While living with Sean “Diddy” Combs, R&B pop star Usher said that he “went there to see the lifestyle — and I saw it.”

After raids on Combs’ homes earlier this month, an interview from 2016 with Usher and Howard Stern on The Howard Stern Show has resurfaced.

In the interview, Usher speaks on the year that he spent living with Combs. He was 13 years old at the time.

Combs was the founder of Bad Boys Records and there have been claims of “very curious things” had happened at his L.A. and Miami residences over the years.

On March 25, law enforcement including Homeland Security and federal agents raided his homes after two lawsuits against him made sex-trafficking allegations.

In 2016, Usher commented on his time with Diddy saying it was “pretty crazy” and that he didn’t, “know if I could indulge and understand what I was even looking at. It was pretty wild.”

He also name-dropped some other A-List names who were hanging around him and Combs at the time including Mary J. Blige, Biggie Smalls and Lil Kim. He said that they were staying up into the late hours of the night partying.

He stated, “I can remember Outkast making their first records and being able to hear Rico [Wade] work on these songs, literally sleeping in this man’s living room, being in the dungeon, just kind of being around and just trying to figure out who’s who.”

He then went into detail on some of the things that he saw while living there, “Sex is so hot in the industry, man,” he recalled. “There was always girls around. You’d open a door and see somebody doing it, or several people in a room having an orgy. You never knew what was going to happen.”

Combs has denied all charges and his lawyers called the raid a “witch hunt” amidst the sex trafficking investigation.
