Renowned rapper Sean “Diddy” Combs is facing a staggering 120 allegations of sexual assault, rape, and exploitation, with some victims as young as nine years old, according to Texas-based lawyer Tony Buzbee.
The alleged victims, 60 men and 60 women from over 25 states, claim incidents occurred between 1991 and the present, primarily at parties hosted by Combs in Los Angeles, New York, and Miami. Most incidents allegedly took place after 2015.
Combs’ lawyer, Erica Wolff, denies the allegations, calling them “false and defamatory.” Combs, arrested last month on racketeering and sex trafficking charges, remains in federal custody after being denied bail.
Buzbee represents the alleged victims, claiming Combs used parties as hunting grounds to coerce young aspiring artists into sexual acts in exchange for fame or industry connections. One victim, now an adult, alleges abuse by Combs and associates at a New York recording studio at age nine.
Another victim, a 15-year-old girl at the time, claims she was flown to New York, raped by Combs and others, and offered “laced” drinks before the assault. Buzbee alleges a clear modus operandi, with victims typically being offered drugged drinks before being assaulted.
“The biggest secret in the entertainment industry has finally been revealed to the world,” Buzbee said. “The wall of silence has now been broken.”
Combs denies all allegations, stating he “looks forward to proving his innocence” in court. Buzbee’s firm has received over 3,000 calls from alleged victims, with 100 additional cases being vetted.
The allegations span three decades, with most incidents occurring after 2015. Parties were allegedly used to target victims, often under the guise of auditions or industry events.
As the investigation unfolds, the entertainment industry’s darkest secrets are being exposed. With individual cases filed for each alleged victim, this shocking scandal will undoubtedly rock the music world.
