Diddy getting arrested earlier this month for sex trafficking and being accused of hosting sex parties called "freak-offs" has some celebrities defending themselves.

Usher already said he has nothing to do with Diddy's charges or sex parties after scrubbing his social media clean. Plus, the pop singer Pink said more or less the same thing after people thought she was trying to hide something because she deleted her Twitter account.

Now, Joe Budden is denying that he was at Diddy's freak-offs, which he did on a recent episode of The Joe Budden Podcast. There's been talk about Budden's connection to Diddy since he worked on his RevoltTV show State of the Culture and took a trip on the same day he was arrested.

"The vacay was just a vacay," Budden clarified. "For the last time, can y’all take me off the list of names that y’all think is on these tapes? Why are y’all so hell bent on putting n****s on these tapes? I ran the jokes long, but I thought the joke was a joke because of who I be ... Clearly, it’s a new crop of people out there that don’t know who I be, so they like, 'Oh he might be that.' I ain’t. No more jokes."

According to one federal agent who was involved in Diddy's houses being raided in March, the Bad Boy founder recorded the freak-offs with cameras he had in "sex rooms." So, there's been constant talk about who's on those tapes.

Another person besides Usher, Pink, and Budden who denied being in the freak-off footage is Ice Cube. "Almost 40 years of rocking the mic, and I’ma tell you right now, me and WC ain’t never been to a Diddy party," he said on stage at Yaamava Theater in California. "You ain’t gotta worry about us on them m*****f******g tapes."
