In a new interview, Elisabeth Ovesen, also known as the infamous video vixen “Superhead,” claimed she was “gifted” to Diddy in 2001 after his high-profile break-up with Jennifer Lopez.
The best-selling author spoke with the Daily Beast in a published interview on September 26, claiming an incident in 2001 where she was introduced to the mogul as a ‘gift’ by an unnamed executive. In hindsight, the former video vixen realized what had occurred.
“In retrospect, I realized that I was given to him as a gift by another executive,” Ovesen said.
Ovesen, also formerly known as Karrine Steffans, recalled the incident. She tells journalist Emell Derra Adolphus, “Diddy’s car pulled up… He asked who I was, and the men spoke for me.”
She proclaimed this as the first time meeting the mogul. During the occasion, she recalls “popping pills” and drinking with other music industry executives before being “ordered” to visit Diddy’s home. According to her, Diddy instructed someone, “Send her to my house.”
The new interview follows Diddy facing legal drama on multiple fronts. Born Sean Combs, he was arrested two weeks ago on sex trafficking and racketeering charges. Before the arrest, he faced multiple lawsuits alleging he and others committed sexual assault.
Many alleged victims have come forward in recent weeks with recounts of their encounters with the mogul. Despite not disclosing what happened during her 2001 incident with Diddy, Superhead acknowledged that she recognized the expectations and does not consider herself a victim. “His victims deserve the space and time to discuss what happened in those rooms,” she said.
Ovesen is best known for her New York Times Best-Selling book series on hip-hop’s misogyny, titled Confessions of a Video Vixen (2005), The Vixen Diaries (2007), and The Vixen Manual: How to Find, Seduce & Keep the Man You Want (2009). During an interview with VladTV, she admitted that she was called Superhead by Jadakiss, who referenced it in the 2000 song “Blood Pressure.”
In her Daily Beast interview, Superhead expressed similar sentiments to Method Man, saying Diddy’s allegations go beyond hip-hop. “It’s not just Diddy, and it’s not just music or hip-hop,” she said. “Men who hate women, men who hate who they are, who can’t admit to their sexuality… They beat us early and often.”
