For hitting a singer, the Mayor of New York asks Rapper Sean “Diddy” for keys to the city – Diario Cambio 22

EDIT / AMENDMENT 22

AP.— Old “Diddy” Combs has returned his key to New York City following a request from Mayor Eric Adams in response to the release of a video showing the music mogul assaulting rhythm and blues singer Cassie, official sources said.

The New York mayor’s office said Combs returned the key after Adams sent letters to the musician’s offices in New York and California on June 4, canceling the key and requesting that it be removed. to return to the city council. City authorities received the key on June 10.

In his letter, Adams wrote that he was “very disturbed” for the attack, and he said: “I strongly condemn these actions and stand in solidarity with all survivors of domestic and gender violence.”

Combs’ career has been marred by numerous allegations of sexual abuse, as well as a federal police investigation into sex trafficking that led to raids on Combs’ mansions in Los Angeles and Miami.

In May, CNN released security video showing Combs assaulting Cassie in a Los Angeles hotel lobby in 2016.

Combs has said yes “very sad” that he attacked Cassie and called what he did “unsustainable”.

Cassie, whose legal name is Cassandra Ventura, sued Combs last year. The case was resolved one day after it was filed.

Adams presented the key to Combs at a ceremony last year to coincide with the release of a new album.

Howard University this month revoked an honorary degree awarded to Combs and ended a scholarship program in his name after the video of Cassie’s attack was released.

Combs, the founder of Bad Boy Records, is one of the most influential hip hop producers and executives of the last three decades and has turned musical success into a business empire.

The Associated Press has not received a response to an email sent to a person listed online as Combs’ representative.
