Jennifer Lopez’s first husband, Ojani Noa, claims he confronted Sean “Diddy” Combs after becoming convinced the music mogul had an affair with Lopez during their marriage.
“She cheated on me with Diddy,” Noa, 52, alleged in an interview with The Sun on Sunday. “I confronted him and told him I wasn’t scared of him.”
Noa said the heated encounter occurred at a Los Angeles birthday party after his 1998 divorce from Lopez. According to Noa, he and the singer had remained friends and were considering giving their relationship another chance when Diddy unexpectedly arrived.
“I went over to him and told him to leave,” Noa recalled, alleging that the now-disgraced music mogul told him to back off. “I told him he had slept with my wife.”
Noa claimed Lopez stepped between the two men before later leaving the party with Diddy.
The former restaurant worker also alleged that Lopez called him weeks later because she was frightened after Diddy appeared outside her home and shouted for her. Noa said he rushed over and confronted Diddy again before police arrived and the rapper left.
The account is Noa’s version of events and has not been independently verified.
Noa met Lopez while working at a Miami restaurant. They married in 1997 after a whirlwind romance but divorced 11 months later as her entertainment career accelerated.
Lopez began publicly dating Diddy in 1999. Their relationship ended in 2001. Noa said he first became suspicious after friends reported seeing the pair together while Lopez worked on her debut album.
