Usher claims he saw some ‘very curious things’ while living at Diddy’s New York mansion when he was just 14

Usher claimed he was exposed to some ‘pretty wild’ stuff while living at rapper Diddy (born Sean Love Combs)’s New York mansion when he was just 14.

Following Homeland Security agents’ raids on the music mogul’s Holmby Hills and Miami mansions as part of an ongoing sex trafficking investigation this week, social media users unearthed a 2016 interview of Usher talking about his time living with the superstar, 54, in the spring of 1994.

While appearing on The Howard Stern Show, the Yeah! hitmaker, 45, alleged that it was LA Reid’s idea to have him live with the R&B singer in Scarsdale to ‘see the lifestyle.’

When asked if Diddy’s ‘place was filled with chicks and orgying nonstop’ by Stern, Usher replied: ‘Not really… I got a chance to see some things … I don’t know if I could indulge and even understand what I was looking at.’

‘It was pretty wild. It was crazy. There were very curious things taking place and I didn’t necessarily understand it,’ he admitted.

As for whether he would send his children to ‘Puffy Flavor Camp,’ Usher responded with an emphatic: ‘Hell no!’

Back in 2004, Usher told Rolling Stone that Diddy introduced him to ‘a totally different set of s**t — sex, specifically.’

‘Sex is so hot in the industry, man,’ he continued. ‘There was always girls around. You’d open a door and see somebody doing it, or several people in a room having an orgy. You never knew what was going to happen.’

Diddy is currently at the center of sex trafficking claims and sex assault lawsuits.

On Tuesday, he was spotted at a Miami airport hours after Homeland Security raids on his Miami and Los Angeles mansions.

Diddy was reportedly questioned by Customs agents at Miami-Opa Locka Executive Airport – about 15 miles south of the investigation at his home – at around 6pm local time.

This followed suspicions that the mogul had fled the country when his private jet LoveAir LLC Gulfstream 5 was tracked flying to Antigua.

Combs was seen by witnesses with his entourage walking around the Customs office at the Miami airport but was not detained or taken into custody.

While he was stopped by Homeland Security, he was not arrested and remains a free man, according to TMZ. A spokesperson for HSI Miami declined comment.

At least two properties belonging to Combs in Los Angeles and Miami were searched Monday by federal Homeland Security Investigations agents and other law enforcement as part of an ongoing sex trafficking investigation.

The rapper, who is facing mounting sexual harassment and rape lawsuits, was nowhere to be seen as agents combed through his properties on Monday afternoon, removing boxes and bags of evidence.

A police line was set up around the Los Angeles house in the wealthy Holmby Hills neighborhood near Beverly Hills, where at least two men were put in handcuffs.

Armed agents from the Department of Homeland Security entered luxury properties on both East and West Coasts of the United States, with video footage showing helicopters circling overhead.

The agents, who were wearing vests, gathered in the home´s backyard near the pool. Multiple law enforcement agents were seen carrying bags and boxes of evidence to a van.

A command post was set up outside the house and agents were still entering and leaving hours after the search began.

A spokesperson for Homeland Security Investigations told DailyMail.com in a statement: ‘Earlier today, Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) New York executed law enforcement actions as part of an ongoing investigation, with assistance from HSI Los Angeles, HSI Miami, and our local law enforcement partners.’

‘We will provide further information as it becomes available.’

DailyMail.com has contacted representatives for Diddy for comment.

There was no immediate official confirmation about what precipitated the raids.
