Jaden Smith: “I couldn’t walk for a week. My father worked with him (P. Diddy), and it caused trauma to both me and Justin Bieber.”

Rapper P. Diddy, also known as Sean Combs, was arrested in New York on September 17. He is accused of kidnapping women, drugging them, and forcing them into sexual activity (sometimes with the use of firearms and threats of violence). In September, police searched his home, where he had hosted various parties. Reportedly, items used during “Freak Outs” (orgies) were seized from the location, including drugs and more than 1,000 bottles of baby oil. The rapper denies all allegations. In the past, several women have accused Sean Combs of sexual assault.
