Did Diddy’s mansion have a secret underground tunnel connecting to the late Michael Jackson’s home and the Playboy mansion? Well, if it is too hard to believe then this is what the Internet has been peddling these days, saying that it was one of the findings in the Diddy investigations.

For the past few days, the Internet has gone off the rails with this conspiracy theory that suggested that apart from the rapper’s alleged ‘Freak Off’ parties involving celebrities, his mansion in Los Angeles is also connected to Jackson’s home and the Playboy Mansion. While this would have been very interesting, it is unfortunately, not the truth.

Diddy’s Secret Tunnel To Michael Jackson’s House Theory Debunked

Ever since Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs’ arrest on s*x trafficking and racketeering charges, several disturbing details have emerged about the lifestyle that the rapper led. Known for his extravagant parties with multiple celebrities in attendance, Diddy was alleged to have tapes of these celebrities in compromising positions during parties, which were called ‘Freak Offs’.

A new conspiracy theory has been going around the Internet. The rumor reportedly broke out from a page that posted a screenshot allegedly from CNN which reported that an investigation on Diddy’s LA mansion revealed that it had an underground tunnel that possibly led to the Playboy mansion and Michael Jackson’s home.

However, this conspiracy theory is reportedly false, and the ‘CNN’ report that started it all was found to be doctored. Reuters debunked the theory, stating that the screenshot itself was false and there were no such tunnels connecting to other homes, although a grotto by an underwater swimming tunnel was reportedly found. A CNN reporter mentioned,

That is a manipulated image and not something CNN reported.

According to People magazine, Diddy had actually listed his LA home for sale before his arrest, a few months after federal authorities reportedly raided his properties. The rapper listed the property at close to $62 million.

Playboy Mansion’s Alleged Underground Tunnel To Jack Nicholson’s House Likely A Prank

Though Diddy’s rumored underground tunnel to the Playboy Mansion was debunked, it is not the first time a tunnel linked to a celebrity and the Mansion has made the news. An article in Playboy magazine revealed that one of the magazine staff found archival images of a tunnel construction project under the mansion that led to the homes of various celebrities.

According to Vanity Fair, these tunnels were built in the ‘70s and led to the homes of prominent actors like Jack Nicholson, Warren Beatty, Kirk Douglas, and James Caan. When the staff went to the Mansion, he reportedly found many photos and blueprints for the tunnels. However, he reportedly never found the tunnels or any proof of their existence.

The magazine article is likely to be a prank too, as it was reportedly published on April 1, according to People magazine. The magazine article reportedly also included a conclusion where the writer asked if anyone (or their dads) had used the tunnels in the ‘70s and ‘80s to reach out to them. The tunnels were reportedly closed in 1989.
