In a 2018 episode of The Ellen DeGeneres Show, Sean “Diddy” Combs humorously claimed he wasn’t afraid of clowns, only to be startled into screaming and jumping when Ellen pranked him with a surprise clown.
The playful incident, where Diddy laughed nervously and even pretended to do some karate moves, quickly became a viral sensation, highlighting his fun-loving personality.
Diddy jokingly thanked Ellen afterward, saying, “I want my life to be full of surprises.” However, this light-hearted moment is now being reexamined amid serious allegations of sexual misconduct and abuse against him.
Even the clown ran away 😭

Diddy’s recent legal issues, including lawsuits accusing him of sex trafficking and abuse, have led to increased scrutiny of his past behavior.
The prank on Ellen has resurfaced in the context of these allegations, with some viewers now interpreting his reactions in previous interviews as “red flags,” particularly noting that he appeared evasive when discussing serious matters.
As investigations into Diddy’s alleged misconduct continue, fans are revisiting even his more playful public appearances with a more critical perspective, reflecting on how these moments fit into the broader conversation about his public image amid ongoing legal challenges.
