Sean “Diddy” Combs was at the height of his fame in the early 2000s with an entourage of about 25 people at the Seventh Heaven strip club in Tokyo when he invited topless dancer Rachel Kennedy to a party at his hotel, she exclusively told The Post.

“He asked about me and we started drinking and talking,” recalled Kennedy, now 51, who now lives in Arizona.

“We hit it off, we talked and he invited me and my friends to a party at his hotel. I took the girls and we went to Diddy’s hotel.”

But as Kennedy recalls, Diddy – who was arrested this week on federal sex crimes charges – was the only one present when she and two friends arrived at his room.

The now disgraced hip-hop mogul opened the door in a bathrobe and holding a bottle of champagne.

“We all knew at that point it was going to be a one-person party,” Kennedy said.
Kennedy told the Post that she did cocaine with her pals the night they were lured to Diddy’s hotel room under the guise of fake parties, but that the rapper did not participate.

Little did she know at the time that she was about to experience what Diddy would later call “freak offs” – highly explosive sexual performances – which have now landed him in legal trouble: He is accused of conspiracy to commit organized crime, sex trafficking and transportation for the purpose of prostitution.

“We were partying and doing cocaine. I never saw Diddy do cocaine. He said he was just smoking weed back then,” Kennedy said.

Diddy, now 54, even bragged about smuggling marijuana through the airport, saying, “He doesn’t have to hide it,” Kennedy said, noting that she discovered marijuana in the hotel room.

At the time, Diddy was at the height of his fame, having scored a worldwide megahit with “I’ll Be Missing You” in 1997 and “Bad Boy For Life” in 2001. He was also linked to a fatal nightclub shooting in 1999 and was a highly successful record label head and entrepreneur, as well as a rapper.

He was also with one of the most beautiful women in the world – Jennifer Lopez.

Kennedy recalls how, oddly enough, Combs even started showing us videos of his girlfriend’s (J. Lo) music videos. He made us watch her music videos one after the other.

“I said, ‘Oh, that’s really cool.’ It felt weird because we were in his hotel room and he was showing us videos of his girlfriend,” Kennedy said.

“It went on like this for a while. He invited me and my friend to his bedroom. He didn’t like the other girl (so she stayed in the living room of the suite).

“We went back to his bedroom and started performing oral sex. We all lay on his bed. When we finished, he was still naked and his security chief came in,” Kennedy recalled.

The Post has reached out to Combs’ team for comment.

At the time, Kennedy recalled, Diddy’s bodyguard became “violent” toward her and her friends – and Diddy did nothing to stop it.

“He (the bodyguard) tried to throw us out the door. We thought he was going to kick us in the face,” Kennedy said. “He was violent. We just wanted to get out as fast as possible.”

“(The bodyguard) came in with such force that we realized he hadn’t just come to celebrate with us.

“Maybe this was a deal between the two of them. This is (Diddy’s) private bedroom in his hotel room – who has that much access that they can invade his hotel like that while he’s having relationships with girls?” Kennedy said.

“He (Diddy) didn’t say a word to us, he just quietly got dressed while the bodyguard tried to throw us out the door. That’s that gang mentality – if one can’t do his job, the other one has his back. It’s scary.”

The controversial hip-hop mogul is currently in prison at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn.

The indictment against Diddy states that he “abused, threatened and coerced women and others around him to fulfill his sexual desires, protect his reputation and conceal his behavior.”

He is also accused of abusing women and forcing them to participate in so-called “freak off” performances to satisfy his sexual desires, federal prosecutors said. The freak offs were described in the indictment as elaborate sex performances that the disgraced hip-hop mogul “arranged, directed, masturbated during, and often electronically recorded.”

The sensational 14-page indictment also accuses Diddy of running a criminal organization that allegedly enabled him to abuse, threaten and coerce women for over a decade.

Diddy pleaded not guilty and was placed on suicide watch Friday in Brooklyn Jail, where he awaits trial on the alleged sex crimes. A judge rejected his offer of $50 million bail.

The Post had previously reported that Combs’ alleged “freak-off parties” were so wild that they shocked a drug dealer who claimed he saw well-known celebrities having sex with each other at his East Hampton mansion.

The dealer told the Post that Diddy opened the door to his former mansion in the Hamptons wearing only a bathrobe – just as he had when greeting Kennedy – and led him into a back room to complete the cocaine deal.

“Weird shit started happening. Famous guys were fucking each other.

“You saw two people you wouldn’t have thought would do anything together, rappers, that shocked me,” the dealer explained.

The allegations against Combs first came to light last November when the rapper’s ex-girlfriend, R&B singer Cassie Ventura, sued him for rape and assault.

Ventura’s lawsuit included details of the drug-related “freak offs” and her harrowing accounts of how the rapper trafficked, raped and brutally beat her from 2005 to 2018.

“After years of silence and darkness, I am finally ready to tell my story and speak on my own behalf and for the benefit of other women who face violence and abuse in their relationships,” Ventura, 37, said at the time in a statement through her lawyers.

Through his lawyers, Diddy denied any wrongdoing and reached a settlement within 24 hours of the lawsuit being filed.

But the floodgates were open and more lawsuits followed. The charges were dismissed by his legal team, but none of them were tried in court before his arrest.

Kennedy – who is currently unemployed but previously ran a nonprofit and founded Lucky Puppy Animal Rescue – told The Post that Diddy did nothing to stop his “violent” bodyguard.

“We were able to outrun him (the bodyguard) and run faster than him. We probably had to go through 30 rooms before we got to the elevator. We went downstairs – I called Diddy and asked why your friend is being so violent with us. He hung up,” Kennedy recalled.

“We thought we were going to a party. I imagine a party can unexpectedly turn into a one-on-one conversation with P Diddy,” Kennedy said.

“We never thought we would be alone in a room with him,” Kennedy added.
