Nothing was off-limits for Dave Chappelle as he hosted this past weekend’s episode of Saturday Night Live.

In his 17-minute monologue, the comedian joked about Sean “Diddy” Combs and the music mogul’s current legal troubles, including federal sex trafficking and racketeering charges. Diddy has pleaded not guilty to all charges.

Still, Chappelle had a lot to say about the embattled mogul.

“I’ve been in trouble in my day but let me tell you, this guy, Puffy… this guy Puffy is in an enormous amount of trouble, I don’t think I’ve ever seen anything like this,” Chappelle quipped.

He then noted that Diddy, also known as Puffy, is entangled in a RICO [Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act] case, a law created to combat organized crime.

“They’ve got this guy in a RICO case by himself!” Chappelle noted.

Later in his monologue, the comic brought up Diddy’s infamous “freak-off” sex parties. 

“My friends ask me, they say, ‘Dave, did you know anything about those freak-off parties?’ And I’d be like, ‘Nah, man, I ain’t know anything about the freak show,” he said. 

Chappelle claimed his friends seemed shocked by his answer, since he was the “only one that wasn’t at the freak-off,” which led to a hilarious reason why he was never invited. 

“And I thought about it for a minute and I said, ‘Oh my God, I’m ugly. Boy. That’s a tough way to find out,” the comedian and actor joked. 

He added, “Can you imagine finding out everyone in Hollywood had an orgy behind your back? None of y’all called me. That really hurts.”

Though Chappelle said he was “glad they didn’t call him,” because the “stories that come out about it are crazy.” 

He had a point because Diddy is dealing with more than two dozen civil lawsuits alleging sexual abuse, including some from accusers who allege they were assaulted at the mogul’s infamous parties held after award shows, including the 2000 MTV Video Music Awards. 

The Bad Boy Records founder remains jailed in Brooklyn’s Metropolitan Detention Center. He was denied bail by three different federal judges.

His trial is scheduled to begin in May 2025.
