A brief overview of Sean Diddy Combs' allegations

P. Diddy's life began unraveling in November 2023, when his long-term ex-girlfriend Casandra 'Cassie' Ventura filed a lawsuit against the singer, accusing him of r*pe, s*x trafficking, and domestic violence. However, both parties settled the lawsuit the very next day, on November 17, 2023.

Furthermore, federal agents raided his properties in Los Angeles and Miami on March 25, 2024. Two months later, in May 2024, a surveillance video of the rapper physically assaulting Cassie in a hotel in 2016 surfaced, intensifying the scrutiny against the hip-hop mogul.

On September 16, 2024, P. Diddy was arrested in Manhattan and charged with racketeering, s*x trafficking, and transportation to engage in prostitution. Following his arrest, several men and women came forward with allegations of being s*xually abused by the rap mogul. Combs is also accused of assaulting minors, including a 10-year-old boy in 2005 and a 13-year-old girl at an MTV Video Music Awards after-party in 2000.

As of early 2025, around 30 civil cases have been filed against Combs. He is currently in custody at the Special Housing Unit in the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn and is set to go on trial on May 5, 2025.
