On Monday, the 51-year-old announced to his 7.1 million Instagram followers that his star-studded celebration will no longer take place this year.
“To all my friends: In efforts to keep everyone safe & healthy unfortunately we are not having a NYE party this year!” wrote Diddy, with a heart emoji. “I hope everyone had a blessed holiday and wish you all the best for the new year!”
