Media ztaske Out confirms that Toure explained on Joy Reid’s MSNBC show, “I know [Diddy] well enough that I called him, and said ‘I have a family member that I’d like you to hire as an intern’ and he said yes.”
“[My family member] was flying around on jets, and [with Diddy] in Miami and Atlanta. Then the internship stopped abruptly 3 or 4 month into it.”
“Years later they finally told me – and this person was a male – Puff said ‘come home and spend the night with me, or the intern is over.’ And [my family member] said absolutely not and the internship ended.”
Listen:
Diddy has won three Grammy Awards from 13 nominations, two MTV Video Music Awards, and a Guinness World Record for “Most Successful Rap Producer” in 1997. Outside of music, he has worked in production for other media, including MTV’s reality series Making the Band. He launched the clothing retailer Sean John in 1998, for which he won Menswear Designer of the Year by the Council of Fashion Designers of America in 2004, having previously been nominated in 2000. Combs was the brand ambassador for the vodka retailer Cîroc from 2007 to 2023, and co-founded the television network Revolt in 2013. Through his business ventures, Forbes estimated his net worth at US$1 billion in 2022.
In late 2023, Combs’ former girlfriend, singer Cassie Ventura, filed a multi-million dollar lawsuit against him for sexual assault, which was settled out of court. In the following days, three more lawsuits were filed by additional claimants, with similar allegations of misconduct ranging from 1990 to 2003. In the wake of the allegations, various companies and brands dissociated with his likeness or involvement.
Journalist and cultural critic Touré Neblett claims Sean “Puffy” Combs propositioned one of his male family members years ago.
Touré made the statement in response to a federal raid at homes linked to Combs in Miami and Holmby Hills on Monday.

“I know [Combs] well enough to call him and say, ‘Hey, I need a favor,’” said Touré, pictured with Beyonce in a viral photo in the mid-1990s.
“I have never talked about this publicly, and he said yes. And they were flying around… Atlanta, Miami, whatever on the jet…”
Touré continued: “And then the internship stopped abruptly, like three or four months into it. And I spoke to my family member, like, ‘What happened?’ They wouldn’t say… And years later, they finally came out — a male — and said that, Puff had said, ‘Come home, stay the night with me, or the internship is over.’”
Touré said the internship ended after his family member told Combs “‘Absolutely not!’”
Touré is not surprised by the federal raids connected to s*x trafficking allegations made against Combs in multiple lawsuits.
“We feel like we’ve seen this coming,” he said.
