A clip of Sean Diddy Combs telling Conan OBrien how his lackeys would prepare the sexy in hotel rooms and discussing his alleged butler Fonzworth Bentley has resurfaced after two decades.
A clip of Sean Diddy Combs telling Conan OBrien how his lackeys would prepare the sexy in hotel rooms and discussing his alleged butler Fonzworth Bentley has resurfaced after two decades.
The disgraced music artist, 54, was arrested on Monday in New York amid a sex trafficking probe and is currently being held at Brooklyns Metropolitan Detention Center.
The star - who was denied bail by a judge - was recently placed on suicide watch following his indictment for sex trafficking, racketeering and transportation to engage in prostitution.
In the interview from September 2004, the TV host and comedian quizzed the rapper on his hotel antics, asking him if it was true that he would send in someone ahead of his stay to prepare the sexy for him.
In a resurfaced clip from 2004, Combs discussed preparing the sexy in hotel roos ahead of his stays and his butler Fonzworth Bentley with Conan OBrien

Bentley went on to commentate for Access Hollywood, with Combs boasting he even made an appearance in a Kanye West music video. Pictured: Bentley holding an umbrella over Combs in St Tropez, France, in July 2002
Combs was described as the head of a criminal enterprise engaged in or attempting to engage in activities including sex trafficking, forced labor, interstate transportation for purposes of prostitution, drug offenses, kidnapping, arson, bribery and obstruction of justice, in his indictment
Combs admitted: When I walk in I definitely take pride in being the originator of the preparation of the sexy.
He went on to explain how he liked candles, tuberose, lilies, white orchids, roses, and his baths at the right temperature as he likes his room to be sexy.
OBrien also asked the music mogul about his former butler, Fonzworth Bentley, who was famously pictured holding an umbrella over Combs head - even though it was not raining.
The rapper claimed he was an entrepreneur who moved onto bigger and better things - adding that he was executively producing a show for him called My Crew on MTV.

When OBrien asked the now-disgraced musician if there was an opening for a new butler, Combs responded and said: Im actually looking for a white man with an accent and a lot of knowledge and service and fine wines and sexy.
The bizarre resurfaced clips comes after Combs was seen making a joke about having locks on the doors to prevent women from leaving parties in another OBrien interview - from 22 years ago.
In the chilling 2002 clip, while giving tips on how to put on a killer party, Combs said, This is what you need to do. Women. Beautiful women, of course. Beautiful men for the ladies, of course.
He continued to give a checklist to throw a bash, such as needing alcohols and some water.
When Conan questioned why water was on the list, Diddy said, I dont know if guys have noticed this, like, a lot of ladies drink water at parties. They just, you know, so if you dont have what they need, theyre gonna leave.
Gotta keep them there, he continued. You need locks on the doors.
Diddy explained how he liked candles, tuberose, lilies, white orchids, roses, and his baths at the right temperature as he likes his room to be sexy
Upon hearing the comment, OBrien paused and then responded with, Okay, this is sounding kind of dangerous now.
Diddy said, Its a little kinky, and then jumped back into giving his tips to Conan and the live audience.
You need a lot of heat. Dont have no air conditioning. Heat affects the alcohol and you know, everybody also gets a little more comfortable and loose and builds up a nice little sweat.
Conan cut in to offer his thoughts on the advice and expressed to Diddy, That just sounds disgusting.
To finish off his list, Sean said that you need good music and you need me, of course.
Combs was sensationally arrested at Park Hyatt Hotel in New York City last week and has since been charged with sex trafficking and transportation to engage in prostitution - all of which he pleaded not guilty to in a Manhattan court on September 17.
In the indictment against Diddy that was unsealed this week, it was claimed that federal raids on his Miami and Los Angeles mansions led to the discovery of over 1,000 bottles of baby oil and lubricant.
It is alleged that the rapper would coerce and manipulate victims into taking part in days-long sexual performances, which he dubbed freak offs.

Diddys associates would allegedly ply victims with drugs to keep them compliant and would make threats against anyone refusing to engage, in claims similar to those made in a civil lawsuit brought by Diddys ex-girlfriend Cassie last year.
In a desperate attempt to remain free, he begged for bail, proposing his own home and his mothers as part of a $50million surety.
But Combs request was denied and he will remain in custody and if he is convicted on the racketeering charges, Combs faces a maximum sentence of life in prison, and a sex trafficking conviction would carry a mandatory minimum sentence of 15 years behind bars.
He will be serving pretrial detention at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn - notoriously plagued by suicides and murders, and once home to fellow disgraced rapper R. Kelly, convicted sex offender Ghislaine Maxwell, and fraudster Billy McFarland.
Combs lawyers even acknowledged the deplorable conditions in the bail request last week, noting that several courts in this District have recognized that the conditions at Metropolitan Detention Center are not fit for pre-trial detention.
