AceShowbiz - P. Diddy allegedly came clean about his sexuality in Blood Orange's song called "Hope". Near the end of the video as two guys were seen embracing each other while they're walking with a group of men, Diddy said, "Sometimes I ask myself, like / You know, what is it going to take for me not to be afraid."
"To be loved the way, like, I really wanna be loved? / But that I know how I really wanna be loved / But I'm, but I'm, like, scared to really, really feel that / You know, it's like you want something / But you don't know if you can handle it," the music mogul continued. "Maybe one day I'll get over my fears and I'll receive."
As Diddy had his serious moment in the studio seemingly alluding to his sexuality, Tyler, the Creator and A$AP Rocky were seen goofing off in the background. Tyler came out of the closet years ago while Blood Orange came out as sexually fluid in 2018. A$AP was also plagued with gay rumors over the years but he insisted he's straight.
As the internet chatters regarding Diddy's sexuality heated up, a 2017 video which featured a drunk Diddy calling another man "daddy" resurfaced. During the interview, the Bad Boy Records founder additionally insisted he "never really" partied with Fabolous. "We partied for my birthday before. You came to my party," a confused Fab said.
The alcohol-fueled interview then prompted 50 Cent to throw shades at Diddy. "He says to Fabolous, 'me and you, we need to party.' What is you talking about? When people say that to me I get a little uncomfortable," Fiddy later explained in an interview on "The Breakfast Club".
"He said something to me a long time ago, at Chris Lighty's wedding. He told me he'd take me shopping," the G-Unit star added. "I looked at him like, 'What'd you just say? Let me move, man, before I do something. You gon' make me mess up the wedding.' No. That's something a guy says to a girl."
Meanwhile, in 2009, rapper Xzibit recalled the one time he was taken to a gay club by Diddy. He was so shocked when he discovered what kind of club it was that he immediately took off. "We leave the club directly. I didn't say peace to nobody. It was suspect," he said.
Diddy himself once accidentally admitted to sleeping with Usher.
He, however, never directly addressed the rumors surrounding his sexuality.
