Sean “Diddy” Combs has been embroiled in several legal cases and accusations that have gained significant media attention throughout 2023 and 2024. The most prominent allegations come from his former partner, singer Cassie (Cassandra Ventura), who accused him of years of sexual, physical, and emotional abuse. These accusations included claims of rape, physical assault, and manipulation, with Cassie alleging that Combs subjected her to a “lifestyle” involving excessive substance abuse and coerced her into participating in disturbing sexual acts with others. Combs denied these allegations but quickly settled the lawsuit, while continuing to maintain his innocence publicly.
Despite Combs’ legal team describing the lawsuits as “fictional” and exaggerated, the fallout has been severe. Combs has faced both personal and professional consequences, including the loss of honorary degrees, sponsorships, and other accolades. Notably, Howard University revoked his honorary degree, and New York Mayor Eric Adams asked him to return the key to the city after a video surfaced showing Combs physically assaulting Cassie in 2016.
The outcome of these legal battles remains unresolved, but the public scrutiny surrounding Combs is intensifying, with numerous figures in the entertainment world distancing themselves from him as more allegations emerge.
