Diddy predicted that his parties would cause him to be arrested in resurfaced interview
A resurfaced interview clip of Sean 'Diddy' Combs had him predicting that his parties would end up with him being arrested.
The musician is currently in jail after being arrested in New York City on charges of racketeering, sex trafficking by force, fraud or coercion and transportation to engage in prostitution.
Combs has entered a plea of not guilty and denies all criminal wrongdoing, as more people are coming forward with claims of sex abuse.
For the time being, Diddy will remain behind bars, as he has twice been denied bail.

A representative of his legal team said: "As Mr. Combs’ legal team has emphasised, he cannot address every meritless allegation in what has become a reckless media circus.
"That said, Mr. Combs emphatically and categorically denies as false and defamatory any claim that he sexually abused anyone, including minors.
"He looks forward to proving his innocence and vindicating himself in court, where the truth will be established based on evidence, not speculation."
With the allegations made against him there are people looking through his former statements and things people have said about him.
In a clip from 1999 the musician spoke about his parties, saying 'they're gonna probably be arresting me' over them.
He said: "You're gonna hear about my parties, they're gonna be shutting them down, they're gonna probably be arresting me, doing all types of crazy things.
"Just 'cause we wanna have a good time."
Other old Diddy interviews that have been examined since the allegations against Combs were made and the rapper arrested include an appearance he made on Ellen from 2009.
In that interview he said his parties ran between 9:30pm to about 3am, and when DeGeneres said she'd expect a Diddy party to start at around midnight, he said 'a different type of party'.
Diddy then said the party would be followed by an 'after-party' held on 'the top two floors' of a hotel.
A 2011 interview where Combs was speaking with Justin Bieber on The Jimmy Kimmel Show had the rapper saying they'd 'become friends in a strange way'.
"He knows better than to be talking about the things that he does with Big Brother Puff on national television," Diddy said elsewhere in the interview.
"Everything ain't for everybody."
Those comments have now got some people wondering if there's more to read into those words given the possible context and the allegations that have been made against Diddy.
