UFC president and CEO Dana White has named Sean 'Diddy' Combs as the rudest celebrity he has ever met. During an appearance on The Katie Miller podcast, White recalled a negative interaction with the disgraced music mogul at a charity event organised by skateboarder Tony Hawk.
White explained that he attended the event with his young niece, who was a fan of Combs's music. When Combs arrived surrounded by a large security team, White encouraged his niece to approach him for a photograph. However, she quickly returned, saying she had been scared off by the security guards and did not get a picture.
'They were rude to her and scared her,' White claimed. 'That's who's listening to your f***ing s***ty music, okay? That's who's listening to this, okay? Are you f***ing kidding me? And that's how you're going to treat some girl that's a fan and wanted a picture with you?'
Combs, 56, is currently serving a four-year prison sentence after being found guilty in 2025 of two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution. He was acquitted of more serious charges, including racketeering and sex trafficking. He is appealing both his conviction and sentence, with his lawyers arguing that his recordings of sexual encounters are protected under the First Amendment as 'amateur pornography'.
Prosecutors have countered that such a claim would allow brothels to claim First Amendment protection for staged sex acts. The Independent has contacted Combs's representative for comment on White's remarks.
