Diddy's parties have been the subject of various civil lawsuits alleging misconduct, and is at the center of his federal case.

As the boss of Bad Boy Records, Diddy skyrocketed to the top of the celebrity food chain and hosted a lot of lavish events to show that off. Of course, now those parties are under scrutiny thanks to his civil lawsuits and federal trial, but not all of them face the same extremity of allegations. For example, TMZ recently obtained reported footage of Sean Combs' 2009 New Year's Eve party in Miami, which hosted stars like Drake, DJ Khaled, Rick Ross, Chris Brown, Busta Rhymes, Fabolous, and many more. You can see the videos in question by clicking on the "Via" link down below.

Furthermore, in the footage, you can see Diddy at a large mansion with a pool in the backyard, chatting to his guests over the speakers and keeping the party lively. Nothing in the clips really suggests any foul play, but many fans will obviously express skepticism over these resurfaced videos. Diddy's alleged crimes and legal troubles casted a dark shadow over pretty much everything he did in the past. While that's an easy way out, we have to scrutinize and go case-by-case to avoid any misinformation or mischaracterizations.

This follows some other recent comments about Diddy parties, namely from Amber Rose during her Club Shay Shay interview. "I've been to every Puff party, I've been to every White Party since 2009," she claimed. "I'm going to be very, very transparent on this show. [...] If these freak-offs are happening, it's on a completely different day. Every time I was there, Puff was there the whole time. [...] He abused Cassie, we all saw the video. But as far as the freak-offs, I don't know about that."

Meanwhile, Diddy's still trying to turn his case around, but prosecutors aren't budging. They recently eviscerated his claim that race had something to do with his arrest and persecution, pointing out the inaccuracies in his comparisons to other incarcerated figures booked on similar charges. But then again, a lot of people are expressing more skepticism when it comes to the criminal trial. So we'll see what happens once things actually heat up on May 5 of this year.
