'Sugar Diddy': Mike Tyson shows support for Diddy amid sex trafficking scandal

Mike Tyson has spoken out on the

Diddy

drama. During an interview with Daily Mail, he expressed best wishes for his longtime friend Sean 'Diddy' Combs.
Tyson and Diddy have been friends for decades, and the duo have been often seen together in high-profile events. Like many A-listers, Tyson’s name has also been linked with the problematic Bad Boy Records CEO, after he was arrested on charges of

racketeering

and

sex trafficking

.

Tyson has also been seen at Diddy’s infamous parties, however, it remains unclear whether he or any other stars who attended Diddy’s past soirees were involved in any alleged illegal activities.
When Daily Mail informed him that his name was being linked to the Diddy drama, the retired heavyweight 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.”
He also discussed his partying days with music mogul,
Tyson discussed their friendship in a podcast interview last year, jokingly calling him "Sugar Diddy."
“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.”

The judge denied Diddy’s bail request for the third time during a hearing at the Manhattan courthouse on Thursday. The troubled music mogul, 54, has been incarcerated at Brooklyn’s Metropolitan Detention Center since September 17 and will remain there until his trial date on May 5, 2025.
Diddy was arrested on September 16 and is currently facing charges of racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking, and transportation for prostitution. Over 120 alleged victims, including ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura, have come forward, but Diddy pleads not guilty.
