A source close to Diddy told TMZ the rapper's statements on the video were 'not meant to be derogatory.'
'The government’s allegations do not address his parties,' the unamed source added.
'People continue to rehash old video clips to fit a certain negative narrative and it’s out of context.'
Ford has worked with acts like Arctic Monkeys, Depeche Mode and Kylie Minogue.
DailyMail.com has reached out to him for comment on this story.
Diddy, 54, has been locked up at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn since pleading not guilty September 17 to federal charges that he used his 'power and prestige' to induce female victims into drugged-up, elaborately produced sexual performances with male sex workers in events dubbed 'Freak Offs.'
Ford, seen in more recent photos, has collaborated with artists such as Arctic Monkeys, Depeche Mode, and Kylie Minogue. Meanwhile, other alleged victims have already filed lawsuits against the music mogul, accusing him of sexual assault.
Diddy has pleaded not guilty to charges of racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking. His attorney maintains his innocence, stating that he will fight to clear his name.
Meanwhile a Houston-based attorney has said he is representing 120 accusers who have come forward with sexual misconduct allegations against Diddy.
Tony Buzbee said he expects lawsuits to be filed within the next month, with most expected to be filed in New York and Los Angeles.
Buzbee described the victims as 60 males and 60 females, and that 25 were minors at the time of the alleged misconduct. One individual alleged he was 9 years old when he was abused, Buzbee said. The allegations cover a period from 1991 to this year.
Diddy is one of the most renowned music executives, producers, and performers in hip-hop. A three-time Grammy winner, he has collaborated with iconic artists such as Notorious B.I.G., Mary J. Blige, Usher, Lil Kim, Faith Evans, and 112.
In 1993, he founded Bad Boy Records, along with the influential fashion line Sean John, a vodka brand, and the Revolt TV network. He sold his stake in Revolt TV in June of this year.
