LISTEN: The Trial of Diddy is available wherever you get your podcasts now
Sean 'Diddy' Combs once waited for a meet and greet with a male porn star at an adult entertainment awards show, the performer has revealed.
Lexington Steele recounted how the disgraced rapper made a beeline for his booth at the 2004 AVN convention.
He speculated about the star's sexuality and whether his 'appreciation' was more than professional given the nature of some of the allegations against Diddy, 55.
Steele described how Diddy waited until he had finished up talking to another fan before making his introduction.
'Diddy is sitting there, he was just chilling he wasn't like he had sunglasses on, had a Bad Boy varsity jacket on black with the white sleeves,' Steele told the No Jumper podcast.

'And he sat there patiently with his hands with his hands together, right there on the counter.'
Steele clarified it was the only time he met Diddy and said that the allegations of sexual abuse coming out against the music mogul were, 'as much news to me as to everybody'.
Diddy is currently in jail awaiting trial on federal charges of sex trafficking and racketeering linked to his so-called freak-offs.
The star has also been accused of sexual abuse by more than 100 victims, including some men, in civil lawsuits.
Steele revealed that he was one of two porn stars Diddy waited to speak with, identifying the other as Tara Patrick.
Podcast host Adam22, real name Adam Grandmaison, asked if Steele felt that Diddy's fandom extended to sexual attraction given the allegations against him.
'There is that, but I mean, there is that in porno anyhow where it's like a lot of the appreciation for male performers you know can come from anywhere you know what I'm saying,' Steele said.
'But with Diddy no, I would say, of course I wouldn't know. That was well before even the thought of and nobody even knew what was going on,' he tailed off.

Steele described the encounter as, video mesum 'the coolest', and praised Diddy for allowing him to wrap up speaking with a fan before talking with him.
'I'm talking to a guy and my assistant one of my managers came over to me and was like, "yo you know um I think you want to talk to this person" and I'm like give me asecond,' Steele said.
'You know I afford my fans as much time as I can [...] bro is over there, he knew what it is to appreciate a fan.
'He didn't want to interrupt my time with the fan even though one of the guys that work for me was willing to pull me away from some random person to speak so you know that was the one time that I've ever met Diddy.'
The rapper filed a new request for bail on Friday, saying changed circumstances, along with new evidence, mean he should be allowed to prepare for a May trial from outside jail.
Lawyers for Combs filed the request in Manhattan federal court, where his previous requests for bail have been rejected by two judges since his September arrest.
