In the wake of mounting allegations against music mogul Sean Combs, Kansas City Chiefs star Patrick Mahomes appears to be distancing himself. Social media posts referencing Combs’ stage name “P Diddy” have been removed from Mahomes’ accounts.
The deleted posts, dating back to 2014, used the phrase “P Diddy,” which was Combs’ primary alias between 2001 and 2004. This move suggests Mahomes may be attempting to separate himself from any potential association with the ongoing investigations surrounding Combs.
At least one of the tweets appears to be completely unrelated to the artist … as it mentioned a friend with the username “@Pat_Day_75,” who seems to be a longtime friend from Texas.
Mahomes’ other post came on Feb. 16 — the date of the 2014 NBA All-Star Game in New Orleans, where Diddy performed alongside other musicians like Pharrell, Nelly, Busta Rhymes and Snoop Dogg.

“Yeah p diddy!!,” Mahomes said on X while a freshman at Texas Tech.
The tweets were totally innocent at the time, but didn’t age well given the recent controversy … so it’s no wonder why the three-time Super Bowl champ would remove them from his account — especially after some users started to bring the old posts to light.
As we previously reported, Diddy’s L.A. and Miami homes were raided earlier this week in relation to allegations of sex trafficking, soliciting and distributing illegal narcotics as well as firearms.
Safe to say Mahomes won’t be sharing the lyrics to “It’s All About the Benjamins” anytime soon … at least until the case is resolved.
