Scott Storch claimed Diddy tried to flirt with him during a party.

During a sit-down interview with the PBD Podcast, Storch reflected on Diddy's legal case and explained that although he's disappointed in his longtime friend for assaulting Cassie, he'll be able to forgive him. Storch added that he wouldn't be as forgiving if Diddy was convicted of being a pedophile.

"If I found out that he did something to a little kid or did some like pedophile shit which I don't think they're going to find because I don't think that's who he is," said Storch. Diddy has been charged with sex trafficking, racketeering, and transportation to engage in prostitution, not pedophilia or anything related to that crime.

While explaining what the person he knows as his friend is like, Storch revealed that there was a time when he felt Diddy tried to make a move on him, which fell short because Storch wasn't interested in those advances.

"He's gangster for sure like, he's definitely like he's from New York like he's not a pussy," said Storch. "Is he a homosexual? Bisexual? Everybody's trying to push that. Is he a cuck, which is like watching other [...] I wasn't in the room. I do know I felt like at one point he tried to flirt with me and shit and I was just like 'I'm good on that type of shit.'"

He added, "I'm just gonna leave it simple like that, you know what I mean. That's it. You know it is what it is. He's my homie, man."

Storch then shot down the rumors that Diddy may have assaulted Justin Bieber when he reportedly spent 48 hours with him in a video that circulated in 2009. According to Storch, there's no truth to those rumors because "everybody wants to be around" Diddy, who Storch called "the flyest fucking dude who made the shit look good."

The latest update in Diddy's federal trial shows the prosecution has announced they are "no longer planning to proceed" with certain sex trafficking, arson, and kidnapping allegations against Diddy. In a recent court filing, the government told Judge Arun Subramanian that it had "removed instructions" for jurors from the charges relating to those alleged crimes.
