Accusations continue to pour in against P. Diddy. New complaints have been filed against Sean “Diddy” Combs. One of them accuses the rapper and influential American hip-hop producer of sexual assault on a minor, a lawyer said on Monday.
These civil complaints – filed in New York by six people – are part of the series of proceedings involving more than 100 alleged victims recently announced by an American lawyer, after the indictment and incarceration in September of Sean Combs. The latter is criminally accused of having run a violent system of sex trafficking and extortion for years.
A system of sex trafficking and extortion
“We plan to file numerous other complaints in the coming weeks against Mr. Combs and other defendants,” warned this lawyer, Mr. Tony Buzbee, in a press release on Monday. These complaints filed by two women and four men whose identities have not been revealed cover a period from 1995 to 2021 according to the lawyer. A complainant claims that the artist sexually assaulted him when he was 16, touching his genitals, in 1998 near New York, during a party organized by the producer, also called P. Diddy or Puff Daddy and now aged 54.
At the time, Combs reportedly explained to the teenager that he needed to accept this type of behavior “to break into the industry” of music. At the same time, the producer will have to answer in May 2025 during a criminal trial at the federal level for having, according to the prosecution, put his musical “empire” at the service of a violent system of trafficking for the purposes of sexual exploitation and extortion. Sean Combs has pleaded not guilty and says he is innocent.

Cassie’s rape accusations
An essential and bling-bling figure in American east coast hip-hop, Diddy has seen his star fade since the revelation in the fall of 2023 of several complaints, including accusations of rape of R & B singer Cassie, a procedure which was ultimately settled amicably.
Complainants described him as a violent sexual predator who used alcohol and drugs to obtain their submission. The rapper has denied these accusations.
