A 2002 interview with rapper P. Diddy detailing his party essentials has resurfaced following his 2024 arrest over allegations of sex trafficking.
Diddy, real name Sean Combs, was arrested by FBI agents on 16 September and charged with sex trafficking, racketeering and transportation to engage in prostitution. He is now facing criminal trial and has been denied bail twice by a judge.
Combs has since denied all criminal wrongdoing and pled not guilty to all charges brought against him.
Meanwhile, old interviews from the rapper talking about his infamous parties have since resurfaced online, with a 2002 clip taken from an appearance on Late Night with Conan O'Brien currently doing the rounds on social media.

Take a look at his comments in the clip below:
In the interview, Combs is asked about his party 'ingredients' by O'Brien, to which the rapper responds by reeling off a lengthy list that included 'beautiful women'.
"Now we need alcohols, not just one alcohol, alcohols," Combs began.
"You need the ladies, you need the booze, you need some water."
The inclusion of water in his list surprised O'Brien, to which he replied by asking if the water was for 'watering plants'.
However, Combs then clarified the water was for the women in attendance, replying: "I don't know if guys have noticed this like, a lot of ladies drink water at parties so if you don't have what they need they gonna leave.
"Gotta keep them there, locks on the doors."
The remark appeared to catch O'Brien off guard a little, as he responded by saying the party sounded 'kind of dangerous now', while the audience erupted in laughter.
"It's a little cakey but yeah rock with me," Combs responded, before going on to add that 'lot of heat' was also important at his parties.
"Heat affects the alcohol and you know everybody gets a little bit more comfortable and loose, builds up a nice little sweat," he explained.
The latest update in the case has seen over 100 people launch lawsuits against Combs alleging sexual abuse dating as far back as 1991.
Confirming the news on October 1 in a press conference, the alleged victims' attorney Tony Buzbee said: "We will leave no stone unturned to find all potentially liable parties, to include any individual or entity who participated in or benefited from this egregious behaviour."
A lawyer for Combs has since denied the further allegations via a statement issued to LADbible Group which reads: "As Mr. Combs’ legal team has emphasized, 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."
