Ice Cube is making it clear he has no affiliation with Sean "Diddy" Combs after the disgraced mogul’s arrest earlier this month.
The rapper was performing for a crowd in Las Vegas Sunday, where he denied ever attending a party hosted by Combs.
"Almost 40 years rocking the mic, and I’m gonna tell you right now, me and [rapper] W.C. ain’t never been to a Diddy party," he told the audience in a video shared on social media.

Authorities claimed Diddy ran a criminal enterprise through his businesses, including Bad Boy Entertainment, Combs Enterprises and Combs Global, among others. He used "violence, use of firearms, threats of violence, coercion, and verbal, emotional, physical, and sexual abuse" to fulfill his sexual desires, according to an unsealed indictment obtained by Fox News Digital.

In the indictment, Combs is alleged to have recorded "freak offs," described by authorities as "elaborate and produced sex performances that Combs arranged, directed, masturbated during, and often electronically recorded.
"Almost 40 years rocking the mic, and I’m gonna tell you right now, me and W.C. ain’t never been to a Diddy party."
"Combs also used the sensitive, embarrassing, and incriminating recordings that he made during Freak Offs as collateral to ensure the continued obedience and silence of the victims," according to the indictment.
Ice Cube is one of a small handful of celebrities speaking out against Combs after Combs' arrest.

"Given the severity of the charges, the detailed allegations in the indictment and the long-standing rumors surrounding Combs, there's no shortage of reasons why celebrities would choose to remain silent for the time being," Doug Eldridge, founder of Achilles PR, told Fox News Digital.
Interviews with Combs have also recently resurfaced in which the "Bad Boy for Life" rapper talks about his parties.

In a 1999 interview with Entertainment Tonight, Combs said, "You’re gonna hear about my parties. They’re going to be shutting them down. They’re probably going to be arresting me doing all types of crazy things just because we want to have a good time, you know?"
Combs also explained the "ingredients" for a "killer party" in a 2002 interview on "Late Night with Conan O’Brien."
"Women, beautiful women, of course," Combs shared with O’Brien. "Beautiful men for the ladies, of course."

He continued to say that "alcohol" is a requirement at the party, in addition to water.
"A lot of ladies drink water at parties. So, if you don’t have what they need, they’re going to leave. Got to keep them there. You need locks on the doors. It’s a little kinky."
