In a resurfaced 1999 interview, Diddy made it clear the whole point of his parties was just to have a good time, and he was determined to keep them rolling — permits or not — despite authorities trying to shut him down or even arrest him.
Diddy told ET, “They’re going to be shutting them down. They’re going to probably be arresting me, doing all types of crazy things just because we want to have a good time.”
He also shared his thoughts on why his parties faced so much resistance … saying people tend to get intimidated when something shakes up their usual environment — especially when it breaks down racial and generational barriers.
At the end of the day, Diddy said his parties were just about bringing people together from all different backgrounds. He added he felt good knowing how to throw a killer party, especially with people always dying to score an invite.
Of course, this paints a much more innocent picture of Diddy’s gatherings compared to the notorious “Freak Offs” and “White Parties” mentioned for sex trafficking, kidnapping, and racketeering charges.
