New Allegations Surface Against Diddy: Violence and Sexual Harassment Claims Emerge
Music mogul Diddy is facing new allegations of violence and sexual harassment following a six-month investigation conducted by Rolling Stone. The report, based on interviews with over 50 individuals connected to the Bad Boy Records founder throughout his career, reveals a pattern of alleged abusive behaviour dating back to his time at Howard University in the late 1980s.
One incident detailed in the investigation describes Diddy allegedly using a belt to strike a woman repeatedly, with an unnamed source stating: “[Puff] whupped her butt — like really whupped her butt.”
Another serious allegation involves the late Def Jam executive Shakir Stewart, whom Diddy reportedly attacked for dating his ex-girlfriend Kim Porter. The incident allegedly occurred in 2000 at music executive L.A. Reid’s wedding in Italy, where sources claim Diddy broke a chair over Stewart’s head, leaving him bleeding on the floor. Stewart tragically committed suicide in 2008, while Porter, who had three children with Diddy, died of pneumonia in 2018.
Further claims include an alleged attack on a woman at Bad Boy’s offices in 1994, where two employees reportedly had to intervene after hearing screams and the sound of breaking glass. Additionally, a graphic designer who worked for Bad Boy alleges that Diddy sexually harassed her in 2001 at a party celebrating his acquittal in the 1999 NYC nightclub shooting. She claims Diddy massaged her shoulders inappropriately and later solicited her for sex through her boss.
The report also highlights Diddy’s strained relationships with other rappers, including his jealousy over The Notorious B.I.G.’s friendship with 2Pac. Photographer Monique Bunn claims that 2Pac did not respect Diddy and viewed him as a “corny executive.”
Former Bad Boy signee Ma$e allegedly nicknamed Diddy “massa,” a derogatory term referencing a slave master, reflecting the tension at both Bad Boy and Diddy’s former label, Uptown.
Diddy has declined to comment directly on the allegations, with his lawyer stating: “Mr. Combs cannot comment on settled litigation, will not comment on pending litigation, and cannot address every allegation picked up by the press from any source, no matter how unreliable. We are aware that the proper authorities are conducting a thorough investigation and therefore have confidence any important issues will be addressed in the proper forum, where the rules distinguish facts from fiction.”
These revelations add to the existing six sexual assault lawsuits against Diddy and the ongoing federal sex trafficking investigation, which led to raids on two of his homes in March. Earlier this month, CCTV footage leaked showing Diddy brutally attacking his ex-girlfriend Cassie in 2016, prompting a public apology from him.
