Columbus Short Doubles Down On His Claim That Diddy Tried To Groom Him

Back in December, Columbus Short said that Diddy once invited him to his hotel room and suggested he was trying to get him into bed.

"I got a phone call in the middle of the night.  About 2:30 in the morning," said Short back then.  "My wife said, 'Pick up the phone.'  It was an unknown number.  'What bitch is calling you?'  Picked up the phone.  It was Diddy.  He said 'I didn't see you at the BET Awards, what you doing?'  'In bed with my wife.'  He said, 'I'm at the Beverly Hills Hotel.'  I said, who's over there.  'Just me.'"

He's since doubled down on that claim in a newly released interview on the Boss Talk 101 podcast.

"Now, looking back, it’s like the groomage," said Short. "As I got further, deeper into the game people talk. So I would hear stories, but I never saw nothing … I didn’t know they’re after-after parties."

His story comes amid new allegations surrounding Diddy.  Earlier this week, producer Rodney 'Lil Rod' Jones said Diddy sexually assaulted and drugged him, and he's suing the music mogul for $30 million.

Four women have also sued Diddy for sexual abuse.
