Amid the latest wave of sexual abuse claims against Music executive and rapper, Sean ‘Diddy‘ Combs, a resurfaced video has shown former Manchester United and England footballer, Wayne Rooney bidding $150,000 for a night out with Diddy.
Rooney won the bid to spend the weekend with Diddy in New York at former footballer, David Beckham’s World Cup charity auction in May 2006.
During the event, Diddy insisted he would make his mark on the footballer, vowing Rooney would return a ‘changed man’.
‘After he comes to New York, we’ll probably be cousins. It’ll be a non-stop party with lots of sexy ladies,’ said the rapper.‘’And I promise you, your a** will wake up Wednesday, laying beside me.’ he added
The footage starts with the music mogul climbing on stage uninvited to join Beckham, who was hosting the star-studded event in his mansion in Hertfordshire.
Diddy says: ‘I don’t mean to interrupt you, but I’m in a giving mood […] and I would like to auction something off.
‘Being that I don’t spend a lot of time here, and I don’t really know the crowd, if you win you get your choice of one or the other. Choice A is a weekend at my house in the Hamptons, fully staffed, on the water, East Hampton, New York.’
He adds: ‘Number two is a studio session with me in New York, or London I’ll produce a record for you and your kids. Or number three is a night out with Diddy, Saturday night in New York. And I promise you, your a** will wake up Wednesday, laying beside me.’

After various A-List stars including Sharon Osbourne begin to bid on the offer, Rooney wins by settling on $150,000, on the condition he can bring along a friend.
Rooney’s wife Coleen reportedly stopped her husband from attending the night out in New York with Diddy, according to Diddy.
Diddy was arrested last month on charges of s3x trafficking, racketeering, and transportation to engage in prostitution.
It is alleged that he hosted parties involving illegal drugs, underage girls, hidden cameras and sex workers.
Multiple lawsuits by 120 accusers will mention ‘household names’ as well as companies and individuals who were aware of and profited from Diddy’s alleged crimes, attorney Tony Buzbee said this week.
