instruction well. Right. Mhm.
So if I see somebody do a good job, I just want to do a good job. Yeah. I'm going to follow the example.
Yeah. Right. So Tyler Perry got a military base.
That's correct. Made it into a movie studio and start making movies. Cat Williams.
[applause] bought a military base. Are you making movies? [applause] I'm not wearing dresses.
[laughter] Yeah, making movies. You're missing the point. At what point in Tyler Perry's career was he Samuel Jackson or Denzel Washington, which are the only two black men I can think of that never had a dress on?
Yeah, but I don't think it's about that. At one point it it is about that. It is about that because he's the only black man that we already established has a billion dollars for making movies.
He's the only black man with his own studio, but he's also putting out material where he got a goddamn dress on every year because um every time you turn around, at every iteration of his success, be it the plays that took over and got him popular, be it the [ __ ] that he did on TBS, be it the first movies that he did, be it the movies that he does now. So why what is his excuse for doing media content now? Because there's an audience for it.
There's an audience for it. There is a there's an audience for it. There's Tyler Perry told his male actors they're not allowed to consort with me because I saw you at a diddy party, Tyler.
And you were having a glorious time. I spent a lot of time in Miami and I snuck around Star Island quite a bit. I know Christian isn't lying, but I need him to tell me what happened to my friends.
And I don't care how long it's been since I talked to them. They will always be my friends. Always.
Tim and Durant and Lamont Rucker were not the same after they went on camera with Tyler Perry and Christian. I I think you can tell me why. Who else?
Ricky Smiley, who learned the ins and outs of the industry at Diddy's private Atlanta parties. Those weren't open parties. They were invite only nights.
Puffy's crew controlled the guest list and handed out the guest passes. Ricky got on that list. From there, heworked and talked his way into radio gigs and a hit TV show.
Cat said that Smiley only shines in a dress, but the joke cuts deeper. It hints at how Ricky's rise to stardom happened through Big Boy headquarters long before he ever picked up a mic. You attract dinner.
But when you report a long time ago that James that he mysteriously got sick getting mysterious and they looked at it landed with but how do you um but when you reported that back then months ago did you what was that in your reporting? Yep. They were saying that um cuz Diddy and um J were good friend good friends and they broke up.
I'm going to stop being that way. All right, y'all. I uh Googled you to see what are the questions that people are wanting to know.
Is Ricky Smiley married? No. [laughter] Have you ever been married?
I was married. I was married I was married for 12 years. When?
Man, I was married uh back in Did I know you? Back back back in the ' 90s. I think we we probably had met and had been around each other, but uh my ex-wife, we were still close.
She's a flight attendant for Delta. Oh, okay. And we was married.
We was young and uh I was married for 12 years. Wow. I had a a beautiful She's beautiful.
And y'all broke up after 12 years because You got to start doing honey this evening and your streets start hitting. Oh no. Steve Harvey and Cedric the Entertainer aren't immune either.
Cat accuses Harvey of stealing an old TV idea of his and claims Cedric lifted one of his best jokes two decades ago. Those barbs make for great headlines. But the real point is that both men have shaken Puffy's hand at charity gallas funded by Bad Boy.
They've hosted events designed to raise millions for education and youth outreach. Each time they thanked Diddy on stage, they solidified their partnership with him. Those smiles in fancy charity gallas give us an inside look at a network of influence few viewers ever see.
Def Comedy Jam 25. It's good to see so many funny people together in one room, all wondering the [music] same thing. Is Cat Williams going to show up?
[ __ ] I'm nervous as hell right now. Yes. Yes.
Oh, he's right there. There he is. I didn't know he was right there.
I would not have said that if I had said that. Yeah. I'm not used to quiet, introspective.
Cat Williams. No. Well, let me ask you this.
When have you ever seen this many heavy hitters all together at the same time in the same room? Yeah. [cheering] Right.
All right. Jen is with me now to talk about another story making headlines today. Yeah.
So, this one is actually sparked by these pictures. That's 49-year-old P. Daddy with his hand on his girlfriend's belly.
Now, that is 22year-old Lorie Harvey. They're in Cabo. She's of course talk show host Steve Harvey's [music] stepdaughter.
People are talking about maybe she could be pregnant. You know, he's rubbing her belly a little bit, but she's put up some Instagrams, I think, that shows some clues. Sushi, right?
Sushi a bad thing for [music] pregnancy. It could go either way. But then also she posted this picture of green juice, which you know, why would you want a flatter tummy if you really can't avoid it because you're carrying a child?
O, this is conflicting evidence. Okay. Uh Lori was once actually linked to Diddy's son, Justin.
Okay. Okay. So, they were together and then engaged a couple years ago to a Dutch soccer player.
She told Cararissa Thompson [music] about how he popped the question. We were in Malibu. I remember the time.
It was 11:30. I thought it was a joke. And then he went in his pocket and I started shaking.
They split up later on that year. Tory and Sean were actually spotted with her dad, Steve, on a boat in Italy earlier on this summer. That's all.
Well, then that's it. He's given [music] the blessing. They're together.
It even reaches into church walls. TD Jake preached at a gospel concert sponsored by Diddy's team. Those crowds saw platinum seats with VIP ropes and press walls that look like album launches.
Behind the hymns and sermons sat music execs and influencers picked by Bad Boys PR squad. [music] Cat mentions Jake in passing as one of the big deviant names set to get called out. That line might sound weird, but it explains exactly how Diddy's promotions fuse pop culture and faith all under one dark twisted umbrella.
Anyway, let's get out. So, TD Jake is on that list. On that list.
Um, and you know, Cat Williams, I I I don't know if he's a Christian or not. I I don't think he is. His mouth would say maybe he's he's maybe has faith, but he's bearing fruits of repentance.
But that podcast got what well over millions and millions of views because he just blasted the industry. And basically the whole thing is your your career is here. If we give you money and you join in on this debauchery, you join in on this sodomy, you join in on this pedophilia, you join in on these rituals, your career will go from here to here.
And that's actually been seen if you look at a lot of different careers, including Taylor Swift's. Um she actually started rubbing shoulders with uh P. Diddy a long time ago and then all of a sudden her career changed.
Now we also know that TD Jake is allegedly also a power bottom and he's a much older man and they say he's very enthusiastic in his endeavors. What happens when he pops something loose? You know what I'm saying?
It it's it's funny because they're they're mentioning sex workers, but they're mentioning they're not mentioning women. They're mentioning men as sex workers. Uh yeah.
Like like is is that is that a thing where like there's a website? What? It's just wild to hear like you mention the norm.
Have you ever heard of Grinder? I personally have not. That is why don't nobody ever talk about the fact that TD Cakes has an account allegedly on Grinder.
Kevin Hart gets a turn two as the so-called industry plant. Cat says Hart's movies from Ride Along to Night School only move forward after passing through Diddy's circle. Look at the credits.
You'll find Puffy's venture arm in the mix. [music] Sometimes on soundtracks, sometimes in executive producer slots. Hart's stand-up specials landed on platforms where Bad Boy had distribution deals.
Those patterns aren't coincidences. They clearly show Hart's path to the top ran alongside Combmes's empire in exchange [music] for what? Only Cat knows.
When he said he turned down 50 million four times, he didn't to protect his integrity and his virgin. No, he didn't. He did that.
He did that to say that Kevin Hart took 50 million to unverion his hole. Can you explain a little bit? No, I just told you what happened with that.
So So you don't believe Cat when he says that he turned down 50 million followers? No, I believe that was a a a punch at what he did what Kevin Hart did for that movie Get Hard. He showed y'all what he did.
He sucked. Will Frell's a kid hard. Now he's hide.
Now he's acting all hard. [laughter] Every picture he's just short. Oh, he wasn't ready.
All that. It's the same thing. I said it and this this sums it up well.
Like you don't you don't entertain the circus. You watch it, right? And when the lion comes out and rides the bike, you don't think about it too hard.
you just go, "Okay, that's crazy. The lion's riding the bike and then you go home and enjoy the rest of your day. " Uh, I don't feed into the stuff at all at the end of the day.
It's it's all entertainment to a certain degree. So, you just hope that people can be smart enough and have a tremendous amount of logic to just go and possibly do research or fact check. And if they do, then great.
If they don't, then kudos to that as well. Uh, I just don't have the time for it. There's too much going on.
In my opinion, one of the ones that affects me the most is Justin Bieber. Do you have the Kevin Hart one? Which is odd, Patad?
Cuz he it's he gets caught saying that he would wake up next to him and then he changes it and says, "We would fight off over the Frosted Flakes. " Even Kevin Hart is uncomfortable because you're admitting that you were sleeping next to a freaking child. And it's like, I'm tired of hearing all these stories and people just laugh about it.
We giggle. Like this is it right here. That's my brother right here from day one.
We used to wake up and I mean damn, pause. I mean I mean back in the days when he was like 10 and I was a little bit older his older brother we used to fight over the over the flakes you know what I'm saying before pause was invented you know [laughter] what I'm saying but it's my brother for real we used to wrestle off of the off of the frost wake he used to always get him early yo what the puff just say nobody's putting down just for me just said we used to wrestle over the frosted flakes and we're streaming Wow. That was stupid.
And then there's Ludicrous. Cat makes a huge Illuminati connection when it comes to him. According to Cat, only an organization as powerful as that could land him a $200 million contract.
That story feels half myth, half comedy. But the real partnerships speak for themselves. Hits on each other's albums, joint festival sets, and tribute shows for Biggie where they shared the stage.
Those moves hint at a trust built over decades. Cat wraps it in conspiracy talk, but you don't need secret symbols to see their alliance. Are you related to uh Luda?
No. Um, so we were both invited to an Illuminati thing and couldn't do the and and that's how I didn't get it. I'm not mad about it.
How much money they give? 200. Sir, fast and furious on what number right there.
Did you start to worry any about your own safety and stuff? Well, what it was that I was attempting to do was impossible. So before I do this interview, there is no Illuminati.
It's just a joke. It's just something that crazy people talk about. There's no such thing as our side and God's side.
None of that is even real. I got to come and make it real. So that's why when I said that, nobody came out and went, "That's not true.
I'm on God's side. " If part of the ritual is wearing a dress, then we should be able to look through entertainment and see all of these people being made to wear a dress. Yeah.
You don't see the dog catcher show up every, you know, every other year. I guess not a thing in a nice skirt or you don't see an electrician, right? So, come up in a blouse every now and then.
But how is any of this linked to Diddy and his ongoing legal battle? To understand that, we need to go back one year. In March 2024, federal agents raided Shaun Diddy Combmes's homes in Los Angeles and Miami, seizing electronics and documents in a sexing investigation.
By September, a grand jury indicted him on racketeering, sex trafficking, and transport charges. Then, in December, court filings stunned even the toughest reporters. those papers named Shan Carter, Jay-Z, accusing him and Combmes of drugging and ripping a 13-year-old girl after the 2,000 MTV VMAs.
In a case like this, obviously, you're not making any kind of a dynamic entry. This isn't a hostage situation, right? Where you're that's that's not what's happening here.
However, they did know that there would be weapons there, armed security, those kinds of things. That's why you saw those warrants being served um by for the most part a tactical SWAT team. simply that is procedure to keep everyone safe.
Um, a lot of people were frustrated when they saw the video that came out of the warrant that his home was, you know, in I guess disarray. But again, and I had said this before, my my gut said they were looking for digital evidence, which is in that indictment. There's a lot of mentions to digital evidence.
And that's why they tore up couch cushions. That's why they made holes in walls. They were looking for flash drives, tiny devices, uh, where these things were stored.
And so all of that is done methodically. It's all cataloged. And in a case like this where you're not necessarily rushing, you know, to put out a fire or something like that, it was all done in a very methodical way.
You typically go through uh room by room to catalog all of that evidence. The federal indictment of Sha Diddy Combmes has been unsealed. face charges striking, raketeering, and transportation to engage in prostitution.
Combmes allegedly planned and controlled the sex performances, which he called freakoffs, and he often electronically recorded them. In addition to the violence, the indictment alleges that Combmes threatened and coerced victims to get them to participate in the freakoffs. He used the embarrassing and sensitive recordings he made of the freakoffs as collateral against the victims.
The indictment also alleges the 54year-old maintained control over his victims in several ways, including by giving them drugs, giving and threatening to take away financial support or housing, promising career opportunities, monitoring their whereabouts, and even dictating physical appearance. The rapper Jay-Z's been accused of raping a 13-year-old girl in 2000, allegedly along with Sha Diddy Coups. Our US correspondent Martha Kelner has the latest from Los Angeles.
This civil suit was originally filed back in October against Sha Combmes, better known as PDD. It has now been amended to also include allegations against Jay-Z, whose real name is Sha Carter. In this civil suit, a woman says that when she was a 13-year-old girl back in the year 2000, uh that she attended an afterparty for the MTV Video Music Awards during which she says she was raped by Jay-Z and P Diddy.
She says that Jay-Z removed her clothes, pinned her down, and raped her while P. Diddy and an unnamed female celebrity watched on. She says she was then raped by P.
didd he uh as Jay-Z and this female celebrity watch once again. Combmes's own son, Justin Comolmes, is accused of organizing freakoff parties with underage girls. So, serious federal agents handcuffed him at the raid, though he faced no charges.
Justin Combmes. Justin Combmes. Justin Combmes.
You've been indicted with your dad. Now, ain't that something, God? Ain't that something?
how LeBron right and his son will be the first father son to play a game in the NBA and and D and P Diddy and his son will be the first father and son to get indicted and go to federal prison for messing with little boys. Ain't that about something? The apple don't fall too far from the tree, y'all.
Man, and I tell you all the time, man, you have to watch what you do around your kids because they're watching everything. And in his case, man, he watched what his dad did and his dad allowed him to do these things with him. But hey, man, he was named in that indictment yesterday with those 120 people.
You dig what I'm saying? 25 of them being minors. But that's kind of crazy that a younger man would love a minor.
But hey, man, I hope they was using condoms. About 30 different law enforcement vehicles at least. There are three bearcats on scene here.
This just all unfolded, Sandra. I would say less than 10 minutes ago. We got here even before the crime scene tape came up.
So, uh, we're just down the hill. If you look up the street where Tony is right now, to the right, you'll see one of those Bearcats and law enforcement. And on other side of those bushes, basically is that home that is registered to Bad Boy Films, which is part of Bad Boy Entertainment.
Former Bad Boy singer Kenna Harper shows up as a witness to violence [music] against Combmes's ex Cassie Ventura. Even industry heavyweights like Innercope co-founder Jimmy Iavine and Universal Music Boss Lucian Grange were briefly named for witnessing [music] or influencing testimony. Though Grange has since been dropped when Cat Williams sat down to [music] name and shame every celebrity tied to Diddy, it was an eerily similar court documented roster he [music] unpacked.
Coincidence? Not when it comes to Puff Daddy. New revelations show that after Don [music] Richard filed her lawsuit against Diddy, he allegedly bombarded his former bandmate, Kenna Harper, with over 50 calls in one day and reached out a total of 128 times over 4 days.
Prosecutors say that these calls were attempts to sway her testimony, part of a broader pattern [music] of trying to gaslight and manipulate witnesses. Can you blame Kina for distancing herself from the situation? She came under fire for posting that Richard's claims did not align with her experience [music] and some people criticized her for what it seemed like defending Diddy.
Given the pressure, it is understandable that she would want to clarify her stance, [music] especially with Diddy reportedly trying to reach out so persistently apologize to this [music] woman she's a victim to. Well, let's do it then. Now, they going [music] to do put kids in jail for hitting a super soaker.
What the they going to do? Oh, that' be horrible. Y'all be some pissy [ __ ] Go there if you want to.
[ __ ] [music] the picnic. All right, Jack. One got to go with all their works.
Let me see that again. So, we have Jimmy Leo. Oh [ __ ] I got to I got to say who they are.
Abna Braowitz. Uh Jimmy, Leo Cullen, Clive Davis, Barry Gordy, Leo Cullen. Now this is all his work.
YouTube music. [ __ ] that you [ __ ] Uh um so his all his you say he Jay-Z all that is damn ne these aren't just rumors or internet conspiracy theories. They're backed by court documents, federal indictments, and sworn statements.
As these cases head toward trial in May 2025, each name on this list underscores how far and how deep Shaun Diddy Combmes's empire reaches. [music] Whether these celebrities knew what they were signing on for or simply found themselves in the wrong place at the wrong time, one thing is [music] clear. When Cat Williams says he's revealing every celebrity in Diddy's circle, he's working from the same legal filings that paint this wide-ranging star-studded picture of alleged misconduct.
Christian Hansen, would you please start a podcast? The community would freak out. Everyone knows you speak the truth.
I do not enjoy listening to me talk. So, if I did a podcast, it would [music] have to kind of Okay, the answer is yes. Fine.
I'll do the podcast, and I'm working on it. All right, there you go, Tim. If you're as stunned by these names as we are, go ahead and like this [music] video.
