Russell Brand previously revealed that he was taken on an ‘enforced’ holiday by Sean Combs.
In a resurfaced interview on Black Ree TV in 2010, Brand said it was hard to ‘say no’ to the rapper, known as P Diddy, who he described as an ‘influential person’.
Asked what it was like working with Diddy on the film Get Him to the Creek, Brand remarked: ‘Diddy was new to me. He looked after me. He took me on an enforced holiday to Vegas.
‘He’s a very intense man because I think he come from nothing and now he’s very very powerful. People who do stuff like that, they’re intense.’
The comedian continued: ‘Now I like him. He’s very influential. Say you don’t want to do something and Diddy does want you to do it, it’s really hard to not do that thing.

Describing P Diddy as ‘influential’ and ‘intense’, Brand said he felt obliged to agree to the rapper’s requests in order to not upset him

Brand gave examples of things someone would have to do on Diddy’s request, including feeding his fish and picking him up from the airport.
He added that he would feel obliged to agree to the rapper’s demands out of a fear of upsetting him.
He said: ‘He’s a bit like the mind f***ing. Like he’s very influential.
‘He’s a good laugh but… he might ask you for loads of favours and you can’t say no to him. That’s my worry.’
‘I don’t want to be nobody’s b****. I’ve worked to hard in life. Not even Diddy’s b****’, he added.
Combs, 54, is currently awaiting trial at Brooklyn’s Metropolitan Detention Center in New York City on charges of sex trafficking, racketeering and transportation to engage in prostitution.
He pleaded not guilty to all three charges and was denied bail.
The rapper allegedly coerced and manipulated victims into taking part in so called ‘freak-offs’ or whole-day sexual performances, while giving them drugs to keep them compliant and threatening them if they refused to oblige.
A regular visitor to Britain over the last 30 years, Comb’s alleged activities may have targeted victims in the UK.

Last year, Brand was accused of rape, assault and emotional abuse as part of a joint investigation by Channel 4’s Dispatches programme, The Times and Sunday Times.
He continues to deny all claims about his behaviour, which was alleged to have happened during the height of his fame between 2006 and 2013.
This week Brand continued his conversion to Christianity, performing a baptism and interpreting the Bible.
The comedian was baptised himself in April, and since December 2023 has published several posts discussing his relationship with the religion.
In a video uploaded this week, the former Buddhist said: ‘How can we ever understand with the conscious limited mind that God himself came down to earth and was sacrificed, that we may be redeemed and rose again, that we may have eternal life, with our limited consciousness, it’s not possible.’
