Rihanna laughed off a paparazzi question about her being at Diddy's freak off parties.

On Oct. 2, 2024, X (formerly Twitter) account Akademiks TV posted a video of Rihanna exiting a venue and being met with paparazzi inquiring about her relationship with Diddy. In the clip, a reporter asks the Fenty queen if she's ever been to one of the disgraced Bad Boy CEO's parties. When Rihanna hesitates to answer, they ask her directly, "Were you involved in any of the freak offs?" The question sparked a hilarious response to what the singer seemingly felt was an absurd question.

"That’s crazy," Rihanna simply replies before cackling into her car.

The short interaction quickly began circulating online and received tons of fans' comments, some of whom didn't think she was telling the truth about attending the freak offs.

"We better not catch you on any of those tapes after this," one user wrote.

"You mean Jay-Z freak offs?" another asked.

"She definitely did," said a third commenter.

Diddy was arrested on Sept. 16, 2024, on charges of federal sex trafficking and racketeering. Before his arrest, he and Rihanna were friends, at least friendly enough for him to discuss her former relationship with Chris Brown. In May 2024, a clip of Diddy addressing Rihanna and Chris's 2009 domestic abuse case on The Ellen DeGeneres Show resurfaced.

In the clip, the mogul cryptically defended the controversy. In addition to telling Ellen both Chris and Rihanna were in the wrong, he also said that the public doesn't know what goes on with celebrity couples behind closed doors.

"We know sometimes those relationships get ugly," he admitted.
