Diddy Faces New Assault Allegations as Legal Troubles Mount

October 21, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Diddy Partners with DJ Khaled to Announce New 'Diddy Direct' Platform

Sean “Diddy” Combs is confronting a fresh wave of assault accusations following a new civil lawsuit filed on Sunday in the Southern District of New York. Texas-based attorney Tony Buzbee claims that Combs sexually assaulted a man in 2022. Buzbee has indicated that he plans to file additional lawsuits against Combs, stating, “We will let the allegations in the filed complaints speak for themselves, and will work to see that justice is done.”

This lawsuit comes less than a week after Buzbee filed six other suits against the music mogul. Combs’ legal team denied all accusations in a statement to NBC News last week, asserting that he has “never sexually assaulted anyone—adult or minor, man or woman.” The statement expressed confidence in the judicial process, claiming that the truth would prevail.

Currently, Combs is being held without bail at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn on federal racketeering and sex trafficking charges, with his trial scheduled to commence on May 5. Federal prosecutors have revealed that they are reviewing data from over 90 devices seized during raids at his properties, as well as during his arrest in New York earlier this year.

In a recent hearing, Combs’ legal team filed a motion requesting the public identification of his accusers in the federal sex trafficking case to facilitate a proper defense. The ongoing legal battles come after several lawsuits, including one from his former girlfriend, Casandra Ventura, which was quickly settled. Other plaintiffs include Dawn Richard, a former member of the girl group Danity Kane, who has accused Combs of groping, assaulting, and threatening her life.

As the legal troubles intensify, Combs continues to deny all allegations against him, emphasizing his intent to fight back against the claims.

King Los Voices Concern For Diddy While The Mogul Remains Locked Up

October 16, 2024 by newhiphopnews

King Los may not be a household name in hip hop, but he’s a veteran presence. He’s been rapping since the 1990s, and has spent the last two decades serving as Diddy’s primary ghostwriter. The relationship between the two men is seemingly close. King Los was even spotted alongside Diddy after the video of the mogul attacking Cassie leaked online. The rapper has continued to voice his support for Diddy over the last few months, however. He told TMZ that he hasn’t gotten a chance to speak with the mogul since he was locked up.

TMZ caught up with King Los on October 16. They asked the rapper if he was worried about Diddy, and he made a clear distinction. “Concerned,” Los said, when asked to explain his feelings on the situation. “Not worried.” The rapper was also questioned over the baby oil memes and the overall hatred that the Bad Boy mogul has received online since his arrest. King Los claimed that the internet didn’t matter, as there’s no way of controlling what people say. “You can’t control the internet,” he asserted. “Sometimes jokes lighten up harsh situations, but sometimes it could hurt.”

King Los Announced Plans To Rap About Diddy Experiences

In the case of Diddy, King Los feels as though he’s too close to the situation to make a ruling. “I can’t call it one way or the other,” he admitted. “It’s about what you pay attention to.” The rapper told TMZ that he has made a point of ignoring the Diddy jokes. The interview took an unexpected turn, however, when Los said that he planned to rap about his Bad Boy experiences on record. “At some point, yeah,” he told the reporter. “Everything reality. It’s a part of my life.” King Los shied away from providing any details, but he said he would inevitably put a creative spin on the things he’s witnessed alongside Diddy.

King Los’ closeness to Diddy has not been great for his public image. The rapper was derided by fans on social media after he was seen with the mogul after the Cassie video. Los hasn’t spoken on the charges that have been leveled against Diddy, but he did refer to the Bad Boy founder as his mogul during a 2014 interview with MTV. “Forever in the Bad Boy family,” he explained. “I’ve chose to explore other endeavors just like my mentor, just like Puff.”

Woman Claims Diddy Sexually Assaulted Her Over Comment Made About His Involvement In Tupac’s Murder

October 16, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Adding to his long list of over 100 accusers, another woman has recently come forward to file a lawsuit alleging that Diddy sexually assaulted her over taunts she made about his alleged involvement in the drive-by shooting of Tupac Shakur in September 1996 that left him mortally wounded.

Ashley Parham claims that back in 2018, she teased the Bad Boy mogul about being involved in ‘Pac’s death and she claims that because of the verbal jab, he targeted her and eventually sexually assaulted her with a television remote.

Parham claims that the taunt was made in her initial contact with Diddy over FaceTime, to which he replied that she would “pay” for her comments. Parham says that a month later, she was invited to a home in Orinda, California, but contends that the meeting was a set up orchestrated by Diddy. She says that upon her arrival, Diddy held her at knifepoint and threatened to give her a “Glasgow smile” for her Tupac cooments.

A Glasgow smile is where an assailant cuts their victim’s face at the corners of their mouth.

Parham then claims that Diddy took his clothes off, covered her body in a liquid-like substance, then proceeded to sexually assault her with a television remote. She also said that Diddy threatened to make her disappear before he and two other men raped her.

Parham alleged that the mogul told her he “hadn’t had any a*s that tight in a while” and offered to pay her to say their encounter was consensual.

In court docs obtained by TMZ, Parham says that she declined the offer and threatened to go to the police, but Diddy responded by threatening the safety of her family. Parham alleges that she reported the incident to Walnut Creek Police and the Orinda Police Department, however, no investigation was ever conducted into the incident.

Diddy’s reps have yet to publicly address these new allegations.

Diddy Shares His First Social Media Post Since Being Arrested Over Sex Trafficking Charges

October 16, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Yesterday (October 15), Love Sean Combs, Diddy’s youngest child, turned two years old. Diddy’s daughter’s big day got the controversial rapper to make his first social media post since being arrested for sex trafficking and racketeering.

On Instagram yesterday, Diddy shared an Instagram gallery post, featuring two photos of Love and two photos of himself with Love. He wrote in the post’s caption, “Happy Birthday to you! Happy Birthday to you! Happy Birthday baby Love! Happy Birthday to you!! [heart emoji][heart hands emoji] Happy Birthday @loveseancombs daddy loves you [cake emoji][party popper emoji][balloon emoji].”

Diddy is currently in the Special Housing Unit at Brooklyn’s Metropolitan Detention Center, so the post was perhaps technically shared by his team and not Diddy himself.

Diddy should remain there for the next good while, too: A few days ago, his trial was scheduled for May 5, 2025. Shortly after that, a new lawsuit surfaced, in which Diddy is accused by six different people of rape, sexual abuse, and sexual assault.

In light of all this, many people have been doing what they can to distance themselves from Diddy. Kesha and Reneé Rapp famously changed the Diddy lyric in “Tik Tok” at Coachella, and Joe Jonas made his own change to DNCE’s “Cake By The Ocean.”

Woman Accuses Diddy of Sexual Assault with TV Remote After Confronting Him About Tupac’s Death

October 16, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Diddy's legal team is asking for his release. In a court-submitted letter, Diddy's team pens, "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."

A woman is alleging Diddy raped her with a TV remote after she stated she beleived he had a hand in the murder of Tupac.

According to TMZ, Ashley Parham stated she was assaulted by Diddy during a “gangbang-style” rape after levying the accusation in a Facetime call.

Parham met a friend of Diddy’s at a bar in Feb. 2018. Not a fan of the mogul, she stated she felt he had a part to play in the death of the rap legend and he responded she would “pay” for her comment, being set up for a rape a month later.

Parham stated she was invited to the friend’s home in Orinda, California, only to meet Diddy who stated “she thought she would never see him in person.” He then presented a knife to her face, threatening to cut it. According to Parham, Kristina Khorram, a Diddy consultant was present and advised the mogul to not cut her face but instead to traffick her.

The woman states then Diddy doused her in a bottle of liquid after removing her clothes, followed by the mogul using a TV remote to rape her after another utensil failed to work properly. The woman states Diddy then anally raped her and three other men also raped her.

The woman states to Diddy’s suprise the woman was able to regain control of her body, grabbed a knife to leave but was confronted by Diddy who offered her money to say it was consenual, even calling his own mother, Janice Combs, to assist in the cover up. The woman also stated Diddy had someone with a live stream of her family’s home.

A scuffle ensued later where Diddy reportedly pleaded for his life and she grazed his abdomen with a knife. After escaping, the woman stated she alerted Contra Costa County Sheriff, Walnut Creek Police and Orinda Police Department, who she believes did no investigation to her claims.

Diddy Allegedly Assaulted A Woman Over Tupac Comment In New Lawsuit

October 16, 2024 by newhiphopnews

The list of Diddy allegations got a little bit longer on Tuesday. A lawsuit was filed against the mogul for an incident that allegedly took place in 2018. The accuser, a woman named Ashley Parham, claims that she taunted Diddy about his alleged involvement in the death of Tupac Shakur. She then alleges that the Bad Boy mogul targeted her, and eventually assaulted her, using a TV remote. TMZ provided additional info on the harrowing accusation.

Parham alleged that her initial encounter with Diddy was over FaceTime. She accused him of playing a role in Tupac’s death, and Diddy allegedly responded by telling her she would “pay” for her comments. A month later, Parham claims that she was invited to a home in Orinda, California. She alleged that she was set up by the man who invited her. Diddy was allegedly waiting for her to arrive. Upon arriving, Parham alleges that Diddy held a knife to her face and threatened to give her a “Glasgow smile” for her Tupac remarks. A “Glasglow smile,” for reference, is a wound caused by cutting smile marks on a side of a person’s face.

The allegations get more harrowing from there. Ashley Parham alleges that Diddy then took his clothes off and covered her body in a liquid-like substance. She then claimed that Diddy took a TV remote and used it sexually assault her. Parham’s alleged encounter continued from there. She alleged that Diddy threatened to make her disappear, before raping and instructing two men to do the same afterwards. Ashley Parham alleged that the mogul told her he “hadn’t had any a*s that tight in a while,” and offered to pay her to say their encounter was consensual.

In the court documents obtained by TMZ, Parham claims that she turned down the offer and made a threat to go to the police. Diddy allegedly countered by threatening the safety of her family if she said anything. Parham alleges that she reported the incident to Walnut Creek Police and the Orinda Police Department. However, no investigation into the Bad Boy mogul was launched. Parham’s lawsuit is not tied to the 120 cases represented by lawyer Tony Buzbee. Instead, her legal case is being handled by lawyers Ariel Mitchell and Shawn Perez. Reps for Diddy have not commented on the suit.

Diddy Reportedly Asks Prosecutors To Reveal Names Of His Alleged Victims

October 15, 2024 by newhiphopnews

The details of the Diddy case are still being sorted out. The mogul has been charged with racketeering and sex trafficking, with a trial rumored to kick off in May 2025. According to TMZ, however, Diddy feels he hasn’t been given a fair shake. The Bad Boy founder allegedly requested that the identities of alleged victims be revealed by the prosecution. His legal team argued that knowledge of the accusers will make it easier for the allegations to be specifically addressed.

The paperwork containing this request was filed on Tuesday, October 15. Diddy’s legal team argued that there will be “voluminous” evidence to suggest that their client engaged in consensual activities with his alleged victims. This evidence, however, can be only be provided if the specific names of alleged victims are divulged. The legal team reportedly feel as though the federal prosecutors working the case should provide more information than they have thus far. Cassie, who is alleged to be listed at Victim #1 based on the descriptor that Victim #1 dated Diddy, is not included in the legal team’s request.

Diddy’s lawyers are instead curious in the other unnamed victims. They also voiced concern over the ways the anonymity of Diddy’s alleged victims will impact future lawsuits. They pointed to Tony Buzbee and the recent wave of lawsuits that have been filed by the lawyer’s clients. Diddy’s team argued that the anonymity of the prosecution has created a “pervasive ripple effect.” One that has resulted in a “torrent of allegations by unidentified complainants.”

This is not the first time that Diddy’s legal team has voiced concern over Buzbee. On Monday, the team criticized the lawyer’s motives. They claimed Buzbee was using the attention gained by the Diddy case to boost his own public profile. “The press conference and 1-800 number that preceded today’s barrage of filings were clear attempts to garner publicity,” they asserted to TMZ. A representative for the U.S. Attorney’s Office has been contacted by the outlet regarding the decision to reveal accuser identities. The rep made no comment.

Diddy Shocks Internet With Instagram Post While Behind Bars

October 15, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Diddy’s life is crumbling at every turn. With a continuous flow of lawsuits, allegations, and the like, there seems to not be a way out for him. At the moment, the disgraced music and business mogul remains in the clutches of the Metropolitan Detention Center (MDC) in Brooklyn, New York. It’s said to be one the harshest jails in all of the United States in every aspect. He’s not getting much free time (around one hour a day) and is also not allowed many visitations. Right now, it’s looking like his trial will begin on May 5, 2025, even though there was an opportunity to begin in April.

So, he’s still got quite a while before any real steps are taken in his legal ordeal. In the meantime, all he can do is get through each day and try and find some sort of fulfillment. Speaking of which, it seems Diddy is doing that in some capacity. Just moments ago, he shockingly posted to his Instagram account. The upload is a set of pictures of his adorable daughter Love with whom he shares with Dana Tran. She is his youngest child, and today is her second birthday.

“Happy Birthday to you! (x4)… Happy Birthday @loveseancombs daddy loves you ” the caption reads. The comments are turned off (as to be expected), and it’s his latest social media post with the last being 11 weeks old. Ironically, Diddy’s last upload to the Gram was an appreciation collage featuring Love as well. Some of these new pictures include the locked-up entrepreneur with his pride and joy with one of them in the ocean and another of them side by side. The question is though, “who actually posted this?”

What are your thoughts on Diddy posting on Instagram to wish Love a happy birthday while behind bars? Do you think he has phone access, or do you think his team did this? We would like to hear what you have to say, so leave your thoughts in the comments. Additionally, always keep it locked in with HNHH for all of the latest news surrounding Diddy.
