UFC's Dana White Calls Diddy Rudest Celebrity After Scaring His Niece at Charity Event

UFC president Dana White named Sean "Diddy" Combs as the rudest celebrity he has ever met during an appearance on Katie Miller's podcast.

White recounted a tense encounter years ago at one of Tony Hawk's celebrity charity events. He said his young niece was excited to see Diddy and asked to take a picture with him. But she returned upset, saying his entourage was scary and rude.

"Ooh, that's a good question. What a great question. Let me really think about this so I can really f---ing stick it to whoever it was … Oh, Diddy. 100%. The biggest d-----bag ever," White replied when Miller asked, "Who’s the rudest celebrity you’ve ever met?"

White explained that celebrities attended the events to do things for each other's kids when his own children were young. Diddy arrived with 10 security guards, which White questioned at a kids' event. "She comes back, and I’m like, ‘Did you get a picture?’ She’s like, ‘No, they were scary.’ You know, the guy’s there with f---ing 10 security guards, right? You need security at a f---ing kids’ event? And then they were rude to her and scared her."

He added, "That’s who’s listening to your f---ing s---ty music, OK? That’s who’s listening to this. Are you f---ing kidding me? And that’s how you’re going to treat some girl that’s a fan and wanted a picture with you?"

White also said Conor McGregor, once a Diddy fan, wanted to punch him after meeting at a UFC event.

The comments follow Diddy's federal conviction. Authorities arrested him in September 2024 on sex trafficking charges. The case involved lawsuits, misconduct allegations and hotel video showing him assaulting former girlfriend Cassie Ventura.

A jury convicted Diddy on two prostitution-related transportation charges and acquitted him of racketeering and sex trafficking. He received a 50-month prison sentence and a $500,000 fine. He faces release in May 2028 from the Metropolitan Detention Center, per the Federal Bureau of Prisons.
