Overview

• Usher described his time living with Sean 'Diddy' Combs in the 1990s as seeing 'very curious things,' an experience he recounted in a 2016 interview with Howard Stern.
• The resurfacing of Usher's comments follows raids on Combs' Los Angeles and Miami homes by Homeland Security Investigations, part of an ongoing sex-trafficking investigation.
• Combs faces four civil lawsuits alleging sexual abuse or sex trafficking, which he has denied, calling the raid excessive.
• Usher was sent to live with Combs at age 14 by record executive L.A. Reid, aiming to give the young singer an 'edge' in the music industry.
• Despite witnessing 'wild' and 'curious' things, Usher credits Combs for introducing him to significant figures in hip-hop and helping launch his career.
