Diddy Faces New Sexual Assault Case

Posted on by Ozymandias

Embattled rapper Sean “Diddy” Combs is facing fresh allegations of sexual assault, with a new complaint filed in New York by former porn star Adria English. This is the latest in a series of lawsuits against the star in recent months.

Combs, one of rap’s most successful moguls, has consistently denied all allegations of sexual assault and physical abuse, including these new accusations. According to NBC News, he is also reportedly the subject of a federal criminal investigation, though no charges appear imminent.

Combs’s legal troubles intensified following accusations by ex-girlfriend Cassandra “Cassie” Ventura in November. Earlier this year, he apologized after footage emerged showing him attacking Ventura in a hotel hallway in 2016.

The new case alleges that Combs “forced and coerced (Ms. English) to engage in sex work for him” at parties and threatened to ruin her career if she did not comply. The 114-page filing includes a total of 33 allegations against Combs and his associates, detailing events from 2004 to 2009.

Combs’s lawyer told US media, “No matter how many lawsuits are filed, it won’t change the fact that Mr. Combs has never sexually assaulted or sex trafficked anyone.” The statement added that “Mr. Combs is confident he will prevail against these and other baseless claims in court.”

Ms. English is the latest in a string of women to accuse Combs, following a lawsuit by Ms. Ventura that was settled in November for an undisclosed sum. Ventura had accused him of rape and sexual trafficking over a decade. Combs’s team clarified that the settlement was not an admission of wrongdoing.

Since then, various allegations of sexual and physical abuse have been made against the rapper. His homes in Los Angeles and Miami, Florida, were raided earlier this year as part of a federal investigation into human trafficking.

According to NBC News, Combs’s team has been notified that he is the subject of an ongoing federal criminal investigation. Details of the investigation have not been revealed, and neither federal officials nor Combs’s legal team have commented specifically on the matter.

American rapper Sean “Diddy” Combs has apologized to his fans following the release of a 2016 hotel surveillance video that allegedly shows him physically assaulting his ex-girlfriend, Cassie Ventura.

The footage, obtained by CNN, was filmed at a Los Angeles hotel on March 5, 2016. In the video, a man identified by CNN as Combs is seen chasing Ventura down a hallway, grabbing her by the back of the neck, pushing her to the ground, and kicking her as she lies on the floor. He then drags her across the floor by her sweatshirt.

The video’s release sparked widespread outrage on the internet, with many condemning the apparent harassment.

In response, Diddy posted a video on Instagram on Sunday, May 19, acknowledging the footage and apologizing for his actions. “It’s so hard to reflect on the darkest times in your life, but sometimes you have to. I hit rock bottom, but I make no excuses,” he said. “My behavior in the video is inexcusable. I take full responsibility for my actions. I was disgusted then when I did it. I’m disgusted now. I have sought professional help,” he continued, adding that he has attended therapy and rehab. “I had to ask God for mercy and grace. I’m so sorry. But I’m committed to being a better person every day. I’m not asking for forgiveness. I’m truly sorry,” he concluded.

Cassie Ventura’s lawyers have criticized Diddy’s apology. Meredith Firetog, a partner at Wigdor LLP, stated, “Combs’ latest statement is more about himself than the many people he has hurt. When Cassie and several other women came forward, he denied everything and suggested that his victims were looking for a payday. That he was only forced to ‘apologize’ when his repeated denials were proven false shows his pathetic desperation and no one will be swayed by his disingenuous words.”

Diddy is currently facing several lawsuits, including one filed by Cassie in November 2023.

Diamond tells the story of how he entertained P Diddy.

Tanzanian musician Diamond Platnumz recently shared details about his encounter with P Diddy in the US approximately two years ago. Speaking at a press conference, Diamond revealed that he visited the star at his studios in the US, accompanied by music producer Swiss Beatz, who is married to Alicia Keys.

“In one of my visits to the US, I was with Swiss Beatz and Babu Tale. He welcomed us into his studio, and we had a meal together. His family, kids, and some of his new artists were also present at the time,” Diamond recounted.

“He offered advice on various aspects of music. I hold him in high regard as a music guru with extensive knowledge of the industry. I gained valuable insights from our interaction,” he added.

When questioned about the controversies surrounding Diddy, Diamond refrained from passing judgment, stating, “I cannot judge him. The authorities will make the decision, and I will observe like everyone else.”

Regarding how he manages to avoid similar controversies, Diamond emphasized the separation between his music career, social media presence, and personal life.

“My inner circle understands that my music career, social media activities, and personal life are distinct entities,” he explained.

He expressed frustration with critics, stating, “Despite being a frequent topic of discussion in Tanzania, I refrain from engaging with detractors. I have developed resilience. Write whatever you want; I will not respond unless you cross a line. In such cases, I may send a cease and desist letter. I don’t even demand compensation because some remarks could result in severe legal consequences.”

Tanzanian sensation Diamond Platnumz has finally opened up about his meeting with American rap mogul Sean Combs, also known as Puff Daddy, P. Diddy, or simply Diddy.

In a recent interview, Diamond shed some light on his rendezvous with Diddy, which occurred during the previous US elections. Although the specifics of their interaction remain somewhat mysterious, Diamond hinted at its significance, suggesting that certain details were intentionally kept private due to their potential impact in the future.

“We visited Diddy one day before the US elections. We met him at night, and we spent some time there. There are things we did, but those are not things we can post on social media because we have a future,” Diamond revealed during the interview.

Diamond’s manager, Babu Tale, provided additional insight into the journey to Diddy’s residence, facilitated by American record producer Swiss Beatz.

“Swiss Beatz is like our brother; he calls us his Muslim brothers. He is so proud of Diamond Platnumz. He took us to Diddy’s house. Swiss asked us to stay outside as he tells Diddy that he has come with visitors,” Tale recounted to Millard Ayo.

Tale described the awe-inspiring level of security surrounding Diddy’s residence, noting it was a stark departure from their usual experiences.

“We are used to walking with well-built security, but Diddy’s security even had guns,” Tale remarked.

Upon entering Diddy’s mansion, they found themselves immersed in an atmosphere of creative energy, with Diddy engrossed in his craft, surrounded by collaborators.

“He was being massaged by a lady, and on the mic was another lady singing. He asked Diamond how Africa was, was it a jungle or is it a city,” Tale recalled.

“He then let us into his mansion; we met his two kids and Kanye West’s manager, who is the brother of Akon,” Tale added.

Tale confessed that they were so engrossed in the experience that they forgot to take any photos while there.

“We enjoyed it and didn’t even remember to take photos,” he admitted.

While Diamond Platnumz and his team cherished the memory of their encounter with the rap icon, Diamond himself is currently entangled in a series of legal battles. Since November, he has faced multiple civil lawsuits alleging various forms of misconduct, including accusations of sexual impropriety and other illegal activities.
