Travis Barker's son Landon denies Diddy-themed birthday party: 'A bad situation'

Landon Barker is apologizing for appearing to attend a Sean "Diddy" Combs-themed party.
On Tuesday, the "Friends With Your Ex" singer shared a TikTok denying those claims that he hosted the party to ring in his 21st birthday, which took place on Oct. 9. "I'd like to come on here and apologize and address the fact that people are saying I had this whole themed birthday party," the son of Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker and TV personality Shanna Moakler said in the video.
"First off, I've not had a birthday party. My birthday party is next week."
Barker claimed that he, his family and a friend went to celebrity hotspot Nobu to celebrate his birthday and after, he and his friends were invited to a party. The club promoter for the party said he'd give him "a table and a bottle – make sure we are all good to go," Barker explained.
Barker addressed the reason he didn't leave the party immediately after becoming aware of the baby oil-themed bottle service, which was a reference to federal investigators' raids of Combs' homes where they seized over 1,000 bottles of baby oil and lubricant from the music mogul's residences. He "didn't know what was going on right away," he said.

"It was a dark environment and all I could really see was another table having flashing bottles being brought out," he said. "The bottles had flashing lights underneath them, so I wasn't able to distinguish what they were. I'm just thinking they're bringing out tequila with the bottle. I have no idea of what's going on at this point."

It wasn't until bottle service arrived at his table that he realized what was happening. Barker said he "didn't pick up the bottle once" and "did not condone," adding that he "just went to a club to celebrate my birthday and ended up in a bad situation."
In the caption of his TikTok, he wrote "apologies to go out to everyone I hurt — this wasn’t my idea and I never wanted that to happen."

In another video posted on TikTok, Barker addressed his frustration over allegations that he requested his friends to wear all-white for the event − about Combs' infamous star-studded white parties.
"This is what was worn on my birthday," Barker said, showing photos of what his friends wore to his birthday celebration. "Formal attire is a white top and black pants for most people. It was like a fancy dinner. People just took their jackets off."
Combs' legal troubles came to a head in September when he was arrested and charged with racketeering, sex trafficking and transportation to engage in prostitution.
The U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York announced charges leveled against Combs in an unsealed indictment on Sept. 17, the day after his arrest. Despite a proposed $50 million bail, Combs was ordered to remain in custody at the Special Housing Unit in Brooklyn's Metropolitan Detention Center ahead of his upcoming May 5 trial — a ruling his legal team has challenged in the Second Circuit Court of Appeals.
The criminal charges arrive nearly a year after Combs' ex-girlfriend and "Me & U" singer Casandra "Cassie" Ventura accused Combs of rape, sex trafficking and physical abuse in November 2023. The lawsuit spurred multiple civil suits leveled against him with allegations of rape, sexual assault and similar claims as the ones listed in the Sept. 17 indictment unveiled by investigators.
