Nick Cannon opened up about attending Sean “Diddy” Combs‘ famous parties when he was just 16 years old.
“I’m telling the truth. I remember standing outside trying to get into a Puff party here in New York,” the 44-year-old actor said on “The Breakfast Club” on Friday.
“Everyone was going,” he added. “It was like the ‘One More Chance’ video. It was real stuff.”

The music video Cannon referred to was for a Notorious B.I.G. song, which took place at a packed party in New York.
“Bad Boy parties were legendary in New York in the late ’90s,” Cannon described, claiming that everyone attended Diddy’s parties. “Bad Boy Records” is the label founded by Diddy.
Cannon said he has no problem speaking openly about being at Combs’ wild parties because “he has nothing to hide,” but stressed that he never attended the infamous “freak offs.”
“I was in there dancing, doing my thing,” he said with a laugh.
Cannon, whose first major success came when he starred in the children’s sketch comedy series “All That,” also noted that despite enjoying a good party, “he has never been drunk” in his life. He confessed that he neither drinks nor does drugs.
Cannon’s comments come after a Texas-based lawyer overseeing more than 100 sexual assault lawsuits against Combs claimed that many high-profile individuals are linked to the alleged crimes.
