Landon Barker Addresses the Party Incident and Clarifies His Involvement
In response to rumors surrounding his attendance at a Diddy-themed birthday party that allegedly mocked sexual assault allegations, Landon Barker took to TikTok to clear the air. In his video posted on October 15, 2024, the 21-year-old singer firmly denied hosting such a party, explaining that his actual birthday celebration was yet to happen the following week. He admitted attending a gathering after dinner at Nobu with his family, but stated that the party was not his event. According to Landon, the group of friends he was with had been invited by a club promoter, who promised them a table and bottle service.
Landon expressed regret for unknowingly participating in an event where guests were presented with bottles of baby oil—an apparent reference to the police raids at Diddy’s homes earlier in the year. He claimed the lighting in the club was so poor that he couldn’t identify what the bottles were, thinking they were simply tequila. “I didn’t pick up the bottle once and I did not condone it,” Landon said, emphasizing that his actions were not meant to support or mock the serious allegations against Diddy.
Apology and Impact on Others
In his TikTok apology, Landon addressed the criticism he received for staying at the party. Many people questioned why he didn’t leave as soon as the inappropriate theme became clear. He explained that due to the dark and chaotic environment of the club, he wasn’t immediately aware of what was happening. “It was a dark environment, and all I could really see was another table having flashing bottles being brought out,” he explained, noting that he didn’t recognize what the bottles represented until later.
Landon concluded his video with a heartfelt apology to anyone hurt by his presence at the party, reiterating that it wasn’t his intention to be part of such a situation. He made it clear that he didn’t approve of the behavior and didn’t engage with the themed baby oil bottles. A source further supported Landon’s statement, telling *People* that neither he nor the club had prior knowledge of the party’s theme. The source emphasized that Landon didn’t participate in the baby oil service and distanced himself from the incident as much as possible.
