- Celebrities. Ben Affleck re and clarifies his future with Jennifer Lopez amid PDA controversy
- Music. Video of Diddy and Travis Scott talking in a "secret code" resurface and goes viral
The relationship between Jennifer Lopez and Sean "Diddy" Combs has been a topic of interest for decades, but what few knew is that Guadalupe Rodriguez, J.Lo's mother, knew all along. In a 2015 interview on "The Wendy Williams Show," Rodriguez dropped a caveat that is now resurfacing with a vengeance: she didn't want her daughter back with "Diddy."
This conversation has taken on new meaning after Combs was recently arrested on serious sex trafficking and racketeering charges, a scandal rocking the entertainment world. Although Lopez laughed at the time at Williams' comment about the possibility of getting back together with the rapper, her mother was not silent, giving a sign that today seems prophetic.
Rumors and controversy have followed Combs for years, dating back to his relationship with Lopez between 1999 and 2001, when they were arrested together after a violent incident at a New York nightclub. Now, with new allegations facing him with decades in prison, the words of J.Lo's mother take on unexpected relevance.
Sean "Diddy" Combs is accused of coercing female victims to participate in sex shows called "Freak Offs," following raids in March at his homes in Miami and Los Angeles. Authorities seized items that could help prove what was going on inside these residences.
Hours after "Diddy" was arrested in New York on September 17, a federal indictment obtained by NBC News was unsealed, charging Sean with racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking and transportation for prostitution.
Was Guadalupe Rodriguez seeing something the world still didn't understand? With Diddy's career on the rocks, his past relationship with Jennifer Lopez is seen in a new light, and his mother's shadow seems bigger than ever.
