Diddy's arrest also poses a threat to some Hollywood A-listers, who were once regular at his 'freak-off' parties. From Beyonc¨¦ to Jennifer Lopez, let's take a look at celebs who are now at the risk of cancel culture, thanks to their links to the disgraced hip-hop mogul.
Troubles for P Diddy are far from over. Once recognised as one of the most influential figures in hip-hop, the rapper's musical legacy is pretty much gone after his arrest on the charges of sex trafficking and racketeering. Following his fall from grace, Mel's Drive-In in Hollywood, known for displaying photos of stars who have dined there, has removed all traces of the disgraced rapper.

1. Beyonc¨¦
A little over a month ago, Beyonc¨¦ was regarded as one of the biggest and most respected personalities in Hollywood. That all changed after the internet found out about Bey and her husband Jay-Z's alleged links with the Coming Home rapper.
Beyonc¨¦ has been losing Instagram followers and getting canceled since Diddy's arrest.

With conspiracy theories running wild and industry figures coming forward to share the twisted tales of the music couple's crime, the tables had turned for the Renaissance hitmaker.
2. Jennifer Lopez
Record executive Suge Knight recently claimed that Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck's marriage hit rock bottom due to JLo's links with Diddy. According to him, Affleck knew that she was complicit in a crime committed by the hip-hop mogul and, thus, chose to cut ties with her.
I knew Jennifer Lopez was no good back in the 1990s. Puerto Ricans are very ashamed of her and they don't like her. Diddy probably groomed and established her career. I love Puerto Ricans however she's outright evil. pic.twitter.com/7NY4yVOBsI

JLo was also in a relationship with Diddy for two years from 1999 to 2001. On expected lines, their time together was also mired in controversies. Speaking of her relationship with Diddy, JLo once Vibe magazine, ¡°I was in a relationship with Puff where I was totally crying, crazy, and going nuts. It really took my whole life in a tailspin.¡±
3. Usher
Usher and Diddy's long-standing association since the early 1990s is no secret. As an up-and-coming star in the music business, Usher was sent to live with the music honcho Diddy in New York City at his ¡®Puffy Flavour Camp¡¯ in an attempt to learn the ropes of the industry.

Usher often jokes about his time living with Diddy in interviews, revealing he was exposed to an adult lifestyle well beyond his years. However, despite sharing a close-knit bond with Diddy growing up, Usher has maintained a deafening silence on his arrest. Scores on the internet have also bashed him for not speaking up about the rapper's crime and deleting his X history to avoid controversies.
4. Ashton Kutcher
A recent report revealed that Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher are planning to leave Hollywood and settle in Europe after being dragged into Diddy drama. Ashton may have distanced himself from Diddy in recent years, but he was once the closest pal of the hip-hop mogul.

The duo were infamous for hosting lavish, star-studded parties, particularly in Los Angeles, and they have even collaborated to promote Diddy¡¯s vodka brand, Ciroc.
5. Leonardo DiCaprio
Leonardo DiCaprio has maintained that he has not been in touch with Diddy for years, but a picture of him attending a 'freak off' party continues to drag him back to the drama. Resurfaced photos show DiCaprio laughing and smoking at Combs' party at his East Hampton house in 1998.
P Diddy with his good friend Leonardo DiCaprio, DiCaprio has donated $5,600 back in 2019 to Kamala Harris, the individual maximum for the primary and general elections.
