A new video of Sean “Diddy” Combs has resurfaced in light of his recent misconduct scandal.
Diddy, now 54, was spotted speaking to The Ring actress Daveigh Chase, who was 12 at the time, backstage at the 2003 MTV Movie Awards. (Diddy was 33 at the time.)
“You coming to the afterparty tonight?” Diddy asked Chase, now 34, in the clip, which has been circulating on X following the music mogul’s arrest last month.
Chase coyly nodded while Diddy burst into laughter. Neither Diddy nor Chase have further addressed the interaction. Us Weekly has reached out for comment.
Decades before being indicted on sex trafficking and racketeering charges, Sean “Diddy” Combs predicted he would end up in trouble with the law. “They’re going to probably be arresting me, doing all types of crazy things just because we want to have a good time,” Diddy, now 54, told Entertainment Tonight in 1999. “Whenever you […]
During the awards show, Diddy and actor Ashton Kutcher presented Chase with the Best Villain trophy for her role as Samara in the 2002 horror film The Ring.
“I just want to say, ‘Everyone will suffer,’” Chase said in her acceptance speech, using Samara’s signature accent before Diddy handed her the golden popcorn statuette. “Thanks, MTV rocks!”

It is not known whether Chase and Diddy crossed paths at the MTV Movie Awards afterparty.
The disgraced rapper’s behaviors throughout his tenure in the limelight have recently raised eyebrows. Diddy was arrested in September on charges of sex trafficking, racketeering conspiracy and transportation to engage in prostitution.
Celebrities are weighing in following the recent arrest of Sean “Diddy” Combs. The music mogul was taken into custody in New York on September 16. The following day, a 14-page indictment alleging that Diddy “abused, threatened and coerced women and others around him” was made public. The rapper has since entered a not guilty plea […]
In a 14-page indictment, which cited Diddy’s famed parties as apparent proof of the claims, the rapper allegedly “abused, threatened and coerced women and others around him” for decades. Diddy was also accused of using the acts to fulfill “his sexual desires, protect his reputation and conceal his conduct.”
Diddy pleaded not guilty to the charges before a judge denied him bail on three separate attempts. He was remanded to the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn until his trial, which is set to begin in early 2025.
“We are disappointed with the decision to pursue what we believe is an unjust prosecution of Mr. Combs by the U.S. Attorney’s Office,” Diddy’s attorney Marc Agnifilo told Us Weekly in a statement. “Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs is a music icon, self-made entrepreneur, loving family man and proven philanthropist who has spent the last 30 years building an empire, adoring his children and working to uplift the Black community.”
Agnifilo added, “He is an imperfect person, but he is not a criminal. To his credit, Mr. Combs has been nothing but cooperative with this investigation and he voluntarily relocated to New York last week in anticipation of these charges. Please reserve your judgment until you have all the facts. These are the acts of an innocent man with nothing to hide, and he looks forward to clearing his name in court.”
Earlier this month, Diddy was also accused of sexual assault and rape by multiple individuals, including a 13-year-old girl and a 16-year-old boy. Diddy, who has consistently denied every allegation against him since 2023, has not publicly addressed the new lawsuits. Us reached out for comment.
