Police Interview With Diddy's Alleged 'Sex Slave' Resurfaces; Claims He 'Caught Herpes' From Encounters
A man who claimed to be Sean "Diddy" Combs' alleged "sex slave" spoke out against the hip-hop mogul years before Diddy was slapped with several lawsuits and had his homes raided by federal agents in connection with a sex trafficking investigation.
Shooting suspect Jonathan Oddi's 2018 interview with law enforcement resurfaced after at least four women and one man -- including singer Cassie Ventura and music producer Rodney "Lil Rod" Jones -- filed lawsuits accusing Combs of rape, sexual assault, physical abuse, sexual harassment, sex trafficking, and many other disturbing allegations.
While being questioned by investigators after allegedly opening fire inside one of Donald Trump's hotels, Oddi alleged that he had sex with Combs and his then-girlfriend Ventura several times and caught a sexually transmitted infection during these encounters.
"I had sex with Cassie and Sean. Basically, he would masturbate and tell me what to do with Cassie. I had like 15 encounters," Oddi told investigators in 2018, as seen in the video obtained by Law&Crime.
He claimed to have heard "lots of business" because the "I'll Be Missing You" hitmaker allegedly spoke to associates via phone or video chat in front of him.
"I was like a 'sex slave,' OK? For them, that's what I was," Oddi alleged.
Oddi, who was reportedly a former stripper and porn actor, went on to allege that he "caught herpes" from the encounters, which he said led him to sue Combs.
The man claimed he settled the lawsuit with the rapper, who allegedly paid him over $5 million because he "was scared I'd expose him."
Before this, however, Oddi alleged that Combs' lawyers asked him to turn in a "video recording" and that he "did so." He did not specify what this alleged video recording contained but suggested it may have been of one of their alleged encounters.
Law&Crime found no indication that Combs gave Oddi such an amount, and the man did not provide any evidence to back up his claims.
However, Oddi's claims appeared to mirror some of the allegations recently made by Ventura, who dated Combs from 2005 to 2018, and Jones, who worked closely with the rapper for his "The Love Album: Off the Grid" album from September 2022 to November 2023.
In her now-settled November 2023 lawsuit against Combs, Ventura alleged that her ex not only raped and beat her but also forced her to have sex with male prostitutes while he filmed the encounters.
Jones, in his own lawsuit against Combs, alleged that the Bad Boy Entertainment founder repeatedly sexually assaulted and harassed him as well as forced him to hire prostitutes for him in Miami, where sex work is illegal.
The music producer also alleged that Combs had hidden cameras installed in his homes to film guests at his so-called "freak off" parties and possessed alleged sex tapes of various celebrities, politicians, sports stars, and others who attended these gatherings.
During questioning, Oddi also talked about several conspiracy theories, including one that involved power players in the hip-hop world such as Combs.
"The hip-hop agenda is an agenda to move drugs all over the United States," he alleged to investigators. "They move all the dope...on private jets, which don't get screened by Customs."
Oddi claimed that those involved in this so-called agenda allegedly moved "cocaine," "liquid cocaine," and "high-power MDMA" -- also known as ecstasy or molly.
"I've seen the liquid cocaine. I've drank it myself having sex with Diddy and Cassie, OK? It's not good. He (Diddy) drinks it all the time," he alleged.
In their respective lawsuits, both Ventura and Jones made several claims about alleged drug use within Combs' inner circle.
Ventura claimed that Combs allegedly fed her opiates to keep her compliant and kept drugs out in the open "like candy."
Jones, meanwhile, alleged that Combs gave laced alcoholic beverages to attendees of his parties, including sex workers and "underage girls."
According to his lawsuit, the music producer also claimed Combs' chief of staff Kristina Khorram allegedly required all employees to carry around a bag filled with drugs such as cocaine, GHB, and MDMA.
Jones named Brendan Paul in his lawsuit as Combs' "mule" who allegedly "acquires" and "distributes" his "drugs and guns."
In late March -- around the time Combs' Los Angeles and Miami homes were raided by Homeland Security agents -- Paul, 25, was arrested at a Miami airport on cocaine and marijuana possession felony charges, People reported.
Despite the arrest, however, there was no indication that he was connected to Combs.
Paul later avoided jail time by agreeing to enter a drug diversion program.
Combs previously vehemently denied the allegations against him.
However, on Sunday, he posted a video on Instagram apologizing for physically assaulting Ventura after CNN published surveillance footage showing him grabbing, shoving, dragging, and kicking his then-girlfriend in a hotel in 2016.
Combs has not been charged in connection with the lawsuits and raids as of this writing.
