Grammy‑nominated hitmaker Scott Storch recently shared an eyebrow‑raising anecdote about music mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs. Speaking on the PBD Podcast, Storch said the two were close but hinted at an unexpected flirtation.
“Man, like everybody wants to be around him; he’s the fu*kin flyest dude,” Storch said, describing the atmosphere at Combs’s legendary parties. He added, “He made the shit look good.”
Amid talk about Diddy’s infamous “freak‑offs,” Storch noted something else. “I do know I felt like at one point he tried to flirt with me and shit,” he revealed. He clarified, “I was just like, I’m good on that type of shit.”
When co‑host Adam Sosnick asked if anything uncomfortable happened, Storch said he wanted to “leave it simple” and insisted “nothing weird.” He stressed, “He’s my homie, man… nothing but love.” Despite the flirtation, Storch emphasized he holds no animosity toward Combs.
A View from the Inside
Storch, whose credits include hits for Dr. Dre and Beyoncé, painted a vivid picture of being part of Diddy’s inner circle. “We were like comrades… I was invited to all the parties,” said Storch.
He claimed he never witnessed any questionable behavior during those gatherings: “I didn’t really see any weird shit at Diddy’s,” he recalled. Instead, Storch painted Combs as a charismatic host who drew guests into lavish, unforgettable events.
Storch also addressed the broader legal storm surrounding Combs. He expressed regret over the violent allegations involving Cassie Ventura, calling the incident unacceptable. Yet, Storch disputed more severe accusations tied to sex trafficking: “I don’t think he’s somebody who just beats women up,” he stated.
Loyalty with Reality
Throughout the interview, Storch balanced camaraderie with critique. He described Combs as a loyal friend, while not shying away from acknowledging troubling reports. His tone remained direct and measured.
Though the flirtation claim adds complexity, it seems more anecdotal than harmful. Storch affirmed: “He’s my homie,” he said, “I can forgive him for the allegations.”
As Combs’s federal trial nears closing arguments in New York, Storch’s testimony offers a rare glimpse of a close associate expressing both loyalty and quiet concern. It underscores the complicated relationships within the entertainment industry.
