New video has surfaced of Sean Diddy Combs telling guests at one of his legendary White Parties in the Hamptons that it was time for the kids to go home and the real partying to begin.
In footage obtained exclusively by DailyMail.com, Diddy, 54, stands, champagne glass in hand, like a dictator on his balcony as he calls in the quid pro quo for the hospitality so far extended.
We fed you all, we gave you drinks now its time to enjoy life, he says. This is a celebration of life. This is the real White Party.
Kids have an hour left [then] this thing turns into something that when you get older, this is something yall gonna want to come to… so lets just start to get our groove on, put the kids away. Its all good.
All right DJ lets hit it. Lets do it.

Its impossible to hear his words today without catching in them a sinister overture to the sort of debauchery which now sees the rapper charged with a slew of heinous crimes and held without bail on suicide watch in Brooklyns Metropolitan Detention Center.
Diddys name will be forever tarnished by the charges he now faces of sexual assault and violence, kidnap, arson, and possession of firearms – and the revelations of sexual freak offs which allegedly lasted days and saw participants – often sex workers – forced to rehydrate via an IVF drip in their aftermath.
But back in the day, before he stood accused of running a criminal enterprise and was deemed a threat to society and justice, celebrities clamored for an invite to Diddys era-defining White Parties held at his East Hampton home between 1998 and 2009.
Images obtained exclusively by DailyMail.com show the glittering guest list – a whos who of movie and music industry fame – all of whom have remained conspicuously silent since the music moguls arrest in New York earlier this week.

Among them is Jennifer Lopez who famously dated Diddy between 1999 and 2001 and went to more than one of the parties that he instituted to cement his reputation as a latter-day Gatsby and industry mover and shaker.
In pictures she is cozying up with her then-beau, all smiles and kisses for the man now charged as a serial predator.
Paris Hilton, too, was a regular guest who attended the first party, held on September 7, 1998, that she described as iconic.
Photos of the gatherings are like a time capsule of late nineties, early noughties celebrity. Howard Stern, Kelly Osbourne, Aretha Franklin, Leonardo di Caprio, Martha Stewart, Jay-Z and Beyonce, Mariah Carey and husband Nick Cannon, it couple Tommy Lee and Pamela Anderson, a young Kim Kardashian… anybody who was anybody was there, and proudly so.
Poignantly, Diddys ex, Kim Porter, mother of three of Diddys children, who died in 2018 aged 47 is also there. In some shots she sits next to Diddy, smiling with their twins DLila and Jesse James Combs on her lap.
There is no hint in her demeanor and appearance of the violent abuse she suffered at Diddys hands, which is exposed in a new memoir, In Kims Words, which published alleged entries from journals Porter left behind.

Diddy was a generous host at his wild parties that he held annually from 1998 to 2009
And, though there is no suggestion that the celebrities who attended the parties were involved in any of Diddys illegal activities, once the kids went home, things got wild.

According to former music industry insider Tom Swoope, who has recounted his own memories of surviving Diddys White Parties on his YouTube channel, First Off In My Opinion: Story Time, the parties were separated into tiers of access.
There was general admission then a series of tiers ending with entrance to the inner sanctum where the real partying went on and allegedly included sexually humiliating male and female guests on the promise of record deals or money.
Swoope and others have spoken about the proliferation of drugs that were present – ecstasy, cocaine – being snorted off all sorts of surfaces including the bodies of guests.

As an industry ingenue when he first attended the party, Swoope describes an eye-popping reality.
Speaking to Oprah in 2006, Diddy told her that the intention behind the first White Party was to integrate hip-hop into the echelons of the mega-rich, to find an intersection of both worlds.
He said, I wanted to strip away everyones image and put us all in the same color, and on the same level.
Swoope recalled it as more of a power trip for the rapper.
At one point, finding himself in the same room as Diddy, Swoope alleges that Diddy told a young artist to perform a sex act on his bodyguard in return for $100,000 and a record deal, before claiming it was a joke when the young man was on the cusp of submitting.

Swoope recalls Diddy wielding his power with words that echo the threat contained in allegations in the lengthy criminal complaint unsealed on Tuesday.
Chillingly, Swoope claimed Diddy told him, I can make anybody do anything because this life is what they want, and I got the keys to the castle.
For his part, Swoope said he left the party thinking, If this is what goes on behind the curtain and youre all comfortable with this… nah I dont want this life.
There were so many celebrities there who were cool with who he was and what he did to entertain them. Its not isolated, he added.
You all need to think of everybody when you think of him and the access and amount of people who were there.
