The Leaked Tape and Immediate Fallout
A video allegedly showing Sean “Diddy” Combs engaging in a sexual encounter with former partner Daphne Joy and adult performer Sly Diggler surfaced online in early June 2024. The clip, part of the “Freak Off” parties that were central to Combs’s 2023 prosecution, quickly circulated on social media and prompted a live-question-and-answer session at a New York screening of the documentary *Sean Combs: The Reckoning*.
Background: “Freak Off” Parties and Conviction
Combs was convicted in October 2023 on two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution, receiving a 50-month federal sentence, a $500,000 fine, and five years of supervised release. He was acquitted of racketeering and sex-trafficking charges. The “Freak Off” gatherings, described by prosecutors as organized sexual events, formed the factual basis for the conviction and are the context for the leaked footage.

| Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson | Rapper, co-parent of Sire Jackson | “We haven’t had any intimacy for 12 years. She could be out back with a dog for all I care.” |

Official Statements & Responses
Alexandria Stapleton clarified that Daphne Joy declined to appear in the documentary, countering claims that she consented to the footage. Douglas Wigdor’s statement emphasized that Combs’s prison term reflects the seriousness of the offenses linked to the “Freak Off” events.
Criticism & Opposition
50 Cent’s comments framed Daphne Joy as a non-victim and dismissed any ongoing intimacy. Daphne Joy’s own statement expressed personal regret and described her participation as a boundary-crossing attempt to satisfy her partner. Sly Diggler’s remarks about Combs’s anatomy added a layer of ridicule to the public discourse.
On-the-Ground Reports
Daphne Joy’s Threads post, quoted above, provided a first-person account of her motivations and emotional response to the leaked material.
Conflicting Rumors and Gaps
- Anatomical Rumors – Diggler’s claim that Combs’s penis measures “maybe three inches” lacks independent verification and contrasts with no official medical evidence.
- Consent Dispute – While the director states Daphne Joy declined participation, the existence of the tape suggests she was filmed without explicit consent, a point not resolved in public records.
- Yung Miami’s Involvement – No concrete evidence links her to the leaked video; her emoji response is the only public indication of awareness.
