Just when you thought online talks of a link between Sean “Diddy” Combs and late One Direction singer Liam Payne was just speculation, new details may have just given it more credence.

As we previously told you, Payne died on Wednesday, Oct. 16 after falling from the third floor balcony of a hotel in Argentina. Now, thanks to a partial autopsy and toxicology report of Payne’s body, ABC News has reported on Monday that multiple substances were found in his system when he fell to his death, namely “pink cocaine– a recreational drug that typically is a mix of several drugs including methamphetamine, ketamine, MDMA and others.” Cocaine, benzodiazepine and crack were also found.
While the list of drugs is a lot to take in and of itself, where Diddy comes back into play is that the “pink cocaine” was the same drug mentioned in an earlier lawsuit filed against him by music producer Rodney “Lil Rod” Jones back in February. Of course, this still does nothing to legally prove that Diddy had anything to do with Payne’s death but the drug coincidences aren’t keeping folks from speculating once again:
“That pink cocaine isn’t new and is what Sean The Diddler Diddy Puff Daddy Puffy P Diddy Combs used regularly himself & to force on others. Definitely unfortunate to see Liam Payne using it but it’s surprising especially considering how bad of shape he was according to hotel staff,” wrote on user on X/Twitter.
“are yall forgetting pink cocaine was trending a few months ago in regards to DIDDY??? and now again with liam payne,” said another.
“Pink cocaine aka Tusi or 2-CB is the same drug Jonathan Oddi accused Diddy of allegedly using and Trafficking. Remember when Liam Payne called the Diddler evil??,” another said.
For additional context, in Lil Rod’s suit, he alleged that one half of the rap duo City Girls, Yung Miami (a.k.a. Caresha) transported “pink cocaine”—a mix of both cocaine and ecstasy—known on the street as “tuci” for Diddy to keep around. Lil Rod also claimed that “all employees from the butler, the chef to the housekeepers” were required to “walk around with a pouch or fanny pack filled with cocaine, GHB, ecstasy, marijuana gummies” so they would be at Diddy’s disposal whenever he wanted. Pink cocaine was also allegedly transported by Diddy’s alleged “drug mule” Brendan Paul.
What’s more, in the wake of Payne’s death, an old interview he did on “The Graham Norton Show” on the BBC detailing his first encounter with the Bad Boy producer resurfaced online and subsequently went viral as Payne said Diddy had an “evil laugh.” In a different interview that same year, Payne expounded on the encounter again, saying that he was “fearful” of Diddy. Thanks to that interview and now this “pink cocaine” link, folks will no doubt keep fanning the flames of their connection in order to find answers.
