South African radio and TV personality DJ Fresh is at the centre of online criticism after several social media posts linking him to Sean "Diddy" Combs were unearthed.

On Sunday, 7 December 2025, the former Metro FM host's Twitter (X) notifications went through the roof with replies to his pictures from eight years prior, when he attended a party hosted by the controversial Bad Boy Entertainment founder.

In 2017, Fresh posted footage from attending the infamous Diddy parties, where in one photo, he snapped several phone pouches meant to store guests' phones as they were not allowed in the party.

The photo was taken at an event associated with the Ultra Music Festival in Miami, hosted by the controversial rapper. Also in attendance were Fistaz Mixwell, Euphonik, and Diddy's friend Black Coffee.

Another Mzansi star who has rubbed shoulders with Combs was DJ Shimza, who, like Fresh, had his photo unearthed following the rapper's legal drama.

Diddy has been known for hosting extravagant parties attended by the rich and famous; however, over the years, the events have come under disrepute over what allegedly happens behind closed doors.

In 2024, the rapper's longtime rival 50 Cent revealed that he would never attend the controversial soirees, noting that they had an "uncomfortable energy."

The G-Unit founder has a long-standing feud with Diddy that inspired several jabs directed at the Bad Boy Entertainment mogul. It was also this feud that led to the newly released Sean Combs: The Reckoning, executively produced by 50 himself.

With the resurfacing of DJ Fresh's photos with Diddy, many South Africans were led to wonder whether the famous DJ ever bore witness to some of the things that allegedly happen at the infamous events.

Briefly News reached out to DJ Fresh about the speculation, and he had this to say.

"Whatever the agenda by whoever is, to tell you the honest truth, none of my business. Every Sunday after Ultra Music Festival, the dude had a party, which starts at six in the morning, and Black Coffee was booked. There were about 15 DJs from South Africa there for that weekend. We went to the party, the party finished, and we left. There’s actually nothing more to it. So yeah, there’s actually nothing here."
