At the height of his fame in the early 2000s, Sean “Diddy” Combs was at Tokyo’s 7th Heaven strip club with about 25 people when he invited topless dancer Rachel Kennedy to his hotel to party, he exclusively told The Post.
“He was calling me, and we started drinking and talking,” recalls Kennedy, now 51 and living in Arizona.
“We got friendly, we were talking and he invited me and my friends to his hotel to party. I took the girls with me and we went to Diddy's hotel.”
However, as Kennedy recalls, Diddy – arrested this week on federal sex charges – When he and his two friends reached his room, he was alone there.
The now-disgraced hip hop legend answered the door in a gown while holding a bottle of champagne.
“We all knew at that point that this was going to be a one-man party,” Kennedy said.
Kennedy told the Post that the night she was lured to Diddy’s hotel room under the pretense of a fake party, she was doing cocaine with her friends, but the rapper did not participate.
Little did she know at the time that she was about to be introduced to what Diddy would later call “freak offs” — highly charged sexual performances — that have now landed him in legal trouble, with him being charged with racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking and transportation to engage in prostitution.
Kennedy said, “We were partying, doing cocaine. I never saw Diddy do cocaine. He said he only smoked weed at that time.”
Kennedy said Diddy, now 54, had bragged about bringing marijuana into the airport and said he “didn’t have to hide it,” adding that he had seen marijuana in the hotel room.
Diddy was at the peak of his fame at the time, having scored worldwide mega-hits with “I'll Be Missing You” in 1997 and “Bad Boy for Life” in 2001. He had also been linked to a deadly 1999 nightclub shooting and was a hugely successful record label boss and entrepreneur as well as a rapper.
He was dating one of the most beautiful women in the world, Jennifer Lopez.
Kennedy recalls how Combs bizarrely “started showing us videos of his girlfriends [J. Lo’s] Music videos. He was constantly telling us to watch his music videos.
“I said, ‘Oh, that’s really good.’ It felt weird, because we were in his hotel room and he was showing us videos of his girlfriend,” Kennedy said.
“This continued for some time. He invited me and my friend to his bedroom with him. He did not like the other girl [so she stayed in the living room of the suite],
“We went back to his bedroom and started having oral sex. We were all on his bed. When we were done, he was still naked and his head of security came in,” Kennedy recalled.
The Post has reached out to Combs’ team for comment.
That's when Kennedy recalled that Diddy's bodyguard allegedly “forced” him and his friends — and Diddy did nothing to stop it.
“He [the bodyguard] “He started trying to push us out the door. We thought he was going to trample us in the face and crush us,” Kennedy said. “He was very forceful. We just wanted to get out as quickly as possible.
,[The bodyguard] They came in such large numbers that we knew they had not come just to party with us.
“Maybe it was a conspiracy between them. It is [Diddy’s] Kennedy said, “Is he staying in a private bedroom in his hotel room — who has the kind of access that they can break into his hotel like that while he's having affairs with girls?”
“He [Diddy] He didn't say a word to us, he was quietly putting his clothes on while the bodyguard was trying to get us out the door. It's gang mentality – if one can't handle the job, the other takes over. It's scary.”
The troubled hip-hop legend is currently being held in jail at Brooklyn's Metropolitan Detention Center.
The indictment against Diddy alleges that he “abused, intimidated, and coerced women and others around him in order to satisfy his sexual desires, protect his reputation, and conceal his conduct.”
According to federal prosecutors, he is also accused of abusing women and forcing them to engage in so-called “freak off” performances to satisfy his sexual desires. The indictment describes the freak offs as elaborate sex performances that the disgraced hip hop mogul “arranged, directed, masturbated to, and often electronically recorded.”
The stunning 14-page indictment also accuses Diddy of running a criminal enterprise that enabled him to abuse, threaten and coerce women for more than a decade.
Diddy has pleaded not guilty and was placed on suicide watch Friday at a Brooklyn jail where he awaits trial for alleged sex crimes. A judge rejected his $50 million offer for bail.
The Post previously reported Combs’ alleged statement Freak Off Parties They were so wild they baffled a drug dealer who claimed he saw the household names having sex with each other at his East Hampton mansion.
Dealer tells The Post that Diddy opened the door to his East Hamptons mansion nothing but a dress – just as when greeting Kennedy – and led them to a back bedroom to make the cocaine deal.
“Strange things started happening. Celebrities were having sex with each other.”
“You see two people you would never think could be in a relationship with each other, they're rappers, that's what surprised me,” the dealer said.
Allegations of criminal impropriety against Combs first came to light last November, when the rapper's ex-girlfriend, R&B singer Cassie Ventura, sued him for rape and physical abuse.
Ventura's lawsuit shares details of drug-fueled “freak offs,” and in harrowing detail she says the rapper trafficked, raped, and brutally beat her from 2005 to 2018.
“After many years of silence and living in the dark, I am finally ready to tell my story, and speak out for myself and for the benefit of other women who experience violence and abuse in their relationships,” Ventura, 37, said in a statement through her lawyers at the time.
Diddy, through his attorneys, denied any wrongdoing and settled the suit less than 24 hours after it was filed.
However, the cases against him continued even after this. His legal team also denied all these allegations, but none of these cases were heard in court before his arrest.
Kennedy — who is currently not working but previously ran a nonprofit and was the founder of Lucky Puppy Animal Rescue — told the Post that Diddy did nothing to stop his “violent” bodyguard.
“We got away from that [the bodyguard] And we ran faster than he did. We probably had to go through 30 rooms before we got to the elevator. We went downstairs – I called Diddy and asked why is your friend being so violent with us? He hung up,” Kennedy recalled.
“Our idea was we were going to a party. I can see how a party could turn into a face-to-face meeting with P Diddy when you're not expecting it,” Kennedy said.
“We never thought we'd be in a room with him,” Kennedy said.
