UFC CEO Dana White has identified Sean 'Diddy' Combs as the "rudest celebrity" he has ever encountered. White recounted the interaction, stating, "You need security at a fing kids event?" during a recent appearance on The Katie Miller Podcast*. The revelation came amidst discussions about various topics, including UFC Freedom 250 and politics. White's strong assertion was met with immediate agreement after he consulted someone off-camera, who suggested "Diddy." White then emphatically responded, "Oh, Diddy, 100 percent the biggest douchebag ever."
Social Media Stir and Related Encounters
White's public pronouncements, particularly his unflattering remarks about Combs, have generated commentary online. Some users have questioned his reaction, with one post on social media labeling it "pretty weird."
Adding a layer to White's assertion, UFC star Conor McGregor, once a perceived supporter of Diddy, has reportedly had a similarly negative experience with the music mogul. White himself expressed a visceral reaction to his encounter with Combs, noting, "He wanted to punch him in the face when he met him."
