The Kardashians and American rapper Sean ‘P Diddy’ Combs have many connections in Hollywood and have socialized in the same circles for numerous years.
Following Diddy’s shocking arrest in New York last week, old clips of Keeping Up With The Kardashians resurfaced on social media, connecting the famous reality TV family to the rapper.
Fifty-four-year-old P. Diddy is currently in federal custody while awaiting trial after being charged with numerous allegations which he denies. He has pleaded not guilty to sex trafficking, racketeering conspiracy, transportation and engaging in prostitution.
Diddy’s supposed wild “freak off” parties have hit the headlines as party-goers and celebs open up about their time socializing with the music mogul. The notorious gatherings are rumored to have involved the use of illicit substances, covert cameras, non-consensual relations and prostitution. Diddy’s lawyer, Marc Agnifilo, defended his client outside the New York courthouse, stating, “Mr. Combs is a fighter, he’s going to fight this to the end. He’s innocent.”
How The Kardashians Became Close With Diddy
The Kardashians and Diddy have been linked for many years, moving in similar social circles. In recent years, the reality TV royalty have distanced themselves from the rapper. Just before Diddy’s homes were searched in March this year, Kim Kardashian reportedly unfollowed him on Instagram.
Diddy had a close bond with Kris Jenner, and once admitted when appearing on her talk show that he had “a long time crush,” on the matriarch. He joked to Kris, “Once you go black you never go back!” as the momager giggled, “Is he flirting with me again?”
Over their decade-long friendship, Kris helped Diddy launch his platform, Revolt TV, and both attended the Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremony honoring producer and singer Kenneth ‘Babyface’ Edmonds. The Kardashian family all attended Diddy’s exclusive star-studded 50th birthday party in December 2019.
Kim’s ex, Ray J, opened up about his own experiences with Diddy and claims “a lot of people in the industry” are oblivious to the horrific allegations against the star. He admitted that people were lining up to “have a good time at a Diddy party,” and be “inspired,” but had no idea about the sinister side of the events.
“We’ve never seen the stuff that’s being said and the stuff that people are discovering, like, I’ve never been in rooms that people are talking about, and I never knew they existed.”
The singer continued that while the allegations aren’t “factual yet,” they are still “hurtful and confusing” for many.
Old Episodes Of Keeping Up With The Kardashians Revealed Khloe Kardashian’s Ties To Diddy’s Infamous Parties
After Diddy’s arrest, clips from old episodes of the reality show Keeping Up With The Kardashians appeared on social media, linking the famous sisters to the rapper.
In a clip which has resurfaced online amid Diddy’s legal issues, Khloe Kardashian reveals she attended Diddy’s parties with then-20-year-old Justin Bieber. The reality TV star shared, “I got on a plane at 5.30am…”
“Well, this party…I think half the people there were butt naked.”
When Kourtney Kardashian asked who was involved in the apparently wild party, Khloe gave a list of names, including Diddy, Quincy Brown, French Montana and Justin. Khloe declared the partygoers “a good group of guys to be with.”
In another clip from Kocktails with Khloe in 2016, Khloe and Kourtney share a cocktail with Diddy. Khloe professed, “Well, I know you’re known for the parties. When you think of a party or a good time, you think of Puff.” The trio go on to reminisce about their “epic nights,” and their many parties.
Kourtney told her younger sister that, “That night was fun ’cause all the girls ditched me, so I was like me and the boys. Like it was me, Kanye [West], Corey [Gamble], T [Tyga] and we were all just like hanging out and it was fun.”

Kris Jenner’s Boyfriend, Corey Gamble, Is Even Closer To Diddy Than The Kardashians
Kris Jenner’s boyfriend, Corey Gamble, has found himself included in rumors and conspiracies connected to Diddy’s arrest.
Before the 43-year-old became a reality TV star and influencer, Corey Gamble was a talent and tour manager for celebrities like Justin Bieber. This job allowed him to socialize and meet many of the top names in music, including Diddy. Corey was also close to Diddy’s ex-partner, Kim Porter, who passed away in 2018. He posted a tribute to the late star in 2020 on what would have been her birthday, captioned “thank you for all u & diddy did for my Life”
During a Juicy Scoop podcast on April 23 2024, host Heather McDonald and guest Spencer Pratt discussed an unfounded conspiracy theory that recently appeared on social media linking Corey and Kris to Diddy. “The new conspiracy on TikTok is—[which] I’m sure it’ll end this week because she’ll pop up on Instagram—but Kris fled the country, she has not been seen since Diddy’s house was raided,” The Hills star Spencer Pratt revealed. This is unfounded as Kris has posted numerous things on social media since Diddy’s house was raided.
There is a mystery to Corey Gamble’s past, which has made people wonder how connected he is connected to Diddy. Back when Kanye West appeared on Keeping Up With The Kardashians, he expressed concern over Kris’ partner and how he appeared to have no family.
Khloe admitted in the season 16 episode that, “Corey does tend to be pretty secretive and that does have me pretty guarded … We don’t know Corey like that.
Corey reportedly met Kris in August 2014 at the 40th birthday party of fashion designer Riccardo Tisci, which was thrown by Kim’s ex-husband Kanye West in Ibiza.
In a series of now-deleted 2022 social messages, Kanye West also dissed Corey for his connection to Diddy and Bieber. “I think he’s a nice person. Not a great person. A nice person who used to be around Puff’s family then got around Justin Bieber.”
He then accused Corey of sweeping in on the Kardashian-Jenner family for fame after Kris’ divorce, before accusing him of getting Kim Kardashian “linked with the liberals in a deep way.”
