Emerging hip-hop artist, songwriter, and model Tanea has recently shared her harrowing experience at what she describes as a Diddy freak-off party back in 2018, asserting that the encounter left her deeply “traumatized.” This revelation was made during her appearance on the Soft White Underbelly podcast on October 12.
Tanea initially claimed that an “Arabian prince” with ties to Hollywood invited her to one of Sean Combs’ exclusive gatherings. She recounted meeting this prince while pursuing her music aspirations.
However, at around 15 minutes and 45 seconds into the now widely-discussed interview, she seemed to mention the name Azim. Consequently, online speculators began to theorize that the “Arabian Prince” Tanea referenced may actually be Prince Azim of Brunei, the late son of Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah of Brunei, who briefly dabbled in film production.
Here’s a glimpse of the discussions ignited by users on platforms like YouTube and Reddit regarding this matter.
In addition, some users speculated that the “prince” Tanea mentioned might not be a genuine royal figure but could instead refer to former British boxer Prince Naseem Hamed. They argue that she may have mispronounced “Naseem” in the 26-minute interview. It has been reported that Hamed has connections to Diddy.
For those unfamiliar with the notorious “freak-off” parties, they have been described by federal authorities involved in Diddy’s ongoing legal issues as “intricate s*x performances” involving young and often underage girls forced into sexual activities with male escorts.
Insights on Prince Azim, the figure Tanea claims invited her to Diddy’s party
Prince Abdul Azim was the second son of Hassanal Bolkiah, the Sultan of Brunei. Born in 1982 and raised on the small island of Borneo, he ranked fourth in succession to the throne.
Azim was educated at the International School Brunei before continuing his studies at the Raffles Institution in Singapore and later graduating from Oxford Brookes University. In the professional realm, he was a film producer who established Daryl Prince Productions in London, maintaining a network that included stars like Mariah Carey and Pamela Anderson.
His notable projects include You’re Not You (2014), Dark Places, Wild Oats, and The Happy Prince. Additionally, he ventured into fashion design and was remembered for extravagant birthday celebrations featuring Hollywood A-listers such as Michael Jackson and Scarlett Johansson.
Prince Azim passed away in October 2020, at 38, due to multiple organ failure linked to severe systemic vasculitis, compounded by a struggle with bipolar disorder. Following his death, his brother Prince Abdul Mateen revealed his health battles in an Instagram tribute.
At the time of his passing, Prince Azim’s net worth was estimated at $5 billion. As an openly gay man, he faced criticism in 2019 when his father pushed for harsh penalties against LGBTQ+ individuals, thrusting him into the public spotlight.
Despite this scrutiny, he was celebrated for his charitable contributions, such as creating unisex bags for MCM, with proceeds benefiting the Make-A-Wish Foundation, and hosting fundraising events to promote autism awareness in Brunei.
Recap of Tanea’s alleged encounter at Diddy’s freak-off
During her recent podcast appearance, Tanea opened up about her traumatic night at one of Diddy’s infamous parties. She revealed that she had attempted to tell her story previously, but felt disbelieved.
“I knew it wouldn’t seem true because it was just too much – it was too crazy… people were going to think that I was just lying.”
She described the entry process, where security allegedly “patted down” attendees, confiscating cell phones and locking them away. According to her account, the gathering took place in a large, open space within Diddy’s mansion, resembling a “rave” atmosphere with nudity, loud music, and people swimming naked.
Tanea went on to claim that there was someone “selecting” individuals for an “elite” gathering happening within the party scene itself, which she chose to decline, opting to stick with her friends.
“I’m a good loyal friend, I’m not going to go inside a house where they said my friend can’t go, so, we were just walking around mingling. I saw P. Diddy with the prince, I’m not going to say what he was doing… but it was something really s*xual,” she alleged.
Later, she recounted how Diddy approached her, curious about why she didn’t join the “inner party.” While they chatted about her upcoming trip to Cuba, his then-girlfriend interrupted, expressing her discontent with Diddy engaging with Tanea for too long. She reportedly rubbed his shoulders and tried to pull him away, but Diddy allegedly pushed her aside.
Tanea then attempted to understand the situation in the other party and was “stunned” by what she witnessed, describing it as straight out of a movie.
“I don’t judge people, but you know when people are out of their mind… This corner they’re doing this, this corner they’re doing that, this corner they’re having s*x. I saw one person laid out,” explained the aspiring singer.
In her closing remarks, Tanea expressed her panic, fearing she might be “s*x trafficked, or drugged,” which prompted her to leave Diddy’s mansion swiftly. She reflected on her realization that she was not there for a career opportunity but encountered something far more sinister, leaving her feeling as if she had sold her “soul.”
Interestingly, Tanea had previously discussed her unsettling experience at Diddy’s party during a December 2022 interview with the same podcast.
