The person recalled one strange incident involving the installation of hundreds of mirrors on the walls and ceiling of a room in Combs’ huge mansion.
As reported by Fandom Wire , the party planner explained, “Everywhere you looked, you’d see yourself reflected again and again, You can imagine what it would look like when people are naked and having sex on the floor, on the couches, wherever. It was definitely a vibe he wanted to put out there, that everywhere you looked there would be s-x happening, It was wall-to-wall debauchery.” As reported by the New York Post , the planner added, “They cost about $500,000 per party. This is for both the mainstream part, and then the sex party afterwards.”

To keep the celebration going, these parties were often scheduled around the time of other important events like the Super Bowl or the MTV Video Music Awards. Top celebrities like Paris Hilton, Jennifer Lopez , Mariah Carey , and Justin Bieber were on the guest lists. Jay-Z and Beyoncé even used Combs’ parties as a platforms to launch their music. According to Rob Shuter, who worked with Combs from 2002 to 2004, the rapper was fixated on power and fame, driven by a constant need for attention. He loved being photographed and flaunting his luxurious lifestyle, as reported by the BBC .
Shuter’s role was to ensure Combs stayed on top, describing life in the rapper’s entourage as being part of a chaotic circus, with Combs as the ringmaster. He also shared that Combs was deeply obsessed with himself. Meanwhile, in recent weeks, over a dozen civil lawsuits have emerged, accusing the music mogul of various serious offenses, including sexual assault , rape, and sexual extortion. Both men and women involved in these cases claim they were forced into sexual acts, either by Combs directly or by those in his circle. Others said they felt intimidated by the influence Combs held within the entertainment industry.
