Diddy’s Legal Team Allege Prosecuting Lawyer Is Using Case For Publicity

October 14, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Tony Buzbee has become a central character in the Diddy legal saga. The lawyer has decided to take on several of Diddy’s accusers, with new lawsuits being filed seemingly every week. This approach has not sat well with the mogul’s legal team, however. The lawyers representing Diddy took Buzbee to task in a Monday interview with TMZ. They told the outlet that the horrific accusations leveled at Diddy by Tony Buzbee’s clients are baseless. Furthermore, they allege that Buzbee is merely using the case to boost his own public profile.

Diddy’s legal team pointed to Buzbee’s hotline as proof of an example of a Buzbee publicity stunt. The hotline was set up to field allegations from alleged Diddy victims. The hotline gained loads of attention after it was reported that it received 12K calls in the first day of operation. “The press conference and 1-800 number that preceded today’s barrage of filings were clear attempts to garner publicity,” Diddy’s team told TMZ. In addition to raising doubts about Buzbee’s intentions, the team asserted that the mogul is not guilty of the crimes he has been accused of.

“In court, the truth will prevail,” they asserted. “That Mr. Combs has never sexually assaulted anyone — adult or minor, man or woman.” The timing of the public statement makes sense, given that Tony Buzbee filed six lawsuits earlier the same day. Some of the lawsuits include allegations that rank among the most disturbing leveled at Diddy yet. One accuser alleged that they attended a Diddy party in 1998, when he they only 16 years old. The accuser alleged that the mogul offered to help him break into the music industry, if he agreed to drop his pants and allow the mogul to touch his genitals.

Six may sound like a lot, but Tony Buzbee appears to be just getting started. The lawyer previously told TMZ that he plans to represent over 120 clients. All of them have alleged physical or sexual abuse at the hands of Diddy. He assured the outlet his firm is doing their “due diligence” to ensure that none of their clients are making false claims.

Diddy Hit With Disturbing New Lawsuits From Men Alleging Sexual Assault

October 14, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Tony Buzbee continues to launch lawsuits alleging misconduct against Diddy, as he will represent about 120 of the Bad Boy mogul’s alleged victims. Moreover, according to a TMZ report, Buzbee filed six separate lawsuits recently, four of which are from male accusers. One of them is from a man who worked at Ecko Clothing in 2008 and allegedly met Sean Combs as he developed Sean John as a competing clothing brand. The man alleges that the executive and three of his bodyguards ran into him in the stockroom of a Macy’s in New York City. He alleges that someone hit him in the back of his neck with their pistol, and that Combs said “Suck my d**k, Ecko” before orally assaulting him.

Another man alleges that he worked as a security guard for Diddy’s White Party in 2006 and drank a cocktail spiked with GBH and/or ecstasy. Then, he alleges, the former Diageo partner forcibly took him to a van and sodomized him without consent. In another lawsuit filed by Tony Buzbee, a man alleged that he went to one of Combs’ parties in 2021 and that he became disoriented due to a drink. He also alleged that the next thing he remembers is being paralyzed in a room, where three men allegedly sexually assaulted him and sodomized him. The man allegedly “distinctly recalled” seeing a naked Puff standing over him.

The fourth lawsuit in question comes from a man who alleges that he went to Diddy’s 1998 White Party in the Hamptons when he was just 16 years old. After allegedly taking a photo together, the man alleges that Puffy took him to a private area to tell him to take his pants off to see his penis. “Don’t you want to break into the business?” he allegedly asked the man, since they allegedly spoke of turning the alleged then-16-year-old into a star. The man says that he dropped his pants, and that the now-54-year-old squeezed his genitals.

Other stories floating around the Diddy scandal concern Donald Trump allegedly defending him against Aubrey O’Day back in the day. All situations above remain allegations, and the parties involved have not addressed them publicly at press time.

Bow Wow Claims That Diddy Scandal Has Killed The Celebrity Party Scene

October 13, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Bow Wow is one of many celebrities who recently reflected on how the Diddy scandal has impacted pop culture as a whole. The Bad Boy mogul’s federal charges for alleged sex trafficking, plus many other civil allegations, remained unconfirmed and unverified at press time. But the Columbus native shared on the More 2 The Story podcast that Sean Combs’ absence also impacted the prevalence of normal celebrity parties.

“Never. I just never thought I would see it like this,” Bow Wow’s comments on Diddy began. “Like, nah. Nah. He’s like the gatekeeper to the game. To the point to where… What weekend just passed? Like, BET Award weekends. Like, the past two days just didn’t feel right. ‘Cause there was no motion, there was no parties. There was nowhere to go. Like – no, the industry parties that we attend, [not the ‘freak-offs’]. Like, me, the you [the interviewer], the terraces. Once again, I’m separating it, right? I’m talking about him as the artist, the person, right?

“[It shows] how monumental and how important he was to the culture,” Bow Wow continued concerning Diddy. “Because I said, ‘Jermaine, I just, there’s no parties.’ Every year, dude had the – And you feel it. It’s like a hole, it’s like, ‘Damn.’ He was just such a gatekeeper, from the liquor in the clubs. Like, he was everything hip-hop. You know what I mean? So for that to die out, it’s like, you just would’ve never thought. Especially when you look at somebody as somebody you studied, somebody you idolized, somebody who you looked at like, ‘Yo. When it comes to hustle, when it comes to business, and how to run your s**t?’

“It’s like, he was the guy that every young hustler looked up to and wanted to either be like or wanted to… ‘Nah, I’ma pass this n***a.’ Like, I want to pass this n***a,” Bow Wow said of Diddy. “Like, he just makes me…. He just stepped your hustle game up, you know what I mean? So it’s sad and it’s messed up that we got to witness this in this time. But it’s f***ed up. Oh, absolutely, 100%, [I got to sympathize for his kids, too].”

Diddy’s Ex Bodyguard Claims Jay-Z Allegedly Hid From 2Pac In A Vegas Hotel Room

October 12, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Gene Deal, who used to be a bodyguard for Diddy, has relayed a lot of allegations and claims about the Bad Boy mogul amid his massive scandal. But not every one of his hip-hop history recollections have to do with Sean Combs. For example, Deal recently sat down with Cam Capone News and told a curious story about Jay-Z and a Las Vegas concert he had in the late 1990s. Allegedly, the New York rapper received news that Tupac Shakur heard about his Vegas show, and this was at the height of the East Coast and West Coast beef also involving Biggie, Bad Boy, Death Row… You know the story.

“I don’t know how Pac found out that Jay-Z had a show, but Jay-Z was not coming out that room,” Diddy’s former bodyguard alleged. According to his claims, some people had to step in and help. These include Chaz Williams, Big D, Eric B, and finally Suge Knight. “Suge said, ‘Yo, man, that ain’t me. That’s Pac with his wild a**.’ Suge Knight told Pac to give Jay-Z a pass so he could go do his concert, because Jay wasn’t coming out of that room, you know, to do nothing,” Gene Deal claimed.

Diddy’s Former Bodyguard Tells Alleged Jay-Z & Tupac Story

However, this isn’t the first time that Gene Deal has told this alleged story, as he did so on The Art Of Dialogue in 2022. Still, nothing then and nothing now corroborates or backs any of this up, so this isn’t straight-up fact. Deal also speculated that, while he doesn’t really know why Tupac Shakur supposedly wanted to confront Jay-Z, he thinks that it could be as a result of Hov’s “Brooklyn’s Finest” collab with Biggie Smalls from 1996’s Reasonable Doubt.

Funnily enough, Irv Gotti told Fat Joe in 2020 that he warned Jay-Z to not record that track. “I was dead set against it,” he shared. “I was telling Jay, ‘Don’t do it, don’t do it.’ And he was like, ‘Why?’ I was like, ‘Big, he’s too strong. Before we take over the world, we gotta take over the West Coast. Before we take over the West Coast, we gotta take over the East Coast, before we take over the East Coast, we gotta take over New York, before we take over New York, you got to take over Brooklyn. And he owns all that.’ And I was like, ‘This n***a’s not a wack n***a.’ I was in fear like, ‘Yo, you may came off like his little man,’ you understand?”

Stephen A Smith Gets Dragged For His Outrageous Theory About Diddy Trial

October 12, 2024 by newhiphopnews

While he’s mostly known for his sports commentary, Stephen A Smith just ruffled a lot of feathers with his thoughts on the Diddy trial. Specifically, Smith addressed the court’s use of evidence and the court of public opinion. “Of course, his mother Janice Combs showed up, walking into the federal courthouse as well,” he remarked on his self-titled show. “So his family’s there in full support of him. I was just taken aback by them making noise about the [Cassie] video being leaked. ‘Cause I was like, ‘How the hell is that gon’ help them?’ But in the end, when you really think about it, it does kind of help him in the court of public opinion.

“‘Cause whenever a Black man is being prosecuted,” Stephen A. Smith continued concerning Diddy. “And we think that the government has done something salacious or unethical in their pursuit of him, we gon’ side with him. At least, to a degree in terms of pointing out the kind of links they will go through to take him down. We’re also hearing that they’re coming with additional charges down the pipe, this is just the start, it ain’t the finish line. But by doing this, their belief is that that’s going to help them in the court of public opinion. I don’t know if they’re wrong, they might be right about that.” Check out the comments section of the Instagram post below to see people’s critical reactions

“But they especially win if they get that tape removed and it’s not allowed to be seen by the 12 jurors that’s going to be assigned to decide whether or not he’s going to jail for 20, 25 years, to 40 years, the rest of his life, or whether he’s going to be made to be a free man,” Stephen A. Smith said about Diddy. “He still ain’t been let out on bail. If I remember correctly, a judge was removed from the case, and a different judge came about. Still ain’t removed from jail. They still haven’t granted him bail.

“But this revealing of the tape and the accusations that it was leaked by the government to assist the prosecution – well, they are the prosecution, the government,” Stephen A. Smith concluded his thoughts on the Diddy situation. “It does make sense, it might not be that bad of a strategy. And if you can get that tape removed… Hmm. They don’t have to see what he did to his ex-girl. Hmm… It’s interesting. I’m just saying, I’m just saying.”

Kanye West’s Harassment Accuser Alleges He Drugged And Sexually Assaulted Her At Diddy Party

October 12, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Kanye West’s former assistant Lauren Pisciotta has reportedly filed a new 88-page lawsuit against him including various disturbing allegations, according to alleged court documents reportedly obtained by Daily Mail. Chief among them is the claim that Ye allegedly drugged and sexually assaulted Pisciotta at a Diddy party. This follows her previous lawsuit in June accusing the Chicago artist of alleged sexual harassment due to their phone, text, and in-person interactions, allegations that he denied despite not yet forming a legal defense. The former assistant reportedly worked for the Yeezy mogul from 2021 to 2022. She alleges that they first met along with a musician client of hers at a studio session and party cohosted by Kanye and Sean Combs.

At a party, Lauren Pisciotta alleges that Kanye West handed her a drink that made her feel “disoriented” and in a “highly impaired state,” per the alleged court documents in addition to the previous sexual harassment lawsuit. She claims that she couldn’t remember what happened that night and that her musician client didn’t want to talk about it. Pisciotta also alleges that she found out about the alleged incident years later right before Ye fired her, allegedly hearing it straight from his perspective and understanding why her client didn’t want to discuss it.

(Photo by Kevin Mazur/WireImage/Getty Images)

According to the reported court documents, Lauren Pisciotta thought that a studio assistant drugged her but did not force himself onto her in any way. Nevertheless, how she supposedly found out about the alleged sexual assault is because Kanye West’s ex-wife (not named in the reported lawsuit, but believed to be Kim Kardashian as his only former spouse at press time) allegedly thought that Ye was having an affair with Pisciotta in November of 2022. The former assistant alleged that Kanye didn’t let her reach out to Kim to dispel those affair rumors because they “did kind of hook up a little one time,” the lawsuit claims that he told Pisciotta.

Furthermore, the reported lawsuit claims that he recounted the night when she was allegedly drugged and alleged that they slept together, although Pisciotta alleges that he didn’t reveal “true nature and severity” of this alleged incident to Kim. Then, Pisciotta allegedly told Kanye West that she supposedly didn’t remember that night, to which he allegedly replied “Women love to say they don’t remember” before changing the subject, per the reported lawsuit. Ye hasn’t publicly responded to this lawsuit and these allegations at press time, and he denied all of Pisciotta’s previous allegations of sexual harassment.

Tia Kemp Alleges That Rick Ross Talked Smack About Diddy Before Arrest

October 12, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Tia Kemp is still airing out her ex Rick Ross for a bunch of alleged and messy reasons online, and she’s not letting up anytime soon. Recently, she joined Tasha K for a sit-down interview on her Unwine program, on which they eventually talked about the Diddy scandal. Morerover, Kemp alleged that Ross actually expressed some negative feelings towards Sean Combs before his arrest, despite their publicly amicable relationship. Specifically, she claimed that he sent her alleged DMs about how he couldn’t wait for authorities to take the Bad Boy mogul away so he could purchase some of his possessions.

Of course, these are just speculative allegations with no published or verifiable proof, so take Tia Kemp’s claims here with a grain of salt. Previously, she had brought up the Rick Ross and Diddy connection in a negative light amid the former’s federal charges for alleged sex trafficking and other civil allegations. As for Rozay’s own words, he hasn’t really said much on the whole matter, and engaged in spats with Kemp for other reasons. As such, fans find it unlikely that he will ever address this situation outright.

However, if this alleged Diddy rift is true, this should sound very familiar to Rick Ross fans who followed him this year in the Drake battle. “One things about Nostalgia, this party here?” the 6ix God recently said at an annual Toronto gathering before addressing his many hip-hop opps, including the Maybach Music Group mogul. “My real friends are definitely in the building. But I’m going to tell you. You’re going to come to a point in life where people you thought were friends or people you thought were close to you, they might switch up.

“They might try to move funny with you,” Drake continued. “They might stab you in the back, they might do a lot of things to you. You’ll come to that realization, wherever you’re at in life. You’ve probably been there and you’ll be there again, that’s how life is. But look, sometimes, it’s you and you alone by yourself. Sometimes it’s you alone with your thoughts.” We’ll see how that relationship and the Diddy bond evolve over time for Rick Ross.

Nick Cannon Alleges That He Went To Diddy Party When He Was Underage

October 12, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Nick Cannon recently hopped on The Breakfast Club for a new interview, which unsurprisingly broached the subject of the Sean Combs scandal at one point. For those unaware, Cannon’s previously spoke on his positive relationship with Diddy and how that led him to defend him during his slew of allegations, despite admitting that the Bad Boy mogul subjected Cassie to a lot of suffering. Back to the radio show, though, Charlamagne Tha God eventually remarked on how both the Wild N’ Out star and cohost Loren LoRosa have been to Diddy parties.

This led the former to allege that not only was he 16 or 17 years old when he attended, but that the event he went to was not an example of the “freak-offs” that are where the salacious and nefarious aspects under scrutiny allegedly went down. “You ain’t never been to a Diddy party?” Nick Cannon asked Charlamagne. “Okay, what’s classified as a Diddy party? ‘Cause you definitely been to some stuff [like] a Bad Boy event. So when he was in the city and all of that? I’ve even been there when I was a kid. Like, 16, 17. I live my truth. I remember standing outside, you know, trying to get into a Puff party out here in New York.

“Everybody was like – how the ‘One More Chance’ video looked?” Nick Cannon continued concerning Diddy’s parties back then. “That was real, real stuff out here. Like, people standing at the door, who can get in and stuff like that. Bad Boy parties was official in New York in the late ’90s. So, I mean, hey, whatever. Y’all talk to me. This is the thing. Everybody gets scared to talk because they probably got something to hide. I ain’t got nothing to hide.

“I was in there, Harlem shaking, doing all of that stuff,” Nick Cannon concluded. “But it wasn’t… Come on, whatever. Just like people would say ‘Pause’ and all of that stuff. What you hiding? Why are you always thinking like that? […] I think it’s unfair that we are classifying a good party [as] a ‘freak-off.’ But see, that’s the thing. I don’t drink, I don’t do drugs, so I was like, I don’t know all of that. I’m in my life sober. I’ve never been drunk in my life.”

Ty Dolla Sign Seemingly Defends Diddy In Leaked ‘FRIED’ Demo

October 12, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Ty Dolla Sign established a reputation for fraternizing with complicated figures when he decided to link up with Kanye West. The R&B singer decided to release two collab albums with West during the wildest and most controversial period of the latter’s career. One of the songs these two worked on was “FRIED,” which appeared on VULTURES 2. A demo version of the song leaked on October 11, however, and it saw Ty Dolla Sign decide to take a very bold stance in favor of another complicated figure: Diddy.

Ty Dolla references the disgraced mogul in a verse that was scrapped from the final version. “Don’t say no Diddy ’round me,” the singer croons over the demo. “That’s my dog.” It’s a genuinely surprising take to dish out on a song in 2024, when public opinion of Diddy could not be lower. Furthermore, Diddy is currently behind bars. He’s awaiting trial on federal charges of sex trafficking and racketeering, and is facing 15 years to life. Ty Dolla Sign defending Diddy is, as they say on the internet, a choice. Especially given Kanye West’s feelings toward the Bad Boy founder.

Kanye West has made it clear that he does not co-sign Diddy. He infamously roasted the Bad Boy founder when he appeared on a 2023 episode of Drink Champs. “As far as Meek Mill, Puff Daddy, whoever, none of these n**gas,” he told the hosts. “All of you fake hard n**gas, f**k you!” To make matters even more bold, West accused Diddy of being protected by the feds. “You can’t shoot nobody anyway,” he asserted. “And the reason why you gotta talk is because you did a deal, you f**king fed!”

Ty Dolla Sign has put forth a pretty unified front with West during these tumultuous VULTURES rollouts. Even when West seemingly flew off the handle and made controversial statements. His decision to cape for Diddy is one that has not been met with much praise from the internet. It remains to be seen whether Ty’s scrapped bars will get him in trouble with fans. Best case scenario, though, it’s still a very bad look.

Diddy Theory About Him Losing Weight In Jail Allegedly Disproved

October 11, 2024 by newhiphopnews

One of the unexpected results of a court hearing in the Diddy case on Thursday (October 10) was that people started to theorize about his appearance. Never mind his third bail rejection: folks also talked about how he allegedly lost weight while behind bars as he waits for trial for alleged sex trafficking charges, among others. Well, according to allegedly close sources that reportedly spoke to TMZ, this is an inaccurate assumption. The alleged sources claim that Sean Combs actually lost a lot of weight before his arrest last month due to a dietary, physical, and mental health regimen.

This follows allegations from Diddy’s lawyer Marc Agnifilo that his biggest struggle in prison is actually the food. “I think the food’s probably the roughest part of it,” he told reporters after their Thursday hearing concluded, per People. The publication also spoke to a source that spoke on the Bad Boy mogul’s children and mother attending the hearing. ““The kids were very happy to support their father. The whole family was. They are united in their support and he was happy to see them all there,” the alleged source expressed.

Elsewhere in the Diddy case, the federal government has allegedly responded to his defense team’s accusations that they leaked information to the press, specifically the footage of him attacking Cassie back in 2016. “The Government did not possess the video published by CNN prior to its public release, and the Government possessed no surveillance video at all from the Intercontinental prior to CNN’s public broadcast,” Assistant U.S. Attorney Emily Johnson reportedly wrote to Marc Agnifilo. “Accordingly, we wish to advise you that we consider any assertion in your motion of a purported Government leak related to the Intercontinental surveillance video to lack a good faith basis.”

In addition, this Thursday hearing also indicated the potential trial start date of May 5, 2025, although it’s unclear if this is official yet. Nevertheless, the federal case moved along with a lot of updates this week, and it looks like we can cross Diddy’s alleged weight loss off that list. We’re sure we will hear many more alleged details about his status and the allegations against him in the near future.
