A 2016 Usher interview has resurfaced following the raids on Sean "Diddy" Combs's properties.
Federal Homeland Security Investigations agents conducted raids at Diddy's homes in LA and Miami earlier this week amid a possible ongoing sex trafficking investigation, according to CBS News.
Diddy has faced numerous sexual assault allegations of late:
In November, he and Cassie Ventura reached a settlement in a lawsuit she filed that accused him of physical abuse, rape, and sex trafficking.
A week later, two more women accused Diddy of sexual abuse. The filings also included allegations of beatings and forced drugging.
The following month, a fourth woman filed a suit. She accused Diddy of gang rape when she was a 17-year-old high school student.
Last month, Diddy was sued by Rodney "Lil Rod" Jones, who worked as a producer for the music mogul. The lawsuit accused Diddy of sexually harassing, drugging, and threatening him.
Diddy has denied all allegations against him.
In the circulating clip of The Howard Stern Show, Usher spoke about "Puffy Flavor Camp" — which he experienced while living with Diddy for a year in New York when he was 13.
"In the '90s!" Usher exclaimed. "Do you understand what that's like?"
"It was curious," he recalled. "I got the chance to see some things."
"I went there to see the lifestyle — and I saw it. But I don't know if I could indulge and understand what I was even looking at. It was pretty wild. It was crazy."
"There were very curious things taking place, and I didn't necessarily understand it," he repeated.
He listed popular artists who hung out at the house, including Biggie Smalls, Lil' Kim, and Mary J. Blige.
"You're a dad now," Howard said. "Would you ever send your kids to Puffy Camp?"
"Hell no," Usher declared.
