Former Disney star Orlando Brown recently left the internet concerned about his mental well-being after making some strange comments about American rapper Diddy.

In a recent interview with Cam Capone News, Brown suddenly started talking about Diddy while making certain odd gestures and sounds before saying,

“I got in my Diddy mode, I’m sorry. I started licking my lips. Yo Diddy, you gave me the oosh goshh goof wash.”

The That’s So Raven alum continued:

“You gave me the oosh gosh mooaf, the shoosh smosh. Diddy… yea son. I love it yo, I love it.”

Prior to his latest statement, Brown also came under fire for making some inappropriate comments about Bow Wow during a 2020 interview with Funny Marco and implying he had a physical relationship with the rapper.

At the time, Bow Wow addressed Brown’s comments and said the actor needed professional help:

“Tweaked out… but you know dude really need help na im sayn? That's why we ain't trippin on em. Nobody taking him serious. It's sad because he had potential to be great. It's sad.”

Orlando Brown also made similar claims about Nick Cannon that same year. Back in 2016, the actor was trolled online after he claimed he had an intimate relationship with his former co-star Raven-Symone. Similar to his latest gestures about Diddy, Brown also made strange noises and expressions at the time.


A look into Orlando Brown’s past controversies

Despite being one of Disney’s rising stars, Orlando Brown’s career faced numerous troubles after he got involved in a string of legal issues. In 2016, the actor was arrested twice on charges of “domestic violence, obstruction of justice, drug possession with the intent to sell and possession of contraband in jail.”

In February 2016, police officers claimed that Brown had a public altercation with his then-girlfriend and allegedly struck her in the parking lot of the police station. He was later found to be in possession of methamphetamine.

In March 2016, cops responded to another call about an alleged domestic disturbance in Brown’s private home between the actor, his girlfriend and the latter’s mother. Despite the charges, Brown failed to appear in court on a scheduled date.

He was ultimately arrested on March 18, 2016, in Barstow, California, on charges of domestic battery, drug possession, and resisting arrest. Brown was eventually released from prison but missed another court date and fled to Las Vegas before being apprehended by bounty hunters.

The Family Matters star was once again arrested in June 2016 after Las Vegas police found him in possession of methamphetamine and a pipe and found an outstanding arrest warrant in relation to a domestic violence incident.

Brown was then charged with “drug possession, possession of drug paraphernalia, and resisting arrest.” In September 2016, the actor faced yet another arrest after videos showed him attempting to break into Legends Restaurant & Venue, a Las Vegas establishment owned by his childhood friend Danny Boy.

Nearly two years later, Orlando Brown appeared in Dr. Phil and opened up about his struggles with addiction and mental health. However, the interview left fans concerned as the actor failed to remember the names of his children. He said at the time:

“I’ve got a two-year-old, a five-year-old, eight and eleven [year-old]. The two-year-old is still in the belly.”

Speaking about his relationship with his children, Brown added:

“Honestly, I see my kids everywhere. But, like I said, I barely see them. I don’t know them. They don’t know me. That’s what this whole thing is about; being able to identify and, you know, get back with my kids and stuff.”

That same year, Orlando Brown also revealed that he got a bizarre tattoo of Raven-Symone's face on his neck.
