Sean "Diddy" Combs recently found himself involved in about 120 lawsuits. People from different age groups have been seen to be the complainants in the suits. The charges included a lot of accusations related to r*pe, s*xual assault, and s*xual exploitation.

Amid the sea of suits filed against Diddy, Tesla CEO Elon Musk has reacted to the same. In a tweet shared on October 2, Musk wrote:
"How many people in music & entertainment knew about this?"
Netizens then began reacting to the remark made by Musk. While some answered Musk's question by saying that many people in the industry knew about it, others asked Musk how many times he had met the music mogul.
Elon Musk is seemingly the latest celebrity to mention the Combs allegations. The nature of the current suits were announced on Tuesday in a press conference in Houston, by Lead Counsel Tony Buzbee with The Buzbee Law Firm and Ava Law Group.
Buzbee even stated that a lot of the crimes mentioned in the suits had happened at certain parties thrown by the mogul as well as during auditions that happened in several venues like Los Angeles, Miami, Manhattan, and the Hamptons.
The lawsuits filed against Diddy include complaints by minors
Amid the much-talked-about scandal about Diddy, 120 additional lawsuits have been filed against the music mogul this week. The suits were filed not only by adults but by minors too. One of the complainants was 9 years old while another was about 15 at the time of the alleged incidents.
Attorney Tony Buzbee confirmed that there were more minor accusers involved. He added that their lawsuits were yet to be filed, as reported by Aol. In a statement, Buzbee mentioned:
"This is an important matter that we intend to aggressively pursue. We will leave no stone unturned to find all potentially liable parties, to include any individual or entity who participated in or benefitted from this egregious behavior."
Buzbee then said that the alleged abuse by the mogul began happening in 1991 and some happened this year as well. The lawyer mentioned that the complainants are spread across several states in the United States. As per the suits, about 25 complainants were minors when the alleged incident happened. He then concluded:
"The day will come when we will name names other than Sean Combs, and there’s a lot of names. It's a long list already... The names will shock you."
Combs has, however, denied all the allegations mentioned in the 120 suits. His attorney Erica Wolff further mentioned in a statement given to Fox News Digital, that the accusations made against him were "meritless." Wolff then described the entire situation to be a "reckless media circus." The attorney continued:
"That said, Mr. Combs emphatically and categorically denies as false and defamatory any claim that he sexually abused anyone, including minors."
Wolff also stated that Diddy is prepared to present his story in the courtroom and prove his innocence in the matter.
