Video of Diddy inviting 12-year-old Daveigh Chase to afterparty re-emerges following her death
A video of Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs asking 12-year-old Daveigh Chase if she is coming to an afterparty has resurfaced after her death.
The Lilo & Stitch voice actor, also known for playing the little girl in The Ring, died of meningitis earlier this week, according to family members, who said she suffered with addiction and drifted into homelessness in her final years.
On social media, a clip from the 2003 MTV Movie Awards has reemerged, showing Diddy ask Chase if she is ‘coming to the after-party tonight?’.
When the actress nods, Combs laughs and says: “Yeah!”

The pair met earlier in the evening when the disgraced music mogul and Ashton Kutcher presented Chase with the villain award for her portrayal of Samara Morgan in the The Ring.
Diddy is still serving out a 50-month prison sentence after he was found guilty on two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution.
He was cleared of racketeering and sex trafficking charges in the same criminal trial back in October.
In an interview with the Daily Mail, Chase’s mother Cathy said she would search every evening for her whereabouts online and always feared the worst could happen.
"I would just put her name in the coroner's [search system] and see if her name came up and if somebody had her somewhere," she said.

"I would look at their list of unidentified bodies. It was very difficult, but you do everything you can as a mother."
Daveigh injured her back after a motorcycle accident around 2016, and Cathy said she would take painkillers, such as oxycodone, which she thinks marked the beginning of her addiction.
“She was seeking drugs and was partying with the wrong people. I never kicked my daughter out. She wanted freedom and these people got her hooked on some drugs. That was the beginning,” she added.
Cathy said she never abandoned her daughter and continually tried to help her. From 2018, Chase was in and out of jail and the last time she saw her was during a prison visit.
“She was completely gone, like, out of her mind. I honestly thought there was something wrong with her,” Cathy, who would wait to pick her up after getting released, said.
“My daughter was never diagnosed with mental health other than PTSD. But the drugs took hold of her.
“It upsets me because people are saying I must've been a bad mother, but I never gave up on her.”
