The Post was at the Manhattan courthouse on Thursday when the judge denied Diddy’s request for bail a third time. The embattled music mogul, 54, will remain behind bars until his May 5, 2025, trial date.
The retired heavyweight, 58, has been photographed with Diddy at his famous parties several times over the years; however, it’s to note that there is no indication he or any stars who attended Diddy’s past soirees were involved in any alleged illegal activities.
When Daily Mail told him that his name has been drudged up with Diddy, he seemed surprised. “Wait, I’m synonymous with Diddy? Well, that’s cool,” Tyson responded. “I never knew that.”
But when asked if he had anything to say, Tyson replied: “I wish him the best. In life, I wish him the best.”
Diddy was arrested and charged with three counts of racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking by force, fraud or coercion and transportation to engage in prostitution on Sept. 16. Prosecutors allege he flew sex workers across state lines and forced women into performing “freak offs” with male prostitutes.
Following the allegations, videos emerged of Diddy and his famous friends, including footage of 1998 in which he was seen joking around with Tyson before putting his hand on the champ’s leg, according to Daily Mail .
Tyson addressed their friendship in a podcast interview last year, jokingly calling him “Sugar Diddy.”
“I just know him for a long time,” he told PBD Podcast host Patrick Bet-David. “I knew him before he was Diddy and for a long time. When I first became champ I knew him.”
He also discussed partying with the mogul.
“I remember him he used to have crates when he’s at my after parties and stuff. Also when they were throwing parties,” Tyson shared. When Bet-David said that “so many people in music and Hollywood feared this guy ‘Diddy’, as if he’s untouchable,” the boxer responded, “Oh sugar Diddy.”
