A SINGER who hung out with Sean Combs in the 1990s as a teen has further lifted the lid on his infamous parties after she was left terrified and trying to escape.
Artist Good Fridae says she first met the now disgraced star at an autograph signing at a record store in Toronto to promote his 1999 album Forever.
In an exclusive interview with The U.S. Sun, Fridae said she sang for Combs, then known as Puff Daddy and later Diddy, before being invited to join a drug-fueled sex party in his five-star hotel suite with a girlfriend.
Fridae claimed she told the rapper and his security they were only 16, the legal age of consent in Ontario, Canada, although the legal drinking age was and remains 19.
She said they didn’t care about their age, and invited them to join adults who were openly having sex at the bash, which also had a second VIP “freak-off” room guarded by security.
Combs, now 54, remains behind bars in New York awaiting trial after being charged with racketeering, sex trafficking, and transportation to engage in prostitution.
A federal indictment alleges victims were often forced to take part in his “freak-off” orgies and spent days recovering with IV drips, while 1,000 bottles of baby oil were discovered at his properties,
Fridae told The U.S. Sun, “There was a lot of sex going on, there wasn’t anyone underage, but a lot of dancers and hired people that were there.
“None of the artists that I saw were engaged in those activities, but there were a lot of NBA players and a lot of executives and whatnot with the girls.”
She claimed guests were having sex, “in chairs, in corners, in bathrooms, anywhere they could,” adding that she ran out of the hotel after being told to wait for access for the second, private freak-off party.
“There was pills and stuff, I knew that there was [ecstasy] there and snow … cocaine, in little baggies in a corner, they were on these like coasters in sections,” she said.
“People were just picking them up and taking them, people were offering me different things. I was saying no.
“There were different sections, and then the drink area. There was no bartender. You could make your own drink, or you could have someone pour it for you, like one of the security guards.
“There were more men than women, everyone was drinking or doing lines of coke except for me and a few other artists.
“I wanted to drink and have a good time like my friend and the other girls but I was too paranoid and needed to stay alert just in case I had to fight off one of the guys.”
ENCOUNTER WITH COMBS
Fridae said she initially felt uneasy after meeting Combs, who complimented her eyes and skin and encouraged her to ditch her friend, who later got lost in the crowd at the hotel.
At the autograph signing, she said she and her friend got theirs first after Combs was two hours late. And that’s when the night took a turn.
“My friend asked him what hotel he was staying at, he was like, ‘Actually, I’m having a party, you girls should come.’
“I told him, ‘Um, we don’t have our IDs, we’re underage.’ He was like, ‘Oh, I don’t check IDs at my party.’
“And then he’s said, ‘He’s gonna give you details.’ He pointed to one of his security guards to give us his details so we could get out of the way so the others could get their autographs.

“When I first initially met him, I didn’t like his energy. There was something about his energy, to me, that was off.
“I looked at my friend and she was all for it, I told her I didn’t think it was a good idea and didn’t want to go to the party, but she begged me and said there were probably more people that could help us get our big break,” she said.
“His security guards were trying to convince me to go as well.
“I finally agreed and off we went into the elevator to the party floor. Security guard was telling us about the vastness of the party and that there were two different parties and we were only invited to the one right now and would be asked to join the other party later.
“[Combs] wasn’t even there when we got there, when we first went into the party.”
But when he did arrive and she finally spoke to him again, she said, “He was like, ‘Yeah, you need to ditch your friend, she sucks.’ She was right there when he said this.”
But Fridae, who didn’t drink or use drugs, then lost her pal and went to mingle and talk to some NBA players and well-known artists, adding, “I’m sure that wasn’t their last Diddy party.”
She said Combs and a security guard commented on her looks.
Combs “was creepy,” she said. “He was like, ‘You have beautiful green eyes, your complexion’s very nice.’ And then he touched my cheek. I was [creeped out].
“One of the security guards did the same thing, he kept calling me a dime, he was like, ‘You’re a dime, you’re a dime.’
She claims he started rushing down the corridor in the hotel and she feared what would happen.
“He just looked at me angry, kind of like, ‘I will eventually get you’. That kind of vibe, and it scared me,” she said.
She felt she was in trouble for trying to leave and pressed the evelator button, with the door opening just in time with the hotel manager and staff inside.
Fridae alleges they told Combs to turn down the music because guests were complaining. Then they asked her if she was okay.
“I like, ‘Oh my God, thank you, Lord’. And I ran into the elevator.”
She claims she hid and went to the lobby where she managed to reach her friend.
‘OPEN SECRET’
Fridae claimed his behavior was “an open secret in the industry” and everyone felt it was only a matter of time before he got caught.
He has now pleaded not guilty to all charges.
She said she was shocked but not surprised to hear of the allegations, which first came to light when his ex-girlfriend, Cassie Ventura, sued for rape and abuse last November.
He denied all wrongdoing, but eventually settled the suit before a bombshell video leaked from a hotel surviellence camera showing him kicking and dragging her down a hotel hallway.
“Cassie was the catalyst for the sealing of Diddy’s fate. She was the catalyst and I’m so greatful she did come out,” Fridae said.
“I should have said something, I should have something to the hotel [staff]. But I was 16 years old and that was a huge celebrity, everyone was talking about that party for months after.”
