The Last Night rapper recalled security coming and explaining that Michael Jackson was at the door. Initially, he thought that they were playing a prank on the rapper but then he went out through the back exit and was shocked to discover The King of Pop himself.

"I didn't even invite Mike to the party and he just showed up to the party. So I'm in the party, I'm hosting, and the security came up to me and they were like, 'Mr. Combs, Mr. Michael Jackson is here to see you.' I'm like, 'Get out of here!'" narrated Diddy.

After taking a photo, Jackson whispered in his ears that he had come to meet only one person, Beyoncé Knowles. Diddy was quick to point out that the party was from a time before Beyoncé's relationship with Jay-Z.

""So I find Mike and… right after the shot was taken, he whispers in my ear and says 'Where's Beyonce?'" Diddy continues, "This is before Jay-Z," Diddy clarified. "He came to the party to holler at Beyonce, finds her and dances with Beyonce in the party! Mike was smooth, Jack,"" concluded Diddy.

In 2009, Michael Jackson met his unexpected demise due to an overdose of Propofol given to him by his physician Conrad Murry. The memorial ceremony was televised live and was estimated to be viewed by a total of 2.5 billion people across the globe.

Three years after the tragedy, Beyoncé penned down a heartwarming message for the King of Pop on her website. The 42-year-old highlighted the importance of Jackson's shows in grooming her as a performer.

"When I was just starting out, my first producer used to make me listen to Michael Jackson's live performance of 'Who's Loving You.' He would have me watch that for hours back to back to back," explained the Grammy winner.

She further talked about the 'soul' in Jackson's performances which was always more poignant than a quintessential performer. According to Queen Bey, Michael Jackson was the master of evoking a 'raw and pure' form of emotion within his billions of listeners across the globe.

"What he wanted me to learn was his soul. You could hear his soul. And he was this little kid who hadn't experienced love but he was a vessel. For whatever reason he could evoke more emotion than an adult. It was so raw and so pure. It was these little things that he did that were just swag. It's something that's God given," explained Bey.

Beyoncé wrote about how Michael Jackson taught her to be candid and let her real emotions flow. According to the King of Pop, gut feeling always precedes technique and preparation for artists.

"Michael taught me that sometimes you have to forget technique, forget what you have on. If you feel silly, you have to go from the gut just let it go. Michael Jackson changed me, and helped me to become the artist I am - thank you, Michael. Love always, B." finished Queen Bey.
