Beyoncé fans are questioning the authenticity of the leaked apology audio given the backlash over Diddy's freak-off parties

Beyoncé has reportedly hinted at attending parties thrown by her husband Jay-Z's friend Sean “P Diddy” Combs in a leaked audio recording.

The Instagram account F2cmedia shared an audio clip that supposedly features Beyoncé herself. Recently, the former Destiny's Child singer was criticized for her association with the Bad Boy Records founder. Many fans urged her to publicly denounce P Diddy over the allegations made against him.

P. Diddy was arrested in mid-September and charged with sex trafficking and racketeering. He pleaded not guilty to the charges and strongly denied any involvement in illegal activities. The person said to be Beyoncé in the audio recording admitted to attending Diddy's infamous parties.

“My involvement in these parties was primarily for entertainment purposes,” the person said. “I had no idea any of this terrible stuff was going on.” They added: “It's vitally important to separate my presence at a party from any illegal activity that may occur.” You know I'm against exploitation and violence am, so let’s get this straight, okay.”

In the comments section of the F2cmedia post, opinions were divided on the authenticity of the audio. Some users believed it was real and praised Beyoncé for addressing the matter, while others were doubtful.

“AI like f—-! Delete this shit,” one critic wrote. Another person commented: “Why does it sound like she's reading something?” A third commented: “B would never. This audio fake af.” Someone else said, “That sounds like a mix of different speeches.” And AI.” So far, Beyoncé has neither confirmed nor denied whether the leaked audio recordings are real or made up.

Since last Friday, the “Crazy in Love” singer has been facing increasing backlash over her association with P Diddy. Many accused her of keeping quiet to protect him. Numerous social media users flooded her Instagram comments demanding answers.

Comments ranged from GIFs to outright accusations, with memes also woven into the conversation. One user asked: “How can you admire someone who is involved in disturbing things?” Another commented in all caps: “We want the truth.”
