A towel-clad Sean Combs is seen chasing his then-girlfriend Cassie down a hotel hallway as she flees, throwing her to the ground, kicking her several times, and attempting to drag her away in newly unearthed surveillance video obtained by CNN.

Ventura noted in her lawsuit that video of the alleged attack existed, but she believed Combs had paid...

Officials raided two of Sean Combs’ homes on Monday, a law-enforcement source confirmed to Rolling Stone, as part of a federal sex-trafficking investigation. Led by Homeland Security, the raid was carried out just four months after the rap mogul’s ex-girlfriend, singer Cassie, accused Combs of sex trafficking.
Helicopters and agents were seen swarming Combs’ Los Angeles mansion on Monday afternoon. Footage of the scene appeared to show some men — later identified as Combs’ sons Justin and King — detained and waiting outside of the Holmby Hills house. Officials were also present at Combs’ Miami residence.

After music producer Rodney “Lil Rod” Jones Jr. accused Sean “Diddy” Combs of sexually harassing and assaulting him, Combs is pushing back hard at the allegations.
Late last month, Jones, who had worked with Combs on his most recent studio album, The Love Album: Off the Grid, filed a lawsuit against the rap mogul in U.S. federal court for the southern district of New York.

A reality show following the family of Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs that was in the early stages of development has been cancelled and it comes following multiple lawsuits against Combs alleging sexual assault.
The show, which was being developed with the working title ‘Diddy+7’, was being produced by James Corden’s production company Fulwell 73. It has been scrapped at Hulu, reports Variety.
The first suit against Combs was filed on Nov. 16 by Cassandra Ventura aka Cassie, Combs’ former long-time partner, who alleged that Combs had raped and beat her over a period of a decade. Though Combs denied any wrongdoing through a lawyer, the two parties settled the suit one day later.

A reality series featuring Sean “Diddy” Combs that was in early stages at Hulu has been scrapped, The Hollywood Reporter has learned.

Sean “Diddy” Combs has publicly responded to multiple accusations of sexual assault from several women in the form of a statement typed in all caps.
The statement was posted as an image on Instagram and X:
“Enough Is Enough,” the rapper wrote. “For The Last Couple Of Weeks, I Have Sat Silently And Watched People Try To Assassinate My Character, Destroy My Reputation And My Legacy.”
Combs went on to say this: “Sickening Allegations Have Been Made Against Me By Individuals Looking For A Quick Payday. Let Me Be Absolutely Clear: I Did Not Do Any Of The Awful Things Being Alleged. I Will Fight For My Name, My Family And For The Truth.”
He then signed his name at the bottom: “Sean Diddy Combs.”

For the fourth time in as many weeks, vivid sexual assault allegations have been brought against Sean Combs. This time, the mega-producer and performer, who goes by Diddy, is accused of sex trafficking and participating in the gang rape of an 11th grader in 2003.
“Ms. Doe has lived with her memories of this fateful night for 20 years, during which time she has suffered extreme emotional distress that has impacted nearly every aspect of her life and personal relationships,” says the Jane Doe complaint filed in New York courts Wednesday by the Wignor firm. “Given the brave women who have come forward against Ms. Combs and Mr. Pierre in recent weeks, Ms. Doe is doing the same.”
In fact, it was the case of former Combs girlfriend Cassandra Ventura that was filed by the Wignor firm and settled just before Thanksgiving that prompted the then-Detroit-living Jane Doe to file her claim...

New York — Jay-z set the stage on fire Wednesday night at Manhattan's Blender Theater (figuratively speaking, of course). But that didn't stop local fire officials from barging into the venue as the rapper's scheduled 45-minute set extended just past an hour.
Hov, however, gave the crowd at the MySpace/ "DJ Hero"-sponsored event fair warning. After running through hits like "Show Me What You Got," "I Just Wanna Love U (Give It 2 Me)" and "Izzo (H.O.V.A.)," Jay-z said he was just getting started.
"They told me to give y'all 45 minutes," he said from the stage, clad in all black except for three red stripes on his shirt sleeve signifying his new album, The Blueprint 3. "I think I'mma go an hour and 15. I need more time for my records.
