“Everybody knows ain’t no party like a Diddy party.” LeBron James’ viral comment from an old Instagram Live video has gotten him into more controversy than any other incident in his career. Why? It left many wondering if LBJ was already aware of the sex trafficking, sexual assault and distribution of firearms and drugs that the rapper was allegedly involved in. And as P Diddy was arrested in New York on Monday following a grand jury indictment, an NBA parody account sparked another major hoax on X about LeBron’s secret meeting with the rapper prior to his arrest.

“It’s crazy, I was bumping to ‘Mo Money Mo Problem’ earlier today in the car and I had a weird feeling today was the day the feds will catch Diddy.” TheNBACentel page claimed LeBron said after the rapper was taken into federal custody. Moreover, they even cited media veteran Brandon Robinson as the source. Sure enough, fans began speculating that the Lakers star bumped into the rapper, attaining prior knowledge regarding what was about to happen. But as it turns out, its all a giant hoax and LeBron has made no such comments about the arrest.

In fact, James has even cut all social media ties with Diddy as he unfollowed the rapper on IG months ago after a video of him physically assaulting his ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura was released by CNN. Not only LeBron, but other big-name athletes including Stephen Curry, Patrick Mahomes, and Floyd Mayweather have cut ties with Diddy amid the ongoing investigation and controversy. Following the initial lawsuits, Diddy’s houses in LA and Miami were raided by US Homeland Security federal agents earlier this year. And now the investigation has resulted in his arrest on unspecified charges. But this is not the first time LeBron’s connection with Diddy has gotten him into trouble!

P Diddy and LeBron James’ children vacationed together amid controversy

While LBJ was dealing with the aftermath of his IG live comment going viral, his younger son Bryce was spotted vacationing with the rapper’s twin daughters, Jessie and D’Lila Combs, back in April. Moreover, they even made a dance video together while in Turks and Caicos. Sure enough, the video instantly went viral as fans began connecting it to LeBron’s relationship with Diddy amid the ongoing investigation. Despite the speculations, the video was harmless as Bryce has been friends with Diddy’s twins for a long time.

As a matter of fact, younger James even took one of the twins to his High School’s Homecoming Dance a year ago, while the other twin went as a date with Bryce’s friend Boogie. On top of that, there have even been dating rumors about Bryce and one of the twins as they constantly feature together in IG live videos and other social media platforms. But in the end, its just kids being kids and likely has no connection to Diddy’s ongoing case. However, these frequent ties occasionally give rise to some outrageous conspiracy theories about LeBron and Diddy’s connection like the one mentioned earlier.
