A post shared on social media purports an article headline claimed that a Lebron James and Sean “Diddy” Combs sex tape has emerged.

Verdict: False

The headline has been altered.

Fact Check:

A male prostitute has provided videos allegedly related to Combs’ infamous parties from 2023, The New York Post reported. He claims Diddy “orchestrated” the events seen on camera and revealed some of the drugs that were involved in these type of happenings, according to the outlet.

A post shared on Facebook allegedly shows a Headline from the outlet Marca that claims Combs and James’s sex tape was made public.

The alleged headline reads, “Videos of LeBron James & Diddy’s Sextape (sic) continue to emerge. What is the most recent video scandal?

The caption reads, “wait what is this true SMFH.”

The claim is inaccurate. The headline is supposedly from an outlet named Marca. There is no such headline on the Marca website. Likewise, there is no such headline on any of their social media accounts.

There is an article that uses the same photos as seen in the screenshot, but the headline is different. The real headline reads, “Videos of Lebron James at Diddy’s parties continue to emerge. What is the most recent video scandal?” In the screenshot, the word “parties” has been edited to show “Sextape,” which is misspelled.

A video of James talking about Combs’ parties on an Instagram Live has resurfaced since Combs was arrested, the New York Post reported. James can be seen saying to Combs “Ain’t no party, like a Diddy party.” (Fact Check: Did Megan Fox Delete Social Media Posts After Diddy Arrest?)
