A former rep for Sean "Diddy" Combs confirmed earlier claims that Prince William and Prince Harry never accepted his numerous invites to his infamous parties.
The royal brothers reportedly refused to honor these invitations despite the rapper offering to pay all their logistic bills if they agreed to show up.
In an old interview, Sean "Diddy" Combs revealed that he chose to invite the brothers to his parties because they were "young bucks getting into trouble themselves."
After Diddy's arrest, claims about him inviting royal princes William and Harry to his parties emerged. While sources certified those claims to be true, they also noted that the princes never honored those invitations.
A former rep for the musician, Rob Shuter, has now confirmed that not only did Diddy try to invite William and Harry multiple times, the rapper was also "obsessed" with the royal brothers.
"Diddy was obsessed with Prince Harry and Prince William," Shutter told the BBC, while also revealing that Diddy tried "more than 10 times" to get the duo to attend his soirees.
He added about the rapper, "Diddy thinks of himself as a king, so it makes perfect sense that he would like to have two princes in his entourage. Harry and William never accepted the invites, they were never part of his world."
If Harry and William had accepted the invites, they would never have had to cater to their logistics, as Diddy had always offered to "cover their travel, lodging, and even pay for their security."
However, this mouth-watering offer couldn't get them to bite, and fortunately, the duo's decision has helped them avoid the drama currently surrounding the rapper.
According to journalist Christopher Andersen, the royal princes had "made plenty of headlines with their party animal antics," which seemed to have led Diddy to make "a point of inviting them to his parties."
Andersen told Fox News, "But those invitations were wisely turned down, and after William and Kate [Middleton] got engaged [in 2010], Diddy got the hint and stopped inviting them altogether."
Regarding Diddy's persistence with the invites, the rapper himself seemingly provided a reason during a 2011 appearance on "The Graham Norton Show."
During the episode, Diddy told Norton that he only tried to invite the brothers because he was drawn to their then-reputation as thrill-seekers.
The rapper said at the time, "Before, when they were young bucks growing up, and they were getting in a lot of trouble themselves, so, hey, I was like, 'Why don't you come hang out with me?'"
Diddy, however, noted that the pair were "off the list" of people he invites to his parties.
