NEW YORK, N.Y. --

Sean “Diddy” Combs shared a dance floor memory of Michael Jackson on “The Late Show With David Letterman” on Thursday – one with a former “Single Lady.”

After David showed the hip-hop mogul a photo of himself with Michael Jackson, Diddy explained that the King of Pop had shown up at his door in search of another star.

“That was taken like six years ago, he came to one of my parties,” Diddy said. “I didn’t even invite Mike to the party and he just showed up to the party. And guess what he was looking for?”

“Dip?” David responded. “That’s what I would be looking for.”

“No,” Diddy laughed before telling his story. “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!’ So I find Mike and… right after the shot was taken, he whispers in my ear and says ‘Where’s Beyonce?’”

Beyonce’s now married to Jay-Z – but Diddy said the party was during her single days.

“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.”
