For the Record, Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs “Is Not Homosexual”
The entertainment blog Sandra Rose had it on very good authority, or whatever, that two male music moguls enjoy getting their freak on together. Ms. Rose did not identify by name who these people are, but she posted a picture of Sean “Diddy” Combs atop the not-so-blind item. That got the rapper-producer-designer-foodie-vodka extraordinaire attorneys quite upset.
So goes the rumormongering:
Both men are very secretive about their personal lives and their tight inner circle consists of only family members and friends they have known and trusted for decades. Both of these men have children by various women and they share well-documented reputations for being lotharios. But, according to my source, they also share an affinity for men.
According to my source, the moguls get together for rough sex when their busy schedules allow. Mogul #2 isn’t interested in serious relationships with men, but mogul #1 is. “He’s had longterm relationships with men. That’s his thing,” said my source. “He likes to sit at home [with his boyfriend] and watch movies and hold hands, but [mogul #2] isn’t into that.” The source said that [Mogul #2] instructs his bodyguards to bring him men blindfolded. After sex with them, he cleans up and leaves. He doesn’t consider himself to be gay, and he uses sex with random men (in addition to the drugs and alcohol) as a means of “escaping his demons.”
So upset, Diddy’s counsel fired off this C&D, confirming once and for all that the pitchman for Ciroc vodka and a half dozen crappy MTV shows is a proud heterosexual man … who is the father of five kids from three women.

Don’t celebrity attorneys know the fastest way to get a rumor solidified in the public consciousness is to acknowledge it, and threaten its perpetrators?
Feh. I like Diddy + some of his “crappy shows on MTV” + VH1 (one of which gave trans woman Laverne her break + lead to her being cast in makeover show TransForm Me). If I were in his shoes, I’d have objected to this blind item more for the “drugs + alcohol” bit than anything else. As for his sexuality, don’t know, don’t care.
That’s a really stupid thing to do on the lawyers part–Wendy Williams and countless others have alluded to P. Diddy in the past.
Don’t give them fodder.
Regardless of who or what Combs does it with, there’s a cautionary tale here for those who’d consider being on the other end of equation.
I’m glad I never met any closeted celebrity who tempted me. How dazzling would they have to be to live the mental aftermath of just being another of their use-and-discarded walking wounded…? Famous or not, closet cases are a stroll down a very troubled road.
Nonesense, if Diddy is gay with 7 and a alf kid then I sukkk men balls for free. And there’nothing bad about it, I love it
I’m surprised people aren’t angered by the usage of our sexuality as a source of embarrassment and humiliation of others.
Calling straight men gay to humiliate or garner readers them doesn’t exactly help end homophobia.

Sounds like a “puff piece” to me………… :-p
If he’s so mortified of being thought gay, why is he going around wearing earrings?
Jay-Z is not, has never been or will be gay, Beyonce will castrate his [insert bleep here] off his body! She don’t play LOL!
Of course not. Diddy is black. There are no black homosexuals. Homosexuality is a white mans perversion.
Maybe Jay Z and Sean Diddy Combs are bisexual. There are tons of straight-identifying guys who are bisexually oriented.
And who does Combs think he is? People are allowed to speculate. He’s not special. Fuck off, Combs. You’re not special in having people speculate on your sexuality.
I don’t know if Combs is bisexual or not. But I do know he makes horrible music.
Libelous? Haven’t there been numerous recent precedents that say homosexuality is not libelous?
Being called gay is as slanderous as is being called left-handed.
@ChrisM:
Perhaps in most areas of society that is true but not in the black community and especially not in the hip hop culture.
Being called gay is a huge insult & can have serious consequences for a person’s career.
Maybe we can bring down the entire rap and hip-hop industry by calling all black musicians gay or bi. The potential is delicious to contemplate. Here we have an industry which has traded on sexism and homophobia, and here is our opportunity to bring it down.
oh, yes, puffy dad, those tactics worked well for Tommy Cruise..
@jason: Really only rap and hip-hop have done that?
And you’re saying all rap and hip-hop does it?
Rather sweeping and uninformed.
Not to mention the fact that you don’t care about the backlash of calling straight men gay. This crap is one of the many things that causes homophobia.
I don’t even like P-dummy, but he isn’t remotely homophobic, and has openly gay employees. So cut the crap and pull your head out of your ass.
I’m fairly certain there’s music of every genre that is both sexist and homophobic. Why don’t you pick on Country music? Not on your agenda?
You know what I’m going to go further and add that in the Hip-Hop industry a great many of the employees working behind the scenes are gay men. So seriously just fuck off.
I don’t even like Hip-Hop, but hiding behind gay issues to conceal your issues with black men is pathetic.
I’m 100% sure all of the gay men working in the hip-hop industry making almost six figures if not six figures a year don’t want you trying to take their jobs away. Those men are White, Black, Latino, and Asian. In fact one of P-dummy’s white openly gay employees was even on one of his reality shows or something a while back.
So your sweeping attack hits more than just brown people, Jason. Not that it matters, you shouldn’t have a desire to attack anyone because of their skin color in the first place.
@jason: Awesome idea.
Pray they are not Gay; we don’t want to give homosexuality a bad name.
@HILARIOUS: Great points!!
Im glad you called that bigot Jason out for what he really is. Think s for bringing him down. He’s a terrible example for our GLBT youth.
I really wish Diddy would not be gay. He would give GLBT community a bad name. Like Perez Hilton.
The simple fact is that black musicians are notoriously homophobic (towards men) as well as horribly sexist (towards women).
Of course, this is in addition to their appallingly stereotypical images in their music videos and lyrics. I know of not one commercial black artist who is even remotely close to being subversive on the model of a David Bowie or Johnny Rotten.
Black music sucks.
Radio is also very biased in favor of black music. Consider that there are more Hispanics than blacks in the USA, yet there are hardly any Hispanics in the hot 100.
Also, why are there radio stations that market themselves as “black”? I thought this was racist. I’ve never heard of a radio station marketing itself as “white”, so I don’t see why blacks should be allowed to market themselves on the basis of color.
There is definitely a form of political correctness in the USA which allows blacks to get away with sexism, homophobia and racial marketing. I’ve had it, and I’m not afraid to say so.
@jason: @jason: Jason, you are an idiot, a racist, and quite frankly have no idea what you’re talking about. Were you born stupid, or did someone drop you on your head as a child? You know of not one commercial black artist who ‘is even remotely close to being subversive on the model of a David Bowie or Johnny Rotten’? Off hand I can name two: Prince and Andre 3000.
You contribute nothing valuable to any discussion here, are a nuisance, and basically a troll. Seriously, just shut up.
Prince and Andre 3000 subversive? LOL. I’d call them “conservative stereotypes”.
Most black commercial music is sexist or homophobic. That’s a fact, not an opinion. Black men also seem obsessed with letting us know that they are heterosexual. If you say they might be gay or bi, they become defensive.
I really don’t give a rat’s about Mr Combs. His music stinks for starters.
@jason: Thanks for proving my point for me. The only bigot is you and the proof is in your ridiculous posts.
Post more of your ridiculous garbage as you can see you aren’t impressing anyone.
Ok folks: we LGB people have many enemies who fight day in & day out AGAINST our rights to hold our jobs, get married, serve in the military, adopt kids, teach in schools…..the beat goes on.
Sean Combs is not our enemy. I dont like his music, so I don’t buy it, but I admire his talent as a business man, and I see no reason he should be the target of our rage.
Let’s focus on fighting our enemies and watching our supporters’ backs.
@jason: Jason you’re depriving some village of an idiot. Go away.
“Jason” is a cyber troll, looking to solicit negative attention by posting stupidity. Understand that he’s a goon and just smile and nod at his gibberish.
