Following an appearance on The PBD Podcast, Terrence Howard made a shocking claim that has sent mixed opinions online. 

Howard, who had a lot to say on the podcast, made a shocking claim that Sean “Diddy” Combs allegedly tried to initiate an intimate relationship with him, which he refused.

According to the Empire star: “Puffy invited me for weeks, asking me to come teach him how to—he wanted me to be his acting coach for a while.” 

“I go there, and he’s sitting around just looking. I’m like, ‘OK, what’s the material you want to work on?’ He’s just looking at me.“

After their first awkward encounter, Combs allegedly invited Howard over again, claiming he wanted to hear his music.

 Like the first encounter, Howard recalls the music mogul “just sitting there” watching him but giving no response or reaction to the music. 

The Empire cast went on to say that Combs kept reaching out, which eventually led to Howard conversing with his assistant, who suspected the rapper may have ulterior motives.

“I think he’s trying to f*** you’,” Howard recalls his assistant saying, quickly leading him to cut all communications with Combs.

“When you approach a real man about his masculinity, you’re going to get a real reaction back,” he explained to the podcast host. I’ve lost businesses because I don’t bend over in that way. I don’t compromise. I don’t play gay roles; I don’t kiss a man. I don’t do that s–t because the man card means everything.

As the story broke, social media users had a lot to say about the alleged allegations.

Below are some of the comments on X.
