UFC’s Colby Covington tries to link ‘son of a bitch’ LeBron James to Diddy sexual abuse allegations
UFC welterweight and devout Donald Trump supporter Colby Covington tries to link LeBron James to the growing sex trafficking scandal facing Sean “Diddy” Combs.
“I want to ask LeBron, what does he mean by ‘There’s no party like a Diddy party?'” Covington asked during a press conference to promote Saturday’s fight with Joaquin Buckley.
“LeBron, you are an asshole, and I hope you get locked in the same cell with Diddy,” Covington later added.
Covington, 36, randomly referenced a four-year-old internet clip in which James bragged about attending one of Combs’ infamous parties.
Combs, of course, is now behind bars awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges, claiming he raped and drugged victims as young as nine at these parties. Such celebrations would culminate in large orgies, sometimes lasting days. Combs continues to maintain that he was wrongly accused, claiming that the parties, while nasty, were all consensual.
James, meanwhile, has not been accused of sexual misconduct. Currently, the Lakers star is away from the team for “personal reasons” after recently announcing he was taking a break from social media — something Covington addressed during Wednesday’s press conference.

“I really want to know, and not just that, LeBron, how many Diddy parties have you actually been to?” Covington asked.
“I’m really curious, and is that the reason you left social media? Because of all the backlash you got for going to so many Diddy parties?’

“It’s just sad, man,” Covington added. ‘People think this man is a role model, [he] wants to defund the police; the most patriotic people in America, serving and protecting our country.”
James’ attorney did not immediately respond to DailyMail.com’s request for comment.
Combs, who faces more than 100 sexual assault allegations, is known to have committed the extravagant “freak-offs.”
These parties would culminate in large orgies, sometimes lasting days.
Combs continues to maintain that he was wrongly accused, claiming that the parties, while nasty, were all consensual.
The rapper has been in custody since his arrest in September on charges that he coerced and abused women for years with the help of a network of associates and associates. An indictment accuses him of silencing victims through blackmail and violence, including kidnapping, arson and physical abuse.
James has not commented on the surfaced video and has not been linked to Combs’ crimes.
The fighter also attacked Jon Jones on Wednesday, claiming the UFC heavyweight champion and Covington’s former roommate is a “damn coward” and a “cheat.”
Covington has made a name for himself as one of the top Trump supporters in the UFC, though Jones recently presented the president-elect with a UFC championship belt at Madison Square Garden.
James, on the other hand, has criticized Trump, whom he once called a “bum” online.
