Sean “Diddy” Combs’ birthday parties used to be an A-list affair.
Prior to his recent arrest, the rapper threw star-studded bashes to celebrate his Nov. 4 milestone with celebrities from all corners of Hollywood.
The embattled music mogul, 54, went all out for the occasion, with the festivities including extravagant cakes and red carpet entrances.
Combs was even carried into his 33rd birthday party on a gold palanquin in 2002.
That year, Britney Spears, Ivana Trump and Janet Jackson were present, posing for pictures with the guest of honor.
When Combs turned 35 two years later, Jay-Z, Jamie Foxx, Paris Hilton, Nicole Richie and Mariah Carey were photographed helping him celebrate.
For his 50th, the Grammy winner partied with multiple members of the Kardashian family, as well as Pharrell, Kate Beckinsale and Naomi Campbell.
Photos of the star-studded events have resurfaced in the wake of Combs being taken into custody earlier this month.
The Revolt founder was arrested in New York City, six months after Homeland Security raided his homes in Miami and Los Angeles.
During the March raids, federal agents uncovered 1,000 bottles of baby oil, believed to be used as lubricant in Combs’ infamous “freak-off” parties.
On Sept. 17, Combs was charged with racketeering conspiracy; sex trafficking by force, fraud or coercion; and transportation to engage in prostitution — to which he pleaded not guilty.
While he is being held without bail, Combs’ lawyer, Marc Agnifilo, told Page Six that his client is an “imperfect person” but not a criminal.
Combs is also currently facing multiple sexual assault lawsuits but has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing.
As his legal troubles play out in the public eye, other A-listers have been called out for partying with him over the years.
Comedian Katt Williams issued a warning via Instagram last week, telling his followers that “Diddy [is] about to snitch on everybody.”
