Since Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs was arrested last September on charges including sex trafficking, racketeering, and transporting individuals for prostitution, celebrities have been scrambling to scrub their social media of any ties to him or his notorious parties—and for good reason. Cassie Ventura, singer Dawn Richard, and escort Daniel Phillip have already testified, revealing disturbing allegations about Diddy’s actions over the years, and more revelations are expected before the trial concludes.
With fans closely following the case and eager to learn who was in Diddy’s inner circle—and which celebrities might be called to testify—many stars are now rushing to distance themselves from the disgraced music icon.
Among the many celebrities scrubbing their social media of any connection to Diddy is Steve Harvey, the beloved host of Family Feud. He’s not alone—Usher and Megan Fox have also deleted or altered their online presence in light of the growing controversy surrounding the disgraced music mogul.
What Did Steve Harvey Say About Diddy?
There’s been a lot of speculation about which celebrities were truly close to Diddy, and with so many rumors and conspiracy theories online, it’s hard to separate fact from fiction. Steve Harvey has long been rumored to have a friendly relationship with Diddy, but any public traces of that connection have started to disappear.
Back in September, Harvey quietly deleted a tweet from 2017 in which he praised Diddy, writing, “My brother @Diddy is doing a world of good for these kids.” Though Harvey didn’t clarify what he was referring to, it likely pointed to Diddy’s $1 million donation to Howard University in 2016, which helped launch the Sean Combs Scholarship Fund for students in financial need. Notably, just months before Harvey deleted the tweet, Howard University revoked Diddy’s honorary doctorate, returned the donation, and ended their partnership with him.
Did Diddy Date Steve Harvey’s Daughter?
In 2019, Diddy was rumored to be dating Lori Harvey—Steve’s stepdaughter—after the two were spotted together on multiple occasions, including a family vacation to Italy that Steve also attended. The buzz around the rumored romance intensified due to Lori previously being linked to Diddy’s son, Justin Combs. However, years later, Lori publicly shut down both rumors.
In a 2023 interview, when asked about the biggest misconception people have about her, Lori responded, “There’ve been so many stories made up about me. I’ve seen articles claiming I was in love and had a whole relationship with someone I’ve actually never even met. I’ve heard I dated a father and son—absolutely not true.”
