An interview with R&B singer Usher about living with P. Diddy when he was 13 has gone viral.
In the mid-90s, young Usher spent a year in New York with now-controversial rapper and producer. This interview from 2016 resurfaced after P. Diddy‘s recent arrest.

In the interview with Howard Stern, Usher recalled his time living with Diddy. Stern asked what it was like for a 13-year-old boy to live in house “filled with girls and endless parties.”
Usher responded, “It wasn’t exactly like that. It was interesting. I got to see things. I was there to see lifestyle, and I did. I don’t think I fully understood what I was seeing. It was pretty wild. It was crazy.”
When co-host jokingly asked if any of Diddy’s guests tried to flirt with Usher, he smiled and said, “I didn’t say that,” but admitted he saw “some interesting things.”

On staying at parties until 4 a.m., Usher proudly shared that he partied longer than anyone else.
While it might sound like a teenage dream, Usher made it clear he wouldn’t want that life for his own kids. When asked if he’d ever send his children to such a “summer camp,” he firmly said, “Hell no!”
Usher sent to live with P. Diddy to “gain coolness and style” by producer L.A. Reid, who had also faced accusations of sexual misconduct. Reid later admitted it was irresponsible to send Usher to “wildest party animal in the country.”
P. Diddy’s recent arrest followed multiple accusations from his ex-girlfriend and others involving violence, drug use, and human trafficking for sexual exploitation.

During a March raid on Diddy’s mansion, authorities found illegal substances, weapons, and over 1,000 bottles of baby oil and lubricant.
Diddy made his first court appearance on October 10, but it’s unclear when the trial will start.
