Is there any sex tapes of Diddy
Executive summary
Multiple news outlets and participants in the legal proceedings assert that at least one explicit video involving Sean “Diddy” Combs exists and has been circulated or turned over to authorities, but no publicly verifiable sex tape has been released for independent confirmation; reporting cites lawyers, a witness who says flash drives containing tapes were seen, and media reports that footage has been “shopped” to outlets while Diddy’s team has denied knowledge [1] [2] [3] [4] [5].
1. Allegations of a leaked sex tape being shopped around Hollywood
In October 2024 multiple news organizations reported that attorney Ariel Mitchell‑Kidd told media she had been alerted to the existence of a pornographic video featuring Combs and another A‑list celebrity and that versions or “stills” were being offered to media outlets, which those outlets characterized as being “shopped around” Hollywood [3] [6] [7] [4] [1].
2. Law enforcement says at least one tape is in investigators’ hands
Separate reporting states a sex tape allegedly connected to Combs was turned over to federal authorities: a sex worker reportedly provided footage to prosecutors under a proffer agreement, and news outlets say the recording is part of the material investigators are reviewing in the broader probe into “freak‑offs” and alleged sex‑trafficking activity [5] [8].
3. A court witness says multiple tapes were shown to him on flash drives
A court witness, Courtney Burgess, told an interviewer he had been given flash drives containing “at least eight sex tapes” involving multiple celebrities and that some of those tapes reportedly included minors, a claim aired on NewsNation that the outlet framed as coming from that witness and his attorney [2].
4. No publicly verifiable release; media reports and claims are the public record
Despite multiple media reports and attorney statements alleging the existence and circulation of explicit footage, no outlet cited in reporting has published a verified copy of any tape showing Combs — and the identifying details, provenance, and chain of custody for the materials described remain matters of reporting and legal inquiry rather than independently confirmed public evidence [3] [1] [9] [4] [2].
5. Defense and legal context: contested facts and competing narratives
Diddy has pleaded not guilty to the federal charges against him, his legal team has characterized some reporting as seeking publicity, and his attorney has maintained that the so‑called “freak‑offs” were consensual encounters among adults, creating a clear dispute between prosecutors/claimants and the defense over both the meaning and legality of recordings and encounters [5] [4] [3].
6. What can and cannot be concluded from the reporting
Based on the available reporting, it is accurate to say responsible outlets and legal actors report that alleged videotapes exist and that at least one has been turned over to law enforcement, but it is not accurate to assert that any sex tape of Diddy has been publicly released and independently authenticated; the identity of the other person in alleged footage has been kept anonymous in reporting, provenance is disputed, and some claims (including allegations about minors) are part of active investigations and lawsuits rather than resolved court findings [5] [2] [1] [9].
