Diddy has pleaded not guilty to federal charges but will be held without bond.

Accoridng to Inner City Press, the embattled Bad Boy mogul sat at the defense table in a black shirt with two US Marshals standing behind him.

Diddy’s alleged crimes carry a maximum sentence of life in prison or death, as explained by Assistant US Attorney (AUSA) Emily Johnson. He was considered a flight risk due to his alleged abusive nature to his victims over the years.

The AUSA detailed Diddy set up “freak-offs,” supplying female victims with narcotics in order to continue the events for multiple days. Diddy was also accused of arson and kidnapping, while stating he surrounded himself with firearms, three of which, AR-15s with scrubbed serial numbers, were seized in law enfrocement operations.

Diddy’s incidents at the Intercontinental Hotel in Los Angeles and the recent lawsuit from Dawn Richard were referenced during the arraignment. Also, the AUSA noted Diddy had narcotics described as “pink powder” in his hotel during the arrest.

In response, Diddy’s attorney, Marc Agnifilo, stated Diddy is “not a perfect person” and detailed the “toxic relationships” as “mutual.”

Diddy’s legal team asked for his release. In a court-submitted letter, Diddy’s team penned, “This letter will walk the Court through a series of actions taken by Mr. Combs over the past six months that prove that he is not a risk of flight or a danger to anyone in the community.”

The full indictment against Sean “Diddy” Combs has been made available online, shedding light on the extensive allegations against him following the March 2024 raids of his Miami and Los Angeles homes. According to the indictment, law enforcement officials seized “various Freak Off supplies,” including narcotics and over 1,000 bottles of baby oil and lubricant.

The indictment describes the “Freak Off” events as “elaborate and produced sex performances” that Combs orchestrated, directed, and participated in, often recording these activities electronically. It also notes that Diddy had IV fluids on hand for recovery from drug use.

Diddy faces serious drug charges, including intent to distribute cocaine, oxycodone, Xanax, CHB, MDMA, and ketamine. Additionally, authorities found three AR-15 rifles with scrubbed serial numbers and a drum magazine in his possession.

The indictment spans from 2008 to the present and includes allegations against Combs’ business associates for illegal activities such as sex trafficking, forced labor, interstate transportation for prostitution, coercion, and other offenses. The document suggests that Combs’ company, initially established for media and entertainment, also facilitated his sexual gratification.

Diddy remains in custody and is scheduled to have his charges read in court on Tuesday. His lawyer, Marc Agnifilo, has vowed to “fight like hell” to secure bail for the music mogul.

Diddy spent the night in federal custody, but one of his former collaborators has denied accusations laid against him. Diddy-Dirty Money member Kalenna Harper states she never saw him abuse former girlfriend Cassie, contrasting what the other member, Dawn Richard, alleges in a lawsuit.

According to TMZ, Kalenna is mentioned 33 times in the lawsuit, but denies the claims: “While I fully respect Dawn’s right to recount her experiences, I want to emphasize that her account reflects her personal perspective and should not be interpreted as a universal truth applicable to everyone involved.”

She added, “Many of the allegations and incidents described in this suit are not representative of my experiences, and some do not align with my own truth.”

Last week, Sean “Diddy” Combs’ legal team responded to a recent lawsuit filed against him by singer-songwriter Dawn Richard, alleging physical abuse and sexual assault. In a statement to Complex, Diddy is “shocked and disappointed” by the lawsuit, describing it as a “manufactured series of false claims all in the hopes of trying to get a payday.”

The lawsuit, reported by TMZ, accuses Diddy of harassment and sexual abuse. Richard, a former member of Danity Kane and Diddy-Dirty Money, alleges a pattern of abusive behavior between 2009 and 2011. She claims he once forced her to rehearse for 48 hours straight, resulting in severe weight loss, fatigue, and dehydration. Richard also recalled an instance when, during a visit to Diddy’s Miami home, he greeted her wearing only his underwear and refused to dress.

The accusations extend further. Richard alleged Diddy forcibly entered her dressing room and groped her. In another incident, she claims he locked her in a car and was only released her after her father traveled from Baltimore to New York to confront Diddy. During the confrontation, Richard says Diddy warned her father, “Think about your daughter and think about your daughter’s career.”

The lawsuit also references an incident involving Cassie, in which Richard claims she witnessed Diddy violently throwing Cassie against a wall, choking her, and dragging her upstairs at his Los Angeles home while under the influence of drugs. She also alleges an incident when Diddy threw a hot pan of eggs at Cassie.

Richard claims that when she and her Diddy – Dirty Money bandmate Kalenna Harper advised Cassie to leave Diddy, he retaliated. Allegedly, he told them, “Y’all bitches don’t get in my relationship … Just make money and shut the fuck up,” and threatened their lives, stating, “I shelve careers … You could be missing … You bitches want to die today.”

Diddy’s legal team released a full statement to Complex:

“Mr. Combs is shocked and disappointed by this lawsuit. In an attempt to rewrite history, Dawn Richard has now manufactured a series of false claims all in the hopes of trying to get a pay day — conveniently timed to coincide with her album release and press tour. If Ms. Richard had such a negative experience with Making the Band and Danity Kane, she would not have chosen to continue working directly with Mr. Combs for Dirty Money, nor would she have returned for the Making the Band reboot in 2020 or agreed to be featured on The Love Album last year. It’s unfortunate that Ms. Richard has cast their 20-year friendship aside to try and get money from him, but Mr. Combs is confidently standing on truth and looks forward to proving that in court.”

According to several confirmed reports, Bad Boy mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs has been taken into federal custody in New York today (Sept. 16). Reports state that the troubled music exec was brought into the FBI field office in Manhattan.

The detainment is reportedly connected to the ongoing federal investigation into alleged sex trafficking that led to the FBI and ATF raids on his Los Angeles and Miami mansions earlier this summer.

Marc Agnifilo, attorney for Combs, stated to TMZ, “We are disappointed with the decision to pursue what we believe is an unjust prosecution of Mr. Combs by the U.S. Attorney’s Office. Sean “Diddy” Combs is a music icon, self-made entrepreneur, loving family man, and proven philanthropist who has spent the last 30 years building an empire, adoring his children, and working to uplift the Black community.” Agnifilo adeds, “He is an imperfect person but is not criminal. To his credit Mr. Combs has been nothing but cooperative with this investigation and he voluntarily relocated to New York last week in anticipation of these charges. Please reserve your judgment until you have all the facts. These are the acts of an innocent man with nothing to hide, and he looks forward to clearing his name in court.”

Diddy is in federal custody in New York City. According to TMZ, the Bad Boy mogul was taken into the FBI field office in Manhattan. The Hollywood Reporter notes a grand jury indictment, but the charges are unknown.

The feds reportedly arrested Diddy in association with the criminal investigation of alleged sex trafficking and possible additional crimes that led to searches of his Miami and Beverly Hills homes. Diddy was arrested at a midtown NYC hotel on Monday. The arrest was originally scheduled for Tuesday but was moved up due to unstated reasons.

“We are disappointed with the decision to pursue what we believe is an unjust prosecution of Mr. Combs by the U.S. Attorney’s Office,” Diddy’s attorney, March Agnifio, said to TMZ. “Sean “Diddy” Combs is a music icon, self-made entrepreneur, loving family man, and proven philanthropist who has spent the last 30 years building an empire, adoring his children, and working to uplift the Black community.

Eminem took some very vicious shots at Diddy on his new album The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de grâce): Expanded Mourner’s Edition, where Em recruits Shady Records’ Westside Boogie and Grip while he delves into Hip Hop’s most reputed unsolved murders and he pulls no punches about who the culprit is.

On “Fuel” Shady goes in on the troubled mogul, rapping, “So who’ll be picked next, whose name gonna be next up? / Notorious B.I.G.’s death was the domino effect of Tupac’s murder / Like facial tissue, whose clock should I clean next? Puff’s? / ‘Til he’s in police handcuffs, guilty, will he step up? / Like gee, never turned himself in, who knows all the murders there’ll have been?!?”

The original version of Fuel featured J.Cole’s artist JID, who goes in on Diddy about the infamous Cassie video among other things.

The Bad Boy founder always denied any involvement in the shooting deaths of either Big or ‘Pac and there’s no evidence that he will be subpoenaed in Duane “Keefe D” Davis’ ongoing murder trial in Vegas.

Eminem fans are actually upset with his latest offering, complaining about the long wait for an album that only contains three tracks.

Music mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs has put his luxurious Holmby Hills mansion on the market, listing the expansive estate for a staggering $61.5 million. According to property records, Combs, 54, originally purchased the palatial property in Los Angeles’ exclusive billionaire’s row neighborhood in 2014 for $39 million.The nearly 20,000-square-foot residence, set on a sprawling 1.3-acre lot, offers an abundance of opulent amenities. Hidden behind private gates and surrounded by lush landscaping, the estate features mature trees, formal gardens, and a resort-style swimming pool complete with a waterfall and grotto. An outdoor covered loggia provides an ideal space for alfresco dining and entertaining.Inside, the traditional-style home boasts 10 bedrooms and 13 bathrooms. The gourmet kitchen is complemented by a wine cellar and a separate catering kitchen, perfect for hosting large gatherings. For movie enthusiasts, a state-of-the-art theater can accommodate up to 35 guests, offering a cinematic experience within the comfort of home.On the second floor, the primary suite stands out with dual bathrooms and expansive closets. A gallery hallway leads to additional guest rooms and family suites, ensuring ample space for visitors. The estate also includes a large, two-story guest house featuring a gym and a recording studio, catering to both fitness and creative pursuits.Despite the sale, sources close to Combs emphasize that the decision to part with the property is not related to any ongoing civil litigation or investigation. “Diddy established his primary residence in Miami years ago and always planned to sell his LA home once his daughters grew up and moved out,” a source told Fox News Digital. “He’s an empty nester and spends most of his time in Florida. It has nothing to do with any civil litigation or investigation.”

Marlon Wayans had been to a Diddy party but left before it got too late. Appearing on Club Shay Shay, Wayans revealed he went to “plenty” parties, but “I left early.”

The legal troubles surrounding Bad Boy Entertainment CEO Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs have taken a significant turn as federal prosecutors from the Southern District of New York intensify their investigation. Earlier this year, former Bad Boy music producer Rodney ‘Lil Rod’ Jones filed a $30 million civil lawsuit against Diddy, alleging that 50 Cent’s ex-girlfriend and mother of his child, Daphne Joy, was involved in Diddy’s alleged trafficking ring. Now, it appears the feds are digging deeper to uncover more about the accusations.

According to legal documents obtained by TMZ, federal authorities have issued a subpoena to a luxurious Miami hotel, demanding a wide array of records linked to Diddy, Daphne Joy, and other associates of the hip-hop mogul. The subpoena, which focuses on the period from January 1, 2008, to the present, seeks extensive information including reservation records, check-in and check-out dates, room numbers, guest preferences and requests, and billing details.

But the investigation doesn’t stop there. The subpoena also requests email and mailing addresses, phone numbers, and payment methods used by Diddy, Daphne Joy, and others, whether it be cash or credit. Additionally, federal prosecutors have asked for computer IP addresses, logins, identification copies, and even vehicle information connected to the individuals involved. Furthermore, the feds are inquiring about any surveillance footage the hotel might have, potentially seeking to piece together a clearer picture of the activities and interactions that took place.

This latest development signals that authorities are far from finished with their investigation into Diddy, with the new subpoena issued just weeks ago. As the probe continues, the legal landscape for the Bad Boy CEO becomes increasingly complex, with potential implications for his personal and professional life.

As of now, both Diddy and Daphne Joy have yet to publicly respond to the latest subpoena and the ongoing investigation.

Federal authorities have been trying to get a criminal indictment against Diddy since his legal trouble began earlier this year and now a grand jury subpoena is being issued for information regarding a hotel in Florida and Diddy’s ex, Daphne Joy.

Federal prosecutors from the Southern District of New York obtained a subpoena a couple of weeks ago, ordering the swanky hotel to cough up all documents related to Diddy and Daphne Joy from 2001 up until the present, including reservation records such as check-in and check-out dates, room numbers, guest preferences and requests, and billing information, including room service. Feds also requested emails/ mailing addresses and phone numbers and with forms of payment, such as cash and/or credit cards.

Authorities’ requests have become even more specific, asking for computer IP addresses and logins for the individuals, as well as copies of their IDs and vehicle registrations.

In March, it was reported that Diddy’s Miami and Los Angeles mansions were raided by federal authorities due to an investigation into Diddy’s involvement in alleged sex and narcotics trafficking. Also, it has been confirmed that a grand jury has been empaneled to hear evidence and witnesses were notified they could be called to testify in the Southern District of New York.

Bad Boy Entertainment CEO, Sean “Diddy” Combs, is fighting back against a $30 million civil lawsuit filed by former Bad Boy music producer Rodney “Lil Rod” Jones. This week, Diddy filed to dismiss the lawsuit, calling Jones’s allegations “blatant falsehoods.” However, Jones is standing by his claims, painting a grim picture of his experiences working with the music mogul.

In a recent interview with Rolling Stone, Jones did not mince words when describing Combs, referring to him as a “monster” who would go to any lengths to get what he wants. “He doesn’t take no for an answer,” Jones told the magazine. “He [told me] himself, ‘I’ll smack my mama.’ Anybody who can say that even jokingly is a monster. He’s nothing to be played with. For a person whose brand is Love Records, and changed their name to Love and named their kid Love, he doesn’t show love. He’s just marketing.”

Jones, who was once part of Diddy’s inner circle, shared disturbing details about his time with the Bad Boy founder. He characterized Combs as more of an executive than a musician and alleged that his abuse began after he started understanding Combs’s ear for producing music. Jones recounted an unsettling experience at a Thanksgiving dinner where he believed everyone present had signed nondisclosure agreements to maintain silence.

“About 10 minutes later, Puff comes rolling in with Yung Miami and others following behind. Assistants were lighting candles, giving us cocktails,” Jones recalled. “He went in his bathroom attached to the studio and summoned me and DeForrest. He asked me if I had a $100 bill. There were three white lines on the sink. He was asking me to do something I’ve never done before. It was awkward. He was trying to get me to do some drugs. I don’t want to judge anybody, but that’s at the top of my list of things I’m afraid to do.”

According to Jones’s legal filing, this was just the tip of the iceberg. He claims to have witnessed several crimes while working closely with Combs, including an accusation that the mogul was involved in a shooting at a recording studio in 2022. Jones asserts that due to Combs’s powerful influence in the music industry, he has been forced into hiding and is unable to get any of his music picked up or distributed.

As the legal battle unfolds, the stark contrast between Jones’s allegations and Diddy’s public persona—as a businessman who rebranded himself under the “Love” moniker—continues to raise eyebrows. Diddy’s legal team has yet to comment further on the dismissal motion.

Newly unsealed legal documents have shed light on an unexpected connection between two of the most influential figures in business and entertainment: Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs and Elon Musk. According to TMZ, the Bad Boy Entertainment CEO was one of the investors who helped Musk acquire Twitter, now rebranded as X, for a staggering $44 billion in 2022.

The documents, made public on Wednesday, list nearly 100 entities as shareholders in the platform. Diddy’s involvement is noted under ‘Sean Combs Capital, LLC,’ alongside other high-profile names such as hedge fund billionaire Bill Ackman, Saudi Prince Al Waleed bin Talal Al Saud, and Twitter’s original founder, Jack Dorsey.

While the exact amount Diddy invested in the platform remains unclear, this revelation comes at a time when the music mogul is facing serious legal troubles. Diddy, once a dominant force in the music industry, is now embroiled in sexual trafficking and assault allegations, casting a shadow over his once-glittering reputation.

The disclosure of this list follows a motion filed by independent tech journalist Jacob Silverman, who sought transparency on the matter in the public’s interest. The unsealing of the shareholders’ list also coincides with ongoing legal battles between former Twitter employees and the company, who claim that Twitter violated their arbitration agreements after Musk’s takeover.

Diddy and Musk’s relationship isn’t entirely new, as the two were spotted together at a Dave Chappelle comedy show in 2022. However, the full extent of Diddy’s financial involvement in Musk’s acquisition of Twitter has only now come to light.

As of August 2024, it remains unclear who among these investors still holds shares in the company. With both men navigating turbulent times—Musk with the challenges of his X rebranding and Diddy with his legal issues—this revelation adds another layer of complexity to their public narratives.

According to a newly unsealed list of the platform’s shareholders first unveiled by The Washington Post, troubled Bad Boy founder Diddy was one of the investors who helped Elon Musk turn Twitter into X after he purchased it for $44B in 2022.

The document, which went public today (August 22), lists almost 100 entities as part-owners, with Diddy listed under the name ‘Sean Combs Capital, LLC’ alongside other notable names such as Bill Ackman, Saudi Prince Al Waleed bin Talal Al Saud and Twitter founder Jack Dorsey.

It isn’t clear how much Diddy invested, and the public is not aware of the names of current company shareholders.

The full revealing comes after U.S. District Judge Susan Illston initially granted a motion filed by independent tech journalist Jacob Silverman.

Silverman stated he was seeking transparency in the best interest of the public. Former Twitter employees have alleged in court the company violated their arbitration agreements by not paying certain fees after Musk took over, forcing the company to file for the sealed list.

50 Cent is already a titan in television and film, so why is he taking on the project of a Diddy docuseries? His answer, “Why wouldn’t I.”

In a cover story with Us Weekly highlighting the development of his legacy and empire and simply “how I got rich,” 50 details the reasoning behind making Diddy’s story his next venture.

“I’m the only person in hip-hop culture that has produced any hit television,” 50 said. “Why wouldn’t I be the person to produce it? And I’m not on the tapes. [Party videotapes were reportedly found after search warrants were executed on Diddy’s homes.] See, some of the people who have been around in the culture who are not saying anything — that’s because they’ve been to the parties, [and] they don’t know what part of their experiences are on tape. So it keeps them quiet and it looks like I’m the only guy, but I’ve been [saying] for years that something’s not right.”

TMZ reported first that Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson’s “Diddy Do It” will be a multi-part documentary. Word is Netflix won out on a hotly contested bidding war to secure the rights to the project. 

With the sexual assault allegations piling up against Diddy, the horrific video that surfaced, and the new claim that just came to light Tuesday, this documentary is shaping up to be one for the ages. Sadly, we recognize the alleged and confirmed victims, namely Cassie Ventura, who were all brave enough to speak out against Combs, may be subjected to reliving their nightmares with so much attention being given to projects like Jackson’s documentary. 

“Diddy Do It” is being produced through Jackson’s G-Unit Film and Television Studios. Several networks and, get this, all of the streaming platforms were vying for the rights to the multi-part series. It looks like the series is poised to premiere on the world’s biggest streamer soon, but no date has been announced.

The filmmaker who directed the Murder Rap documentary released a 2008 audio clip of reputed gang member and Tupac murder suspect Duane “Keefe D” Davis confessing to his involvement in Shakur’s 1996 killing, talking about his difficulty getting a $1 million payment from Diddy in exchange for carrying out the hit.

Davis claims he told Eric “Von Zip” Martin to collect the money in the days following the shooting, but this was unsuccessful.

“What’s up with the cash?” Keefe D recalled asking Zip over a month after the killing. “[Zip said], ‘[Diddy] ain’t give it to me yet.’ We need money, motherf*cker. They took our guns, all that sh*t. We need some money. They must got millions.”

Within the past year, Diddy has become one of the main figures of interest in the Tupac killing and the East Coast vs. West Coast beef of the 90s seems to be the motive of the shooting deaths of both the Notorious B.I.G. and Tupac Shakur. People have speculated on the Bay Boy mogul’s involvement in both murders, but there has been no substantial evidence until the arrest of Davis.

Davis was set to be released on a $750K secured bond as he awaits trial, however, a Nevada judge denied his attempt at making bond. With controversial Cali figure Wack 100 behind the attempt to post bond, the judge found the financial sourcing to be suspicious and denied Davis’ release.

“We are disappointed with the court’s decision to deny bail to Mr. Davis, especially considering the thorough vetting by Konvict Bail Bonds of the funding source conducted before the source hearing,” said Davis’ attorney Carl Arnold. “We firmly believe there is a lack of substantive proof that Mr. Davis intended to profit from his alleged connections to the case.”

Janice Combs, mother of music mogul Diddy, was rushed to a Miami hospital on Wednesday due to chest pains. According to TMZ, the cause of her discomfort is still unknown, and she will remain under medical observation and testing.

Diddy was present at the hospital when his mother was admitted, offering her comfort and support. An insider remarked, “He’s her comfort in this,” highlighting Diddy’s close bond with his mother during this health scare.

A source close to TMZ suggested that Janice Combs may have attributed her chest pains to the stress related to her son’s ongoing legal issues. Further details about her condition and the results of her medical tests are yet to be disclosed.

In yet another lawsuit last week, Diddy is accused of forcing a former porn star into sexual acts at his annual party in the Hamptons. According to Page Six, the former adult star, Adria English, says she was contracted as a “go-go dancer” after meeting Diddy with her boyfriend, who auditioned as a model for Sean Jean.

English, who went by the alias Omunique, was Anthony Gallo’s girlfriend, and he stated he would get the Sean John job if English worked for the Hamptons party. English noted at the first party that she was not forced to engage in sex, but in the years following, it changed.

At another party, she was informed to wear a black dress, which is believed to be a sign she was a “sex trafficked sex worker.” She stated she was forced to sleep with Jacob Arabov, known in the industry as Jacob the Jeweler.

“At the end of the night, Defendant Combs, personally congratulated Plaintiff for following his directives with Defendant Jacob and a job well done,” the lawsuit states.

English stated she went along with the request out of fear of her safety and her and her boyfriend’s future job options.

Additionally, English stated she was sexually assaulted at Diddy’s Miami parties. She eventually separated from Diddy in 2009 but was blackballed from future work opportunities.

The requested damages in the lawsuit are unspecified.

Diddy’s mother, Janice Combs, has been hospitalized for chest pains in Miami.

Janice Combs was rushed to the hospital on Wednesday with chest discomfort. According to TMZ, there are currently no details as to the cause of the pain, but she will remain under medical observation and testing. Diddy was at the hospital when she recovered.

An insider stated, “He’s her comfort in this.”

A source close to TMZ states Janice Combs associated her chest pains with a combination of stress from her son’s legal issues.

According to a recent interview with the Art Of Dialogue podcast, 1999 Club NY shooting victim, Natania Reuben says that not only was Diddy the person who pulled the trigger and not Shyne, but Reuben contends that the Bad Boy mogul intended to hire a hitman to kill her.

Reuben suffered a gunshot wound to the face during the Club NY shooting in 1999 and won a $1.8 million settlement in a civil lawsuit against the music, fashion, and spirits mogul. Former Bad Boy artist Jamal “Shyne” Barrow served eight years in prison for the shooting. However, Reuben asserts that Diddy was the one who pulled the trigger on that fateful night just days before the turn of the millennium.

In the most recent episode of The Art Of Dialogue, the shooting victim says that the troubled living legend put a hit out on her during the trial, which forced her to relocate.

“I was born in Brooklyn [and] I was raised in Brooklyn,” she said. “I had no intentions of leaving, and probably had this [not] happened, I probably would have never left, but when the District Attorney’s office gets information from one of their confidential informant sources saying that there’s a bag on my head, and I’m calling the District Attorney’s office and I’m calling everybody because I look out my window where I was living in Canarsie, Brooklyn and there’s four, stretched, blacked-out SUVs — I lived on the corner — there’s one on that corner, that corner, one in front of my house, one on the next corner.”

“What should I do? Sit there and wait for them to come get me or submit to the will of people who have my best interest and want to move me and my family to preserve my safety? […] I had businesses. Why would I pick up and just leave everything I knew but for the fact that my life depended on it?”

She also is adamant that even with her criticism of Diddy, it in no way is a claim that Shyne is innocent.

“I said on my TikTok, Shyne did not shoot me because he didn’t, but Shyne is a con artist,” Reuben said. “Everybody’s like, ‘Oh, we knew Shyne was innocent.’ No, you don’t know a damn thing because he’s far from innocent.”

Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs, the CEO of Bad Boy Entertainment, is under federal criminal investigation. Homeland Security agents raided Diddy’s homes in Los Angeles and Miami earlier this year. Now, insiders have confirmed that federal authorities in the Southern District of New York have notified Combs’ legal team about the ongoing investigation. Sources revealed that a federal grand jury is hearing evidence, although no imminent charges appear. The U.S. Attorney’s Office and Combs’ lawyers have declined to comment on the situation.

CBS News reported that while Combs is a subject of the investigation, there is no indication that prosecutors are seeking an indictment from the grand jury. Legal experts note that being the subject of an investigation implies involvement within the scope of the inquiry but does not necessarily mean charges will be brought against him.

The allegations continue to raise questions about whether Diddy will face any criminal charges.

While many of his peers were preparing for the BET Awards over the weekend, Diddy was laying low hundreds of miles away in one of the places most people would least expect to see him- Jackson, Wyoming.

Despite facing numerous lawsuits, a federal investigation, and the fallout from the recently resurfaced video of him assaulting Cassie in 2016, the embattled rapper appeared to be enjoying himself at one of the most scenic rafting spots in the nation in a video obtained by TMZ.

The disgraced mogul is seen with two friends and a guide on what appears to be a Class II rapid. River classifications are graded on a scale of I to VI with class I being smooth, flat, calm water and Class VI is the most difficult and requires special certification. (Anything above Class III also usually requires protective headgear.) According to the river company’s website (which can be seen on the side of the boat), the trip was likely eight miles long and took place on the Snake River just outside of Jackson, Wyoming (which is most well-known for being the home of the Jackson Hole Ski Resort).

On this date in 1997, the Hip Hop mogul formerly known as Puff Daddy put an album together with the entire Bad Boy Hip Hop roster and dubbed them “The Family” and released the label’s only collaborative effort, Puff Daddy and The Family’s No Way Out on the Bad Boy imprint.

Less than a year after the untimely death of the Notorious B.I.G., Diddy, who was then known as “Puff Daddy”, along with Ma$e, Black Rob, Loon and a few other Bad Boys for this monumental album.

The Grammy Award-winning album went platinum in one year with the help from tracks like “All About The Benjamins (Remix)”, “Been Around The World,” and “I’ll Be Missing You” featuring Phil Collins, dedicated to the late executive producer of the album and co-architect of the Bad Boy legacy, Notorious B.I.G.

Diddy has returned New York City’s Key to the City following a request from Mayor Eric Adams, TMZ reports.

Mayor Adams expressed deep concern over a video involving Cassie, prompting his decision to ask for the prestigious honor back. TMZ obtained letters sent to Diddy’s offices in New York and Los Angeles, detailing the Mayor’s dismay over the incident.

After Mayor Eric Adams stated he would check into revoking Diddy’s key to New York City, the city council urged him to do so.

In case you missed it, in 2023, Diddy received the key from Mayor Adams, who now states he was “deeply disturbed” by the video.

“The committee and team have never rescined a key before, but we are now sitting down to see what the next steps forward are going to be,” Adams said to Pix11. “We are taking everything under analysis and the team will come back to me with a final determination.”

Well, the committee has spoken. In a statement to TMZ, council member Sandy Nurse says, “Mayor Adams should immediately revoke Diddy’s key to the city. As an abuser, Diddy lost his right to have such an honor and should be held accountable for his actions. Mayor Adams should set the example and take it away.”

Council Member Shaun Abreu added, “Mayor Adams should snatch back Diddy’s key and slam the door behind him. We won’t be missing you.”

Diddy issued an apology on Instagram for his 2016 assault on Cassie, seen in hotel security camera footage. In response, Cassie’s lawyer released a statement.

“Combs’ most recent statement is more about himself than the many people he has hurt,” said attorney Meredith Firetog. “When Cassie and multiple other women came forward, he denied everything and suggested that his victims were looking for a payday. That he was only compelled to ‘apologize’ once his repeated denials were proven false shows his pathetic desperation, and no one will be swayed by his disingenuous words.”

2016 footage from the Intercontinental Hotel in Los Angeles shows Diddy beating Cassie in the hotel’s hallway.

In the video released by CNN, Diddy is seen running down the hotel hallway in a towel to catch Cassie as she attempts to leave in an elevator. Diddy throws Cassie to the floor by her neck, followed by kicks, stomps and an attempt to drag her down the hall by her hood.

Cassie attempted to use a hotel phone only to be pushed to the ground by Diddy again. Later in the video, he throws a vase at the singer.

Cassie’s attorney, Douglas H. Wigdor, released the following statement: “The gut-wrenching video has only further confirmed the disturbing and predatory behavior of Mr. Combs. Words cannot express the courage and fortitude that Ms. Ventura has shown in coming forward to bring this to light.”

More allegations continue to mount against Bad Boy Records founder Diddy, as a former LAPD detective who was involved in the Tupac and Biggie murder investigations recently spoke to The New York Times and says that Duane “Keefe D’ Davis accused Diddy of ordering a hit on ‘Pac and Suge Knight back in 1995.

Greg Kading says that he remembered Davis accusing Diddy of ordering a hit on 2Pac, as well as Suge Knight, back in 1995. Kading said that Keefe D told him about a meeting held in a hotel room during a Summer Jam tour, allegedly telling a room full of “Crips”, he wanted them dead. Kdaing said he also remembered Davis saying that he was offered $1 million for the murders from Mr. Combs himself.

“Man, we’ll wipe their a— out quick,” Davis allegedly replied. 

The next year, both Tupac and Suge Knight were shot on the Las Vegas strip after Shakur and the Death Row team got into a physical altercation with Keefe D’s nephew, Orlando Anderson at the MGM before the Mike Tyson fight. Knight suffered a graze wound to the head in the drive-by shooting, but Shakur succumbed to his injuries less than a week after the shooting. He was 25 years old.

In his 2019 book, Compton Street Legend, Davis claimed that he had a gun before searching the city for 2Pac and Knight. Ultimately, he admitted to giving the gun to his nephew. He alleged that Anderson went on to shoot 2Pac four times, ultimately taking his life.

Davis is set for trial for the murder of Shakur in Las Vegas this month.

In a separate clip, Quincy ignored the paparazzi on his stroll, only offering a message of blessings.

According to TMZ, Diddy missed his 17-year-old daughter Chance’s graduation at Sierra Canyon High School in the Los Angeles Area. Diddy reportedly communicated he would not be in attendance.

Chance’s half-siblings and Kim Porter’s family are expected to attend. Diddy fathered Chance with Sarah Chapman.

Diddy also missed the junior proms for his twin daughters, Jessie and D’Lila. The mogul reportedly lives in Miami, and all the celebrations took place in California.

Diddy is subject to a federal investigation, but his travel has not been hindered.

Fif took his Diddy trolling on the road, this time in Miami’s Little Havana at a spot called Dead Flamingo Pop Up where “Diddy Roast” was scheduled to take place and 50 Cent pulled up just to see if the Bad Boy himself was in the building.

50 even posed for pics with fans and passed around shots of his Branson Cognac, then took to IG about his Diddy adventure. “Yes, I was in attendance I thought puffy might show up because I saw Tom Brady at his. [shrug emoji] he didn’t come, I had the shooters [camera emoji] get your mind out gutter videographers [eyes emoji] what!”

The Diddy roast was actually a fundraiser for the National Domestic Violence Hotline and although 50 didn’t get on the stage, it featured sets from local Miami comedians Lonnie Cox, Ricky Cruz and Drew Illa.

Some of the jabs sounded like, “Sean Combs got his nickname ‘Puffy’ because that’s how he leaves his girlfriends after every relationship.”

Brittany Brave, the emcee at the event, also spoke about how comedy helped her out of an abusive relationship.

“[The Diddy scandal] is topical right now so it made sense to join the conversation in a productive way,” she said. “Comedy is what pulled me out of an abusive relationship that lasted for three years and it continues to help all of us make sense of life, especially the parts of it that sting.”

Certain pockets of the music industry are wondering where are The Carters? According to Page Six, Beyoncé and JAY-Z are rumored to be keeping a low profile amidst Diddy’s scandal, despite Hov being seen for involvement in soccer, the NFL and more.

An insider says the two were not trying to show their face due to their close friendship association with the disgraced Bad Boy Records mogul.

“This was supposed to be Beyoncé’s time, with her much-anticipated country album out [just] two months ago. And yet, she is nowhere to be seen. The album is slipping and Jay and B aren’t reveling in the spotlight,” said an insider. “About a month before the [March 29] release, Jay-Z got up at the Grammys and whined that Beyoncé had never won Album of the Year. But now what? Does he think she will win . . . for ‘Cowboy Carter’ with no promotion . . . no appearances and no wooing of the academy?”

The insider added, “Something is going on. It came out with a bang. No. 1 everywhere. [Now] it and she have disappeared.”

There are currently no allegations or connections of wrongdoings to The Carters.

Popular music mogul Sean Diddy Combs has been making headlines recently due to ongoing allegations of sexual assault and abuse from multiple women he has been involved with in the past. The latest developments have intensified scrutiny and raised questions about his conduct, particularly after a disturbing video surfaced.

On May 17, 2024, CNN released footage showing Diddy assaulting his ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura in a hotel room. The video captures the harrowing moments where Diddy is seen grabbing, shoving, and kicking Ventura as she attempts to escape and calls for help. This footage has provided visual confirmation of the allegations made by Ventura, indicating that Diddy may indeed be guilty of the accusations.

In a recent development, Jake Porter, the father of the late Kim Porter, who had an on-and-off relationship with Diddy from 1994 to 2007, expressed his disgust after viewing the violent video involving Cassie Ventura. Speaking to Rolling Stone, Porter did not hold back his revulsion.

“You can say I was disgusted with the video, and I wouldn’t treat my enemy like that,” Porter stated. “It was despicable. I couldn’t believe it. I was in Vietnam, and I wouldn’t do that to my enemy.”

Porter clarified that while he never witnessed Diddy physically harm his daughter Kim, the video has shifted his perspective on Diddy’s character. He expressed shock and disappointment, saying, “I didn’t know he could stoop that low. I imagine it surprised a lot of people. I wouldn’t even do a dog like that. My heart goes out to Cassie.”

Kim Porter, who was the mother of Diddy’s son Christian and twin daughters Jesse and D’Lila, had a tumultuous relationship with Diddy, largely marred by his alleged infidelity. Kim also had a son, Quincy, with the singer Al B. Sure. She and Diddy split up due to his infidelity and other issues before her untimely death on November 15, 2018, from lobar pneumonia in California.

Porter commented on their relationship, noting, “They both loved each other. Kim’s love was legitimate. Puffy’s love, I don’t know what he calls love, you know what I mean? I really don’t think he has any idea what love is.”

Jake Porter’s primary concern now lies with his grandchildren, who have not publicly commented on their father’s legal issues. Despite the troubling revelations, Diddy has attempted to address the situation, apologizing in an Instagram video following the release of the assault footage.

As the allegations against Diddy continue to unfold, the music industry and his fans are left grappling with the implications of these serious accusations. The impact on his career and personal life remains to be seen, but the gravity of the situation has undoubtedly cast a shadow over his legacy.

In the most recent episode of Collect Call with Suge Knight hosted by his son Legend Knight, the former Death Row CEO claims that it has always been well known, specifically within the Hip Hop industry and his own crew, that Diddy was a known government informant.

“It’s a lot of things that people been knowing, and everybody gets judged differently,” he said at the 12:15 mark of the interview. “It shouldn’t be a grey area when it comes to doing something right, doing something positive, or doing something for the community. That being said, naturally, Puffy been an FBI informant forever, as they would say. That’s why it’s different when it comes to him.”

Suge goes on, “Regardless of who gets hurt, all everybody been saying is ‘Puffy, Puffy, Puffy.’ I think they shouldn’t all blame everything on Puffy. His exes in the industry knew about it. Everybody in his crew knew about it. The bitches he dates knew about it. Everybody knew about it. So don’t push away from it now.”

Suge also adds on in other parts of the interview to why he feels like outsiders are taking advantage of all the West Coast’s resources and wants to see the West become more united. He shouts Kendrick Lamar and DJ Mustard along with some of the artists he feels are representing well. Suge moves on to talk about the case that has him currently serving 28 years in prison. He provides new insights into why he took the deal he did and lets us know he’s got a new lawyer working to help him get back home soon.

Ray J is completely done with Diddy. Speaking with Shannon Sharpe on the Club Shay Shay podcast, Ray J acknowledges that “everybody messes up,” but he and Diddy “can’t be cool after that.”

Expanding on the matter, Ray J said: “It’s unforgiveable, it’s too much. Never being able to be around us and our world ’cause we don’t condone that is definitely a fact.”

Furthermore, Ray J thinks Diddy needs a public “whipping,” suggesting, “100 lashes, 1,000 lashes. That would help.”

According to TMZ, Diddy will miss his 17-year-old daughter Chance’s graduation at Sierra Canyon High School in the Los Angeles Area. Diddy reportedly communicated he would not be in attendance.

Chance’s half-siblings and Kim Porter’s family are expected to attend. Diddy fathered Chance with Sarah Chapman.

Diddy also missed the junior proms for his twin daughters, Jessie and D’Lila. The mogul reportedly lives in Miami, and all the celebrations took place in California.

Diddy is subject to a federal investigation, but his travel has not been hindered.

Boosie Badazz is back in the Vlad TV seat and discussing Diddy’s recent fall. One of Boosie’s main questions is: Where are Diddy’s famous friends?

“Kind of torn in between the two right now, because I feel like his friends– they knew all along,” he said. “How I was raised, bro? and I’m going tell you this, a lot of people might not like this: I wouldn’t give a damn if I beat my bitch. I’m still standing up for my partner. If he beat his bitch, that’s they shit. That’s how we was raised in the ghetto.”

He added, “With how I was raised, if you beat your bitch, that’s your problem. It never made me say ‘You’re not my friend anymore.’ That’s what I stand on. I always stand on wrong or wrong, right or right, you my friend and I probably was raised a fucked up way.”

Voletta Wallace has seen all of the discourse about Diddy in the past months and says she wants to “slap the daylights out of him.”

Speaking with Rolling Stone, Wallace stated the accusations, videos and more levied against Combs made her “sick to my stomach.” She added, “I’m praying for Cassie. I’m praying for his mother. I don’t want to believe the things that I’ve heard, but I’ve seen [the hotel video]. I pray that he apologizes to her.”

Wallace would also say, “I hope that I see Sean one day and the only thing I want to do is slap the daylights out of him.

“And you can quote me on that. Because I liked him. I didn’t want to believe all the awful things, but I’m so ashamed and embarrassed.”

The relationship between The Notorious B.I.G. and Diddy was reportedly not as glamorous as it seemed. In a new report from Rolling Stone, Biggie was in a legal battle with the Bad Boy mogul before his murder.

The report states Biggie was attempting to gain control of his career. Photographer Monique Bunn revealed Biggie “was absolutely about to leave Puff. I know for a fact, he told me that.”

The Notorious B.I.G. would get murdered, and with a Rolling Stone cover on the table at the time, former Bad Boy co-founder and president Kirk Burrowes suggested Biggie get the cover. Diddy declined that idea, wanting to take the moment for himself.

“I was telling Sean, ‘Let’s make it Biggie. You still have a chance [for a cover in the future],'” Burrowes recalled. “He’s like ‘No, he’s dead. I’m putting out [No Way Out] in July. I need to be on the cover of Rolling Stone.”

The cover is available below.

On a recent episode of comedian Andrew Schulz’s Flagrant podcast, The Breakfast Club co-host and culture critic Charlemagne Tha God alleges that Diddy got troubled talk show host Wendy Williams fired from Hot 97 over claims that the Bad Boy founder was homosexual.

Charlemagne delves into the almost thirty-year history between his mentor, Williams, and Diddy.

“Wendy’s whole thing was Diddy was gay,” Charlamagne said. “That’s why Wendy got fired from Hot 97. Wendy got fired from Hot 97 by Diddy ’cause that’s when Bad Boy was smoking hot. She got fired for putting that out there.”

The former Wendy Williams Show host supposedly had a photo of Diddy in an intimate situation with another man, suggesting that Diddy was gay, which ultimately got her fired from the radio station in 1998.

See the Flagrant podcast statement HERE

Former Bad Boy bodyguard Gene Deal spoke about Williams’ firing in a 2022 interview with Art Of Dialogue.

“The power [Diddy] had with the radio stations in New York, motherfuckers didn’t breathe hard if [Diddy] didn’t want them to,” he said.“[Diddy] got one of the hottest DJs off Hot 97 because she wanted to put up a picture of him getting his pants pulled down. [Diddy] told Hot 97 if they didn’t get rid of her before he got back in New York, that they was not going to get any music from any of his friends, any of the record labels executives that was cool with him. Everyone was going to boycott their station.”

There have been rumors about Diddy’s sexuality for years, however, most recently in his sexual assault lawsuit, producer Lil Rod claims the mogul groped him and tried to groom him into having sex with fellow producer Stevie J.

Well, if you thought Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs’ star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame was going to be removed amid mounting accusations, think again. Sources say it will remain in place despite numerous calls for its removal amid his ongoing legal troubles.

Yes, the 54-year-old rapper and music mogul faces a growing number of sexual assault lawsuits, leading many people from all over the spectrum to demand the removal of his star. However, a Hollywood Chamber of Commerce spokesperson told TMZ that the organization is “powerless” to remove stars once installed on Hollywood Boulevard. The Chamber only has the authority to nominate, manufacture, and install stars, not to remove them.

ICYMI, Combs was honored with the 2,362nd star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in May 2008, with actor Jamie Foxx introducing him at the ceremony. Foxx praised Combs, saying, “He throws the best party you’ve ever seen in your life,” and added, “This is big. This is legendary. And they’ll never be able to take this away from you.”

Despite the increasing number of lawsuits and a federal criminal investigation, Combs’ star is set to stay … For now. He has previously denied the sexual assault allegations, asserting that his accusers are seeking a “payday.” Yea, but there’s the tape …

Last week, incriminating footage emerged showing Combs violently attacking Ventura in a 2016 hotel surveillance video. Following the video’s release, Combs issued a public apology, which was met with skepticism and anger from social media users who questioned the sincerity of his remorse.

Get this: Ventura broke her silence on Thursday, urging people to “open your heart to believe victims the first time” amid accusations of lying about the abuse, including from Combs himself.

The Los Angeles County District Attorney stated they could not prosecute Combs for the assault due to the statute of limitations. Ventura had previously claimed in a now-settled lawsuit that Combs paid the hotel $50,000 for the footage after the attack.

In the wake of the aftermath, even more women have come forward with sexual assault allegations against Combs, dating back decades. One recent lawsuit, filed by April Lampros, alleges that Combs sexually assaulted her multiple times during the 1990s and early 2000s, according to court documents obtained by the Daily Mail. All that seemingly heinous and allegedly criminal behavior aside, his Hollywood star will remain.

Word from behind the walls of Diddy states the Bad Boy mogul is pointing to an “agenda” against him. The report comes from The New York Post in reaction to the video of Diddy’s assault on Cassie in a hotel in 2016.

A source stated Diddy is “incensed” about the video release.

“He insists it doesn’t tell the full story about what happened,” the insider stated. “Not that he’s excusing it, but he says that it’s a selected video.

“It’s his position that there was an agenda in releasing the video when it was released. But ultimately, he knows that his big concern is the raids on his house; the Cassie video is just a distraction.”

Additionally, Diddy is the subject of yet another lawsuit from a woman. According to TMZ, model Crystal McKinney met Diddy at Men’s Fashion Week in 2003 when she was 22.

According to McKinney, Diddy invited her to the studio, where she engaged in drinking and smoking weed, which she believes was laced with narcotics, leading to her being disorientated.

That moment was followed by being forced into a bathroom, where she was then forced to perform oral sex, eventually losing consciousness and waking up in a taxi.

McKinney stated she was subjected to a modeling industry blackball and attempted suicide in 2004.

McKinney says her suit was inspired by Cassie’s and the feeling of having “a moral obligation to speak up.”

Chaka Khan’s daughter, Indira Khan, posted on Instagram that she is “singing and dancing” while watching Diddy’s demise.

What caused this? According to her, Diddy screamed in the legend’s face, and when her son attempted to intervene, the mogul’s security jumped him.

You can read the entire message from Indira Khan below.

Chaka Khan’s daughter shares a comment under Diddy’s apology video:

“I'm glad this is happening to you, you got in my mothers face and publicly disrespected her yelling and screaming like a lunatic when my little brother tried to get you out of my mothers face your security… https://t.co/FCi0hJ7PKL pic.twitter.com/iDXrSOXhvk

It looks like 50 Cent’s nonstop trolling of his arch-rival Diddy is paying dividends. He just scored a big win for his much-hyped documentary film project based on the beleaguered Bad Boy mogul’s legal drama.

TMZ reported first that Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson’s “Diddy Do It” will be a multi-part documentary. Word is Netflix won out on a hotly contested bidding war to secure the rights to the project. 

With the sexual assault allegations piling up against Diddy, the horrific video that surfaced, and the new claim that just came to light Tuesday, this documentary is shaping up to be one for the ages. Sadly, we recognize the alleged and confirmed victims, namely Cassie Ventura, who were all brave enough to speak out against Combs, may be subjected to reliving their nightmares with so much attention being given to projects like Jackson’s documentary. 

“Diddy Do It” is being produced through Jackson’s G-Unit Film and Television Studios. Several networks and, get this, all of the streaming platforms were vying for the rights to the multi-part series. It looks like the series is poised to premiere on the world’s biggest streamer soon, but no date has been announced.

What’s wild is that Diddy’s drama unfolds in real time. Just Tuesday, Combs was hit with yet another civil suit. Yes, again. Model Crystal McKinney has come forward accusing Diddy of a sexual assault dating back to 2003.

With Diddy’s so-called apology going down last week after the revelation of hotel security footage, one has to ask: Is 50 going to include all of this breaking news in the documentary, or is it already in the can? I guess we’ll have to wait and see on Netflix.

In the age of streaming platforms vying for content, Netflix has emerged triumphant in securing a highly anticipated docuseries delving into the tumultuous allegations surrounding rap mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs. Months of speculation and social media buzz have finally resulted in the revelation that Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson’s production company, G-Unit Film & Television, will spearhead this riveting exposé, set to unravel the intricate web of accusations against Combs.
The genesis of this project traces back to December when Jackson first hinted at the possibility of shedding light on the dark shadows clouding Combs’ legacy.

Fueling the anticipation, faux posters teasing a documentary began circulating on social media, igniting fervent discussions among netizens. Amidst the buzz, Jackson confirmed in a tweet that Netflix had emerged victorious in the heated “bidding war,” securing the rights to the series. However, with a poignant caveat, Jackson acknowledged that should more victims come forward, the narrative might necessitate additional episodes—a testament to the gravity of the allegations at hand.
Central to the documentary’s focus are the distressing accounts of sexual abuse, rape, and sex trafficking leveled against Combs by multiple women over the past six months.

Combs, vehemently denying these claims, finds himself ensnared in a storm of accusations, with the latest lawsuit surfacing on the very day of Netflix’s announcement. The documentary promises an unflinching examination of these allegations, juxtaposed against Combs’ staunch denials.
Testimonies of individuals once entrenched within Combs’ inner circle, including former rapper Mark Curry, who divulged unsettling anecdotes from their time under Combs’ tutelage. Notably, lyrics from a Rick Ross song, eerily echoing themes of drugging and sexual assault, underscore the chilling allegations permeating the documentary’s discourse.

A pivotal moment occurred with the release of surveillance footage depicting Combs’ altercation with his former girlfriend, R&B singer Casandra Ventura—a visual testament to the dynamics overshadowing their relationship. Combs’ subsequent apology video signifies a recognition of past transgressions, yet leaves lingering questions regarding accountability. Netflix’s decision to greenlight this docuseries reflects a commitment to amplifying voices long silenced by power dynamics within the industry.

After Mayor Eric Adams stated he would check into revoking Diddy’s key to New York City, the city council is urging him to do so.

In case you missed it, in 2023, Diddy received the key from Mayor Adams, who now states he was “deeply disturbed” by the video.

“The committee and team have never rescined a key before, but we are now sitting down to see what the next steps forward are going to be,” Adams said to Pix11. “We are taking everything under analysis and the team will come back to me with a final determination.”

Well, the committee has spoken. In a statement to TMZ, council member Sandy Nurse says, “Mayor Adams should immediately revoke Diddy’s key to the city. As an abuser, Diddy lost his right to have such an honor and should be held accountable for his actions. Mayor Adams should set the example and take it away.”

Council Member Shaun Abreu added, “Mayor Adams should snatch back Diddy’s key and slam the door behind him. We won’t be missing you.”

Diddy issued an apology on Instagram for his 2016 assault on Cassie, seen in hotel security camera footage. In response, Cassie’s lawyer released a statement.

“Combs’ most recent statement is more about himself than the many people he has hurt,” said attorney Meredith Firetog. “When Cassie and multiple other women came forward, he denied everything and suggested that his victims were looking for a payday. That he was only compelled to ‘apologize’ once his repeated denials were proven false shows his pathetic desperation, and no one will be swayed by his disingenuous words.”

2016 footage from the Intercontinental Hotel in Los Angeles shows Diddy beating Cassie in the hotel’s hallway.

In the video released by CNN, Diddy is seen running down the hotel hallway in a towel to catch Cassie as she attempts to leave in an elevator. Diddy throws Cassie to the floor by her neck, followed by kicks, stomps and an attempt to drag her down the hall by her hood.

Cassie attempted to use a hotel phone only to be pushed to the ground by Diddy again. Later in the video, he throws a vase at the singer.

Cassie’s attorney, Douglas H. Wigdor, released the following statement: “The gut-wrenching video has only further confirmed the disturbing and predatory behavior of Mr. Combs. Words cannot express the courage and fortitude that Ms. Ventura has shown in coming forward to bring this to light.”

Sports host and former Roc-A-Fella rapper Cam’ron appeared on CNN yesterday(May 20) for an interview about the disturbing 2016 video of Diddy assaulting Cassie in the InterContinental Hotel in L.A. and to say that the sit down did not go as planned by the news giant is an understatement.

Newsnight host Abby Phillip didn’t take waste time questioning the Dipset founder about Diddy and whether or not Cam noticed the man in the surveillance video to which Cam sharply responded, “I don’t know him like that. What do you mean did I recognize him? I seen him. What do you mean my experiences?” The interview seemed to take the most unexpected turn when Phillip asked Cam about the Bad Boy mogul’s disgraceful apology video, where Diddy said he was sorry for his actions, but he did not apologize directly to Cassie because their settlement doesn’t allow him to say Cassie’s name in public.

Cam, in a frustrated tone, replied to Phillip, “The apology ain’t for me to decide, it’s for Cassie. He ain’t do nothing for me. What I think about it don’t matter.” In the middle of their banter, Cam takes down a shot of PinkHorsePower, a sexual enhancement drink popular in NYC bodegas, with Cam proudly boasting he was going to get “some cheeks” after downing the shot.

Phillip didn’t make things better when she asked if the rap industry protected DIddy from being held accountable for his heinous actions. In the most embarrassing manner for the network, Cam asked, “Who booked me for this joint?”
