As Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs remains entrenched in a significant legal battle, an image capturing his extravagant evening with top-tier celebrities in Ibiza, Spain, has reemerged online, a decade after his attempt to erase it from the Internet.
The rapper, who is currently facing serious accusations, had initially shared photos from the August 1, 2014 event on social media, only to quickly remove them, as reported by several outlets at the time.
The gathering, which celebrated fashion designer Riccardo Tisci’s 40th birthday, saw attendance from various stars, including Diddy’s former girlfriend Cassie Ventura, the newlywed couple Kanye West and Kim Kardashian, and pop icon Justin Bieber, who was just 20 years old at the time.
Also present were supermodels Kate Moss (who appeared bleary-eyed), Naomi Campbell and Kendall Jenner; actors Zac Efron and Jared Leto; and reality stars including Kris Jenner and Paris Hilton.
Combs’ trial Monday saw a witness take the stand to testify against him, with Cassie on tap to also testify.
Combs, 55, has pleaded not guilty to allegations of sex trafficking by force, fraud or coercion; racketeering conspiracy and transportation to engage in prostitution.

Dailymail.com has reached out for comment for reps for Combs, Cassie, West, Kardashian and Moss.
Among the assorted images that circulated on social media in the wake of the gathering included Diddy posing with Moss; and Diddy and Cassie alongside West, who’s flashing a peace sign.
Others images saw a classic Kardashian selfie West sleeping in a bed; and the reality TV superstar, who shares four children with West, sharing a laugh with her longtime friend Paris Hilton.
The bash was sponsored by Beats by Dre, Us Weekly reported in August of 2014.
An eyewitness told the outlet that Bieber, Moss and Campbell paid tribute to Tisci, while West ‘serenaded the birthday boy and even led a cheer’ for him.
Cassie on Tuesday testified in the trial in an emotional series of statements about her experiences alongside Combs for years as his partner. She said in testimony she didn’t feel like she could refuse the demands the hip-hip star made of her.
‘Sean controlled a lot of my life, whether it was career, the way I dressed, everything, everything – Sean is a really polarizing person, also very charming,’ said the Me & U singer, whose full name is Casandra Ventura.
Controversy publicly grew around Diddy in late 2023, when he quickly settled a sex abuse case Cassie filed against him. Multiple properties across the country he owned were raided in March of 2024 and he was arrested six months later in September. He has remained incarcerated at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn awaiting his trial after he was refused bail on multiple occasions.
Prosecutors in Combs’ federal case say the music mogul used blackmail and violence in his efforts to silence alleged victims. Among the claims made against the entertainer is that he persuaded women to participate against their will in group sexual exhibitions referred to as ‘Freak Offs.’

The Can’t Nobody Hold Me Down performer remains in federal custody during his trial nearly five months after his September 16 arrest in Manhattan in connection with sex trafficking and racketeering charges.
Combs made a trio of attempts in vain to be granted bail, amid concerns from the court he would attempt to flee or tamper with his case. He has pled not guilty.
Prior to his arrest he was in the headlines for much of 2024 year after raids on multiple properties in March; and video of him assaulting Cassie surfacing on CNN in May.
