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.”
For months, 50 Cent has been needling his beleaguered rival mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs, who has come under both public and federal scrutiny after several lawsuits were filed against him alleging sexual misconduct. Today, 50 reported another win in his one-sided battle with Diddy, as the documentary he has been touting since the beginning of the drama has reportedly been bought by Netflix after a bidding war among streamers for its broadcast rights.
According to TMZ, 50 produced the doc through his G-Unit Film and Television Studios, and is expected to begin streaming “sooner rather than later.”
Meanwhile, Combs, still reeling from the leak of a hotel security video that captured an assault on his ex Cassie Ventura, was hit with a sixth lawsuit today. Filed by former model Crystal McKinney, the latest suit alleges that Diddy forced McKinney to give him oral sex after drugging her at a New York Fashion Week party when she was 22.
The latest suit came after federal authorities raided several of Diddy’s properties while investigating claims of sex trafficking leveled against the Bad Boy founder in one of the lawsuits against him. However, Diddy can’t be charged for the 2016 hotel assault on Cassie, due to an expired statute of limitations.
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.”
Yung Miami and Diddy have been an item for quite some time, however, the mogul’s latest scandals have put the relationship into question. The most recent development in the Diddy saga just so happens to involve Cassie, who in many ways, set off a massive chain reaction of allegations. Overall, last Friday brought forth hotel footage of Diddy beating on Cassie. It was incredibly disturbing, and it led to an apology that fans have been scrutinizing for the better part of half of a week.
At this stage, fans have been unable to tell whether or not Yung Miami and Diddy are still together. A previous Finsta post made it seem like they were very much together still. Moreover, Miami has been vocal on Twitter in ways that have made fans believe that she was sticking by her man. Now, however, it appears as though that is no longer the case. According to The Neighborhood Talk, Yung Miami has officially unfollowed Diddy on Instagram.
It is impossible to tell when this may have happened. One even has to wonder how some of these pages keep track of this stuff. Regardless, in the digital age, things like unfollows and blocks actually matter, even if those who aren’t chronically online say otherwise. Either way, one has to wonder what Yung Miami is thinking right now. In the meantime, more women have come out with allegations against Diddy, while 50 Cent readies a documentary.
Let us know what you think of this latest move from Yung Miami, in the comments section down below. Do you believe it is smart for her to distance herself from Diddy with everything going on right now? What do you think will happen to Diddy next?

50 Cent had a busy May 21. The rapper has had a field day with the downfall of his fellow NY mogul, Diddy. He not only made fun of Diddy on social media, but he secured distribution for his anticipated documentary series on the mogul’s various crimes. The docuseries, tentatively titled Diddy Do It, was bought by Netflix after a lengthy bidding war. A bidding war that 50 celebrated by poking fun at TMZ.
TMZ broke the news of the Netflix acquisition. They claimed that multiple networks and virtually all the streaming platforms were trying to purchase the docuseries, given how much attention the Diddy saga had gotten in the last few months. “[The] new Diddy docuseries will hit the streamer sooner than later,” the outlet added. 50 Cent’s decision to go with Netflix makes perfect sense, given the success that the platform has had with other true crime shows.
The rapper did not appreciate TMZ’s coverage of the story, however. He reposted a screenshot of the article on his Instagram and noted that the outlet used a photo of him when he was noticeably heavier. His theory? TMZ is salty because they recently put a Diddy documentary of their own: The Downfall of Diddy. “TMZ use this fat boy picture of me because their doc went to Tubi LOL,” he wrote on IG. “It’s ok guys we’re all making good television mines just happens to be the best.”
50 Cent went on note that he may have to produce more episodes of his docuseries if more harrowing Diddy allegations surface. “Netflix wins the bidding war but if more victims keep coming out I’m gonna need more episodes,” he added. This Instagram post comes only a few hours after the rapper reacted to the latest assault claims leveled at Diddy. A former model named Crystal McKinney filed a lawsuit against Diddy for an alleged 2003 incident, and 50 once again blasted the Bad Boy founder. “This my last puffy post I think he might kill himself,” he wrote. “I don’t want no parts of that.” The rapper later deleted the post.
It’s been less than a week since the Diddy and Cassie footage aired on CNN, but the fallout is still being felt. The latter’s career is effectively over, with nearly every famous musician in the industry denouncing him for his heinous actions. Diddy tried to apologize, but the public is paying far more attention to those who worked under him, and have painted a picture of the mogul as a manipulator. Mylah Morales is one of these former employees. She was Cassie’s makeup artist when the 2016 incident between Cassie and Diddy transpired, and she recently opened up about her experiences.
Morales went on Extra TV to discuss the CNN footage on May 21. She confirmed that she was with the famous couple the day of the physical altercation, and was confronted by the mogul shortly before he went after Cassie. “I don’t even want to go back to it because it’s triggering,” she admitted. “All I [saw] was him walking into the room and saying, ‘Where the f*ck is she.’ I didn’t know what was going on.” Morales was then tasked with trying to help Cassie after she had been viciously attacked by Diddy.
Mylah Morales Claimed She Couldn’t Take Cassie To A Hospital
The makeup artist told the Extra TV host that Cassie wasn’t allowed to go to the hospital. “I called my friend, a doctor at the time, to treat her because we couldn’t bring her to the hospital,” she recalled. “We didn’t know what the hell to do at that point. Who are we going to call. I’m scared just even talking about this, but I feel like somebody has to.” Morales also recalled the physical condition Cassie was in after the Diddy attack. “She was bruised,” she admitted. “I mean, badly bruised, like knots on her head, a black eye.”
Cassie ultimately recovered at Morales’ home. “All I cared about was to get her to safety,” the latter said. “And I took her into my house and kept her there for a few days.” As far as Diddy’s recent apology for the 2016 incident goes, Morales could care less. “That’s ridiculous, he didn’t even mention her name,” she pointed out. “And if he was apologetic about it, he would mention her name, but he didn’t. That’s what I don’t understand… Just a PR stunt.”
A sixth lawsuit has been filed against Sean “Diddy” Combs. Today (May 21), New York Times reported that a former model named Crystal McKinney filed a lawsuit against Diddy, accusing him of forcing her to perform oral sex on him.
According to the lawsuit, McKinney, who was 22 at the time, first met Diddy in 2003, when an unnamed fashion designer invited her to attend a Men’s Fashion Week event at a restaurant in Manhattan. The suit notes that she had met Diddy that night, and was invited by him to accompany him to his recording studio. McKinney says she was given alcohol and marijuana, and later, says she came to realize it was laced.
The suit claims that Diddy led McKinney into a bathroom, pushed her head down to his crotch, and forced her to perform oral sex on him, despite her refusals. McKinney said she then lost consciousness, and woke up in a cab, realizing she had been sexually assaulted.
This is the sixth lawsuit filed against Diddy in recent time. Last November, Diddy’s ex-girlfriend Cassandra “Cassie” Ventura sued him for sexual abuse, and said suit was settled within 24 hours. Shortly after,Joi Dickerson-Neal and a woman identified as Jane Doe filed two other sexual assault lawsuits against Diddy. The following month, a woman also identifying as Jane Doe accused Diddy of gang-raping her when she was 17 years old. Back in February, Lil Rod accused Diddy of sexual misconduct.
Last week, a video allegedly featuring Diddy physically assaulting his then-girlfriend Cassie in 2016 surfaced online. Diddy has since taken to social media, filming an apology, despite denying allegations of abuse last November, when Cassie first sued him.
Diddy was not the only mainstream artist who was accused of assault on May 21. Trey Songz was also named as the perpetrator of a sexual assault that took place an undisclosed amount of time ago. The R&B superstar was not formally charged with a crime, however, as the accusation came from a social media user who claimed to be a friend of the alleged victim.
The accusation against Trey Songz actually spawned a previous accusation made against the singer. Winter Blanco accused him of sexually assaulting her during a March 2024 appearance on Behind the Likes. The woman who came forward this latest accusation quote tweeted Blanco’s interview and used it as the jumping off point for the assault her friend allegedly experienced. “I’ll never forget Trey Songz was mad drunk and lit in booby,” the user @imdrinaa wrote on X (formerly Twitter).
I’ll never forget Trey songz was mad drunk and lit in booby and he sexually assaulted my friend by making out with her she was in such freeze mode because she didn’t know him at all wasn’t even no flirting going on he just randomly turned around and kissed her ending it by… https://t.co/cCmZN2BBKc
The user then claimed that the singer forced himself upon her friend (who is not named). “He sexually assaulted my friend by making out with her. She was in such freeze mode because she didn’t know him at all.” The account turned even more harrowing with specific details of what Trey Songz allegedly did. “Wasn’t even no flirting going on. He just randomly turned around and kissed her ending it by spitting in her mouth. She was so disgusted she left the section with her money on the floor.” The user added that her friend got a tonsil infection shortly after the encounter.
@Imdrinaa concluded her statement by noting that charges were never filed. “Never reported it though,” she wrote. There were some X followers who were skeptical of the lack of detail surrounding the incident, but others believed it on the basis of Songz’s reputation. Three separate women accused the singer of sexually assaulting them between 2016 and 2021. Trey Songz has denied all accusations, and has never been formally charged. Las Vegas police dropped the most recent sexual assault investigation in April 2022, with the caveat that it could be reopened with new evidence.
Nobody trolls harder than 50 Cent. He’s unrivaled when it comes to making other rappers look bad. Not that Diddy needs help in this regard. The Bad Boy founder lost all of his goodwill with the public after the harrowing footage of him attacking Cassie was aired on CNN. The statute of limitations on the attack will keep Diddy from facing legal repercussions, but his troubles are far from over. The man formerly known as Puff Daddy has been accused of drugging and assaulting a woman over two decades ago, and 50 had something to say. Of course he did.
Shortly after the new Diddy accusations rolled in, 50 Cent reposted the story on his Instagram. “Got damn boy another one,” he wrote in the caption. The G-Unit mastermind then dished out his darkest insult to date, alluding to Diddy’s potential suicide. “This my last puffy post I think he might kill himself,” he explained. “I don’t want no parts of that.” The post has since been deleted.
50’s joke divided the fans in his comment section. Some thought it was fitting, and urged him to keep dismantling Diddy’s reputation, while others felt it went a little too far. “It’s too late. Suicides not a joke,” wrote one disturbed user. “You’re taking things too far.” Another simply wrote: “50 you’re an actual MENACE.”
50 Cent has had something to say about each new Diddy accusation that surfaces. He was one of the countless industry figures who were horrified by the aforementioned assault footage. He also noted that the footage was released to the public despite the fact that it no longer carries legal weight. The rapper does not think this decision was coincidental. “This is why they put that tape out,” he wrote on X. “They know they can’t charge him with what we saw, but they know we can’t un see what we saw.”
50 was also critical of Diddy’s public apology. The latter posted an Instagram video in which he chalked up his abuse of Cassie to a “dark period” in his life, and the public didn’t buy it. The general consensus was that Diddy was only apologizing (and poorly, at that) because he got caught. The “P.I.M.P.” rapper agreed. “This is not going to work,” he wrote on Instagram. “Who is advising him right now? SMH bad move.”
Diddy is in more hot water. The music mogul become persona non grata after footage of him beating his ex-girlfriend, Cassie Ventura, surfaced on CNN. He’s tried to sweep things under the rug and issue an IG apology, yet the public is not buying it. Many want to see Diddy face legal repercussions for what he did to Cassie, but the LAPD clarified that they cannot make an arrest due to how long ago the incident took place. This, however, has not stopped other women from coming with other allegations against Diddy.
On May 21, Crystal McKinney filed a lawsuit in which she claimed to have been drugged and sexually assaulted by the Bad Boy founder. The model claimed that she encountered Diddy at a Men’s Fashion Week event in 2003, and was invited back to his studio for an afterparty. While there, Diddy gave her drinks and various items to smoke. McKinney recalls taking a hit from a joint she described as “very powerful,” and believes that it was laced with various narcotics.
Diddy took her to a bathroom and allegedly tried to force himself on McKinney. The model claimed that he shoved her head down into his crotch. He then ordered her, allegedly, to “suck it.” McKinney states in the lawsuit that she lost consciousness shortly after the incident. She woke up the next day in a taxi cab. Per TMZ, it hasn’t been made clear whether McKinney’s assault allegations stemmed from the bathroom encounter or another unspecified incident involving Diddy.
McKinney claimed that she was subsequently blacklisted in the modeling industry. She struggled to find work after her encounter with Diddy and noted that she attempted suicide in 2004. The former model is seeking unspecified damages as a result. McKinney’s allegations fall in line with previous suits brought against Diddy. In November 2023, two women sued the mogul for assault, beatings and forced drugging in the 1990s. A month later, an unnamed woman claimed that he and two other men assaulted her when she was a teenager. He has not been formally charged in any of these cases.
