Diddy Creepily Describes His Alleged “Freak Offs” In Resurfaced Interview Clip

September 21, 2024 by newhiphopnews

With every passing day since Diddy’s arrest on September 16, we continue to learn increasingly more disturbing information. From alleged text messages from some of his victims, to the supposed items that were taken during the home raids, every new chunk of evidence seems to dig a deeper hole for the embattled mogul. People on the internet are even finding potentially incriminating quotes and clips. What we are trying to say is that there is so much working against the Bad Boy boss right now and it could all lead to a life in solitary confinement. One of those things are the alleged “Freak Off” parties that Diddy threw.

These are one of the most damning allegations for many reasons but hearing him talk about them all but confirms that they were real. An X (formerly Twitter) user by the name of TaraBull, unearthed a 2002 interview clip with former late night show host Conan O’Brien. Below you can hear Diddy describe the essential things that he has at these alleged “Freak Offs”. “We need alcohol… alcohols”, he begins. Conan then recaps with a quick summary before his guest can go on, “You need the ladies, you need the booze”. Diddy then continues, “You need some water… a lot of ladies drink water at parties so if you don’t have what they need then they gon’ leave… gotta keep ’em there”.

Not A Good Look For Diddy Right Now

In 2002 Sean “P. Diddy” Combs explained to Conan O’Brien his “Freakouts” – Including seducing women with liquor – Making sure bedroom doors on them were always locked while restricting air conditioning in their rooms while claiming “It depends on the way you look at it”

Then, things get increasingly more spine-tingling, and not in a good way. “You need locks on the doors”, he adds as the then oblivious audience laughs. However, to Conan’s credit he did question the requirement of locks. “It is sounding kind of dangerous now”. But Diddy downplays it as “a little kinky”. Then, he goes on, “Check it out, you need a lot of heat… you don’t have no air conditioning… Heat affects the alcohol, it also makes everybody get a little more comfortable and loose. It builds up a nice little sweat”. Conan then checks him again, pointing out that it sounds “disgusting”. But once again, Diddy petrifyingly looks at it as not a big deal at all. “Depends on the way you look at it”, he says as the people burst into laughter again. Overall, the clip is just one minute, but it feels like an hour based on the content of it.

What are your thoughts on this clip of Diddy appearing to explain his “Freak Offs”? How disturbing is this given his current situation? Do you think any of these old videos could be used as evidence against him in court? We would like to hear what you have to say, so leave your thoughts in the comments. Additionally, always keep it locked in with HNHH for all of the latest news surrounding Diddy. Finally, stay with us for everything else going on in the music world.

Conan O’Brien Net Worth 2024: Updated Wealth of the TV Host

June 4, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Conan O’Brien, a name synonymous with late-night comedy, has been a significant figure in the entertainment industry for decades. As of 2024, his net worth stands at an impressive $200 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth. But how did he amass such wealth, and what are the key milestones in his career? Let’s delve into the journey of this iconic TV host.

Born on April 18, 1963, in Brookline, Massachusetts, Conan Christopher O’Brien’s early life was marked by academic excellence. He graduated as valedictorian from Brookline High School in 1981 and later pursued History and Literature at Harvard University, graduating in 1985.

His foray into the entertainment world began in Los Angeles, where he joined the writing staff of HBO’s Not Necessarily The News. However, it was his stint with Saturday Night Live (SNL) from 1988 to 1991 that truly put him on the map. During this period, he even bagged an Emmy Award for Outstanding Writing in a Comedy or Variety Series.

From SNL To The Simpsons

After leaving SNL, Conan was presented with a golden opportunity to write for the animated sitcom The Simpsons. From 1991 to 1993, he contributed to some of the series’ most beloved episodes, such as “Marge vs. the Monorail” and “Homer Goes to College.”

The Late Night Era

In 1993, Conan’s career took a significant turn when he was chosen as the host for Late Night. Despite initial challenges and criticisms, the show eventually found its footing and became a staple for late-night comedy enthusiasts. By 2005, it was drawing an average audience of 2.5 million viewers.

The NBC Settlement And Beyond

Conan’s journey with NBC was not without its challenges. After taking over The Tonight Show from Jay Leno in 2009, he faced a series of events that led to what is now known as the “Tonight Show conflict.” Eventually, Conan left NBC with a reported settlement of $32.5 million.

However, Conan’s spirit remained undeterred. He embarked on a 30-city live tour in 2010 and later announced his new show on TBS, simply titled Conan. This show ran until June 2021, with Conan earning a salary of $10 million per year.

Diversifying Ventures: Team Coco And Podcasting

In the aftermath of his departure from NBC, Conan launched Team Coco, a production company that owned the rights to his show. This venture allowed him to post clips from his TBS show on platforms like YouTube, generating significant revenue.

Moreover, in November 2018, Team Coco introduced the podcast Conan O’Brien Needs A Friend. This podcast, along with others under the Team Coco banner, garnered immense popularity. By mid-2022, the podcast network was racking up 200 million downloads annually. This success culminated in May 2022 when Conan sold Team Coco to SiriusXM for a whopping $150 million.

Personal Life And Real Estate Ventures

On the personal front, Conan met Elizabeth Ann “Liza” Powel in 2000, and the couple tied the knot in 2002. They are blessed with two children. Conan’s real estate portfolio is equally impressive. He has owned properties in New York City, Los Angeles, and even a beachfront home in Carpinteria, California. In 2022, he sold his Carpinteria home for $16.5 million.

Conclusion

Conan O’Brien’s net worth of $200 million in 2024 is a testament to his talent, perseverance, and ability to adapt to the ever-changing entertainment landscape. From his early days in SNL to his recent success in podcasting, Conan’s journey is an inspiration for many in the industry.

Top 5 Celebrity Cameos In “Curb Your Enthusiasm”

April 18, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Curb Your Enthusiasm recently concluded its 12th and final season to rave reviews. The series, which has aired on HBO for over 20 years, centers on a fictionalized life of Seinfeld creator Larry David, as he navigates the unnerving socialscape of wealthy actors, producers, and other LA insiders. As the show goes on, Larry offers a wide array of neurotic observations about the world around him, resulting in several hilarious disagreements with his coterie of associates. The show touts some of the most memorable celebrity cameos in television history, with Lin Manuel Miranda, Shaquille O’Neal, the Seinfeld cast, and many others joining in the nonstop chaos that engulfs Larry David’s social life. Without further ado, let’s look at some of the best celebrity cameos to appear in Curb Your Enthusiasm.

5. Conan O’Brien

Conan O’Brien is a late addition to the Curb Your Enthusiasm universe, as he made his first and only appearance during the final season of the show. Despite his eleventh-hour cameo, O’Brien shines in the role, as a fictionalized version of himself, who stonewalls Larry for failing to receive the proper “Conan clearance.” Conan has a reputation within the industry for being an affable and approachable star, so his cold, uninterested demeanor in Curb plays completely against what he’s known for in the funniest way possible. Conan recently discussed his appearance on the show with Larry David during an episode of his podcast Conan O’Brien Needs A Friend, where the pair shared many hearty laughs. Obviously, the real-life Larry David has more than enough Conan clearance to impose upon the long-time talk show host, even for big favors like borrowing his car.

4. Elizabeth Banks

Elizabeth Banks joined Curb Your Enthusiasm for a single episode back in 2017 titled “A Disturbance In The Kitchen.” Banks becomes highly attracted to Larry after he becomes the recipient of a Fatwa from the Ayatollah, which makes him seem like a badass in the face of certain danger. While many of Larry’s friends and associates express shock at the bald and elderly protagonist courting such a beautiful and well-recognized actress, their partnership ultimately falls apart due to Banks’ inability to improvise. Following a series of misunderstandings with a local police officer, Larry and Elizabeth find themselves backed into the kitchen of a local eatery, causing a major disturbance in the kitchen.

3. Ricky Gervais

Ricky Gervais is absolutely hilarious in his season 8 appearance, serving as the comedic foil to Larry at every turn. During a dinner, Gervais outdoes Larry at nearly every turn, criticizes the production quality of Seinfeld, and later steals Larry’s girlfriend, only to end up looking like a fool in front of her. While many of Larry’s interactions on Curb Your Enthusiasm see Larry constantly stepping on everybody else’s toes, Ricky Gervais is one of the few characters that gives Larry a taste of his own medicine, while dropping a few side-splitting comments shading the comedian along the way.

2. Jon Hamm

In a shocking antithesis to Ricky Gervais’ appearance, Jon Hamm gets along with Larry perfectly. In preparation for his role as a “Larry David type” in a film, Hamm decides to shadow Larry’s every move for a few days to capture his mannerisms. Instead, Jon Hamm winds up taking on Larry’s personality entirely, even when he isn’t around, leading Richard Lewis to remark “Oh my god… There’s two Larry Davids. Holy S***!” Later on in the season 10 episode, Jon Hamm is thrown out of a dinner party alongside Larry, prompting the party’s host to refer to him as “Larry David Jr.”

Hamm reprised his role in the following season, only to tell Larry that the movie never came to fruition, after test audiences called his character “repugnant.” Jon Hamm has one of the funniest cameos in the entire show, and would surely top our list if it weren’t for one undeniable all-time favorite.

1. Michael J. Fox

Michael J. Fox’s cameo earns the title of the single greatest in Curb Your Enthusiasm history, with even the episode named after him. The season 8 finale “Larry Vs. Michael J. Fox” was long considered to be the show’s finale, as Curb went on hiatus between 2011 and 2018. In this episode, Larry moves into a New York apartment, just beneath Fox, only to become perturbed by a series of loud banging and clomping noises from upstairs.

When he confronts Michael J. Fox about the noise, the beloved Back To The Future actor explains that his Parkinson’s disease diagnosis causes him to shake and clomp, after offering Larry a soda, which explodes from being shaken up. Larry inquires as to whether the shaking was an intentional “Larry shake” or simply a “Parkinson’s shake,” and the pair continue to wage social warfare through several awkward misunderstandings.

Michael J. Fox’s ability to joke about his real-life disease is truly inspiring and showcases a genuine and affable side of him that could only be achieved on Curb Your Enthusiasm. Like Jon Hamm, Fox eventually returns in a future episode, wherein he admits that he embellished his Parkinson’s shakes to intentionally antagonize Larry.

Ed Sheeran Shares His Hilarious Experiences Smoking With Snoop Dogg

October 4, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Snoop Dogg is probably the most notorious stoner in all of music. Dozens of musicians and celebrities have stories of finding themselves surprisingly faded while hanging out with the rapper. The latest was Ed Sheeran, who stopped by Conan O’Brien’s podcast to share his experiences. The singer caught up with Snoop backstage at a show in Melbourne after Russel Crowe reportedly introduced the pair. Clearly, Sheeran who is admittedly not much of a smoker himself, wasn’t prepared for what he was stepping into.

“I don’t really smoke at all. I was in the dressing room and they’re just [smoking] like blunt for blunt for blunt for blunt,” Ed Sheeran explains on the podcast. From that point, it starts to get pretty hilarious for him. “I was like, I guess at some point during the night, I have to, just to say I smoked with Snoop Dogg… So I have a bit and I was like, ‘I don’t feel too bad, this is good.’ Then I have a bit more, and then I have a bit more, and then I have a bit more… I just remember looking at him and being like, ‘I can’t see right now.’” Listen to the entire podcast below.

Ed Sheeran Couldn’t See After Smoking With Snoop Dogg

Ed Sheeran got some difficult news recently. A lawsuit over his song “Thinking Out Loud” infringing on copyright for its similarities to a Marvin Gaye track was thrown out a few weeks ago. But now it seems like the lawsuit has been restarted with new plaintiffs. They made an appeal that if accepted could mean years more legal trouble for Sheeran.

Sheeran has already released two new albums this year. He led off the year with –back in May. And just over the weekend he followed it up with an entire second new album Autumn Variations. What do you think of Ed Sheeran’s story about smoking with Snoop Dogg in Melbourne? Let us know in the comment section below.

Questlove Has An Amazingly Star-Studded Roster Of Celebrities He Makes Playlists For And Conan O’Brien Wants In

September 7, 2023 by newhiphopnews

The podcast is called Conan O’Brien Needs A Friend, but after welcoming Questlove for the September 4 episode, Conan O’Brien needs a playlist.

Questlove is known for making playlists for his friends. His friends, as O’Brien put it, just so happen to be “some of the most famous people in the world.” Questlove said the hobby “started with The Obamas” and admitted to some slight trolling after O’Brien asked, “Do you ever throw something in there — like the theme from Gilligan’s Island — just something that’s gonna freak [former US President Barack Obama] out?”

“I do that all the time,” Questlove said. “He doesn’t question much. There’s a few people who are like, ‘Did you really mean to put this version of that song on there?’ I will lightly troll. I’m not trying to troll more than I’m just trying to expand the palette.”

The Roots legend continued, “Because, I think, oftentimes when it comes to streaming, there are billions of songs out there, but we’re only gonna go to the 32 songs that we know. And I’m willing to do the musical, metaphorical equivalent of the Shawshank sh*t crawl. I go through about 500 songs a week, of which maybe seven are cool.”

Questlove then explained his Blue Ivy-related reasoning behind adding Beyoncé and Jay-Z to the group — even though it seems to me that the only reason he’d need is that they are, ahem, BEYONCÉ AND JAY-Z — and shared that Bill Hader, Spike Lee, Martha Stewart, Kenan Thompson, and Norah Jones are also among recipients of curated Questlove playlists.

“I text 700 times a month to [this] list of people,” Questlove said, handing his phone to a very impressed O’Brien. He asked O’Brien if he’d want to be added to the list, which feels like a rhetorical question.

Questlove Shared When He Realized The Roots Were ‘Not Friends’ Anymore And How Jimmy Fallon Fixed It

September 6, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Conan O’Brien gets the most out of his guests on the Conan O’Brien Needs A Friend podcast. He bonded with Japanese Breakfast over her Coachella set. Chris Martin explained why Bruce Springsteen is to blame for his decision to stop eat dinner. Billie Eilish shared “heartbreaking” advice she once received from her idol-turned-friend Justin Bieber. And now, Questlove has spilled some tea about The Roots.

Questlove was O’Brien’s guest for the September 4 episode of the podcast, and their hour-plus conversation included insight into how Jimmy Fallon helped piece The Roots back together again.

Questlove explained that personal and professional responsibilities were stretching The Roots thin around 2009, so they wished “a Celine Dion situation would happen,” meaning a stable residency. Their version of that was joining up with Fallon, first on Late Night With Jimmy Fallon and then as the in-house band on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, which he said “is what we needed to actually bond and be friends again.”

The Grammy and Oscar winner then shared a story involving the Red Hot Chili Peppers around 2006 that had previously made him realize that he was no longer friends with his longtime bandmates

“We’re on tour with the Chili Peppers, and it’s a European tour. And they’re playing, like, soccer — I’m sorry, post-[Ted] Lasso, football stadiums,” he said. “You know, it’s like 80,000 to 120,000 [people] a night. Every three to four songs, those guys get into sort of a football magic circle huddle. By the fourth time they do this, I’m thinking like, ‘Oh, they’re gonna call an audible and change up the setlist.’ And then, I had the setlist in my hand, I’m like, Wait, they didn’t change anything. … Why do they keep having these little meetings every five songs, and nothin’ changes from what I know the show to be?”

He continued, “I see Flea in catering, and I’m like, ‘Dude, what are you guys talking about when you go into that huddle?’ And Flea is like, ‘Yo, man, it’s like, I don’t know, man. We’re just so full of gratitude.’”

While Questlove was initially “dismissive” of Flea’s reasoning, his manager put it into perspective: The Red Hot Chili Peppers “actually” liked each other, and The Roots has unknowingly transitioned from being friends to “just business partners” around 2006 or ’07.

“I realized, Ah, sh*t. We’re really not friends. We’re just nine strangers that just play the same songs every night, and that’s it,” Questlove said. “What wound up happening at Fallon is Jimmy has a way of disarming you. At least for the first six years, we were 13-year-olds in adults’ bodies, we could do silly things and not feel like we’re gonna lose our street cred because we’re doing silly sh*t.”

At one point, Questlove said, Fallon “talked The Roots into an eight-man human pyramid,” which perfectly illustrated how crucial Fallon would be to reconnecting them with each other and their individual humanity.

Conan O’Brien Hilariously Accepts An Apology From BTS’ J-Hope For Getting His Name Wrong

May 7, 2021 by newhiphopnews

Over the past few days, Conan O’Brien and BTS have found themselves in a bit of a situation. A few days ago, clip from a South Korean variety show surfaced, in which BTS’ J-Hope misidentified O’Brien as “Curtain” before he and his bandmates realized the error and had a laugh about it. O’Brien featured the clip on Conan and playfully got upset with the group. Now, the saga continues: Today, J-hope offered an apology to O’Brien, which he has accepted.

Taking to the official BTS Twitter account, J-Hope wrote, “Sorry,,,,, Curtain [kissing face emojis] @ConanOBrien.” He then used a subsequent tweet to tack on a selfie of himself pouting his lips. O’Brien responded with humor, of course, replying, “In Hobi’s defense, Curtain makes about as much sense as being named Conan.”

(“Hobi,” by the way, is J-Hope’s nickname.)

Sorry,,,,, Curtain@ConanOBrien

O’Brien made it clear on his show that there were no hard feelings about the mishap, as he said through laughter, “I’ll get you, BTS. Oh I’ll get you good. And by that, I mean I’ll silently resent you. I have no power to do anything to you. You’re going to go on to have huge success. I’m very old and on the way out and you guys are pretty much running the world. So when I say I’ll get you, I just mean I’m gonna stew in my own juices for quite a long time, and you’ll be vastly unaware.”
