It seems Diddy will stay away from the public eye much longer than many expected. He will not be attending the 2024 Grammy Awards despite being nominated.

Digital Music News is reporting that the Bad Boy Entertainment mogul will not be in the house for the 66th edition of the ceremony that will honor the best in music. The Hollywood Reporter has exclusively confirmed this with one of Diddy’s representatives. His decision to bow out seems to stem from the multiple allegations of sexual assault made against the New York City native. While the Board of Trustees of the Recording Academy have not formally rescinded his invite, they told Radar Online on Dec. 11 that they are “taking very seriously and we are in the process of evaluating it with the time and care that it deserves.”

Diddy’s latest effort, The Love Album: Off The Grid, was nominated for Best Progressive R&B album along with SZA’s SOS, Janelle Monáe’s The Age Of Pleasure, 6LACK’s Since I Have A Lover and Nova by Terrence Martin and James Fauntleroy. This nod marks Diddy’s first Grammy Award nomination since 2004 when he won for Best Rap Performance by a Duo or Group for “Shake Ya Tailfeather” with Nelly and Murphy Lee.
In the past, the Recording Academy has faced criticism for including talent facing scandal. Last year, Dave Chappelle, Dr. Luke and Louis CK were all respectively nominated for awards. In a statement to The Hollywood Reporter, they made it clear that the nominations do not necessarily reflect the feelings of the Academy. “Our job is to evaluate the art and the quality of the art. The thing that we can control is making sure that people that attend our events feel safe … and don’t feel threatened by anyone,” Academy CEO Harvey Mason Jr. said.
Diddy has denied all the allegations against him.

It is clear Uncle Murda is showing no mercy with his recent year end recap. 50 Cent seems to be approve on how he addressed the allegations against Diddy. 

The Brooklyn,native has released the second part to “Rap Up 2023.” and In the song he speaks on multiple topics that took pop culture by storm last year. Included in the six-minute long track were some very scathing bars targeting the Bad Boy Entertainment mogul. “He was controlling her, had her on some scared s**t / Paying other n***as to f**k her while he watch that’s some weird s**t,” he rapped. “I’m like, did he do it? Did he drug her? Did he r*** her? / If you ain’t do the s**t, Diddy why did you pay her?”

Uncle Murda went on to further double down on him saying “You was an icon, n***a, you ruined it / Diddy documentary coming out, 50 Cent shooting it / I think it’s called did he not, or did he do the sh*t.” The G-Unit CEO reposted the track seemingly cosigning the controversial effort with a caption that read “2023 Rap up @unclemurda went crazy 😆😆😆😆”. The post was accompanied by a video that featured various clips of Diddy throughout the years including some shots of he and ex girlfriend Cassie.

Uncle Murda also went in on emerging talent Sexyy Red and her infamous viral moment. “Sexyy Red made a sex tape and I saw it / I think she got pregnant while she was getting recorded / And I heard she said she got chlamydia twice, that bi*** ratchet, let me try to give that girl some advice,” he said.

We are very sure that when Bishop T.D. Jakes picked up his smartphone and opened up X, formerly Twitter; he didn’t think he would be trending for this outrageous reason.
The Senior Pastor of The Potter House has been trending all day long on X. No; it wasn’t because of some magnificent sermon he might have dropped, a new book, or some other business endeavor. It was because of the ongoing saga with Bad Boy general Sean Diddy Combs and some eye-opening accusations involving Jakes.
According to a TikTok video from user MYEi$HiA that found its way onto Elon Musk’s awful social media platform without a shred of proof, she claims R&B singer Cassie Ventura handed over evidence to the FBI further incriminating Diddy and a full month after she dropped the bombshell lawsuit accusing the music mogul of disgusting sexual violence against her during their decade-old relationship.
Cassie and Diddy have since settled their legal issues. Still, Ventura’s use of Governor Kathy Hochul’s Adult Survivors Act opened the floodgates for other women to come forward with claims against the rapper and other prominent celebs.
MYEi$HiA went on to claim that Cassie handed the FBI a burner phone belonging to Diddy’s other ex, Kim Porter, whom he had four children with, and tapes from Diddy’s alleged parties.
How Exactly T.D. Jakes Allegedly Became Involved With The Mess
T.D. Jakes’ involvement in the alleged shenanigans came after the TikToker claimed the existence of an email mentioning the pastor who also happened to preside over Kim Porter’s burial following her tragic passing in November 2018.
She also shared a clip of an unknown man who, again, without a shred of proof, claims Cassie turned over tapes of Diddy’s parties featuring numerous prominent individuals, including Jake, who allegedly slept with multiple men while attending the parties.

Again, there is no proof of this, so take all of this with the tiniest grain of salt possible. Still, social media will be social media, and the reactions are something else.

Diddy continues to lose out on multiple bags due to the sexual assault lawsuits levied against him.
Spotted on Variety, a reality show in early production following the embattled music mogul and his family, has been scrapped by Hulu.
The website reports that the show was being developed with the working title Diddy+7 and James Corden’s production company, Fulwell 73, producing.

The scrapped reality show is the latest blow to the Diddy, born Sean Combs’ crumbling empire following the multiple sexual assault lawsuits that came after his ex-girlfriend, singer/actor/model Cassie Ventura alleged that 54-year-old raped and beat her for over a decade.

Combs denied any wrongdoing and would eventually settle with Cassie one day later, but that was not the end of his problems.
Cassie Broke The Damn
A week later, the hits kept coming when Joi Dickerson-Neal said that she was “drugged, sexually assaulted and abused” by Diddy and the victim of “revenge porn” that was created and distributed by the rapper.
A third lawsuit from a woman calling herself Jane Doe came alleging that Diddy and R&B singer and former member of Guy Aaron Hall “took turns raping her and her friends” and Hall’s apartment sometime between 1990 and 1991.
In another lawsuit, another Jane Doe said Combs, Bad Boy Entertainment president Harve Pierre, and a third man raped her when she was 17.
Diddy finally decided to break his silence on December 6 with a statement shared on Instagram and it read:
“ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. For the last couple of weeks, I have sat silently and watched people try to assassinate my character, destroy my reputation and my legacy. 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.”

Welp.

One of the most respected executives in the Rap industry is hoping to clear his name. Harve Pierre has formally denied the recent allegations against him.

TMZ is reporting that the former president of Bad Boy Entertainment is speaking out against some very damming accusations. In an exclusive statement shared with the celebrity news website the man formerly known as Joe Hooker vehemently denies claims that he participated in sexual assault against a minor. “This is a tale of fiction,” he said. “I have never participated in, witnessed, nor heard of anything like this, ever. These disgusting allegations are false and a desperate attempt for financial gain.” Pierre added “I will vigorously protect my reputation and defend my name. Those who know me recognize that these claims are not true.”

The latest lawsuit against Sean “Diddy” Combs also claimed Pierre groomed an unidentified Detroit teen by flying her out on a private plane to New York City for a recording session. There at the studio she says men assaulted her in the bathroom while Pierre smoked crack cocaine from a Pepsi can. The filing states the abuse occurred on multiple occasions throughout 2016 and 2017.
Bad Boy Entertainment founder Diddy has found himself also fighting to keep a good name with multiple lawsuits alleging sexual misconduct. On December 6 he finally spoke up with a post shared throughout all his social media channels. “ENOUGH IS ENOUGH”, the statement read. “FOR THE LAST COUPLE OF WEEKS, I HAVE SAT SILENTLY AND WATCHED PEOPLE TRY TO ASSASSINATE MY CHARACTER, DESTROY MY REPUTATION AND MY LEGACY. SICKENING ACCUSATIONS HAVE BEEN MADE AGAINST ME BY INDIVIDUALS LOOKING FOR A QUICK PAYDAY.” He added “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. SEAN DIDDY COMBS.”

On November 18 Diddy reached a settlement with former girlfriend and Bad Boy Entertainment recording artist Cassandra “Cassie” Ventura. As per his lawyer Ben Brafman the settlement “is in no way an admission of wrongdoing.”

Sean “Diddy” Combs is finding out that multiple sexual assault allegations are bad for business. The Hip-Hop mogul is starting to see companies that were once loyal to him have begun to cut ties after the whirlwind of controversy surrounding him that started when Casandra “Cassie” Ventura filed a lawsuit that claimed he had sexually abused her for years.
Even before Diddy quickly settled the case with Cassie out of court, many speculated that more accusers would come forward with allegations of their own. As of the publication of this story three more women have come forward. The most recent lawsuit claims that Diddy, and two other associates including former Bad Boy exec Harve Pierre, allegedly raped a 17-year-old after flying her out to NYC from Detroit via a private.
The more recent case (at the time of this post) is what made Diddy issued a statement that was “enough was enough,” and he would fight to defend his reputation.
Diddy has always been a hustler, with his hands in multiple business lanes in music, fashion, philanthropy and more. But now some of those entities have started distancing themselves from Diddy, and publicly, too.
We’ve compiled a list of who has dropped Diddy, so far.

1. REVOLT

This one was voluntary. On Tuesday, November 28, REVOLT announced that Diddy would be stepping down from his Chairman position at the company he founded 10 years ago.

2. Various (via Empower Global)

Empire Global is a marketplace backed by Diddy that touts a “Black-Owned Shopping Experience” by offering platforms for up-and-coming brands. According to Rolling Stone, about 19 of those brands no longer want anything to do with Diddy and have jumped ship since the allegations came about. 

3. Capital Preparatory Schools

Diddy had a long and fruitful relationship with the Capital Preparatory Schools that include campuses in the Bronx and Harlem, even paying a surprise visit to the former in late 2022. However, “Following a comprehensive evaluation, a decision has been made to end the partnership between Capital Preparatory Schools and Sean Combs,” said founder Dr. Steve Perry in a statement. “While this decision was not made lightly, we firmly believe it is in the best interest of our organization’s health and future.”

50 Cent is making a documentary on the recent lawsuits against Diddy—and will donate proceeds of the film to sexual assault victims.
As news of a fourth lawsuit filed against Diddy for alleged sexual assault has the public buzzing, 50 Cent is on the offensive by announcing the production of a documentary about the embattled music mogul. On Wednesday (December 6), the rapper shared a clip of former Bad Boy Records artist Mark Curry on camera alleging how Diddy aka Sean Combs would spike bottles of Moet champagne and serve them specifically to women who attended his parties.

When contacted by Entertainment Tonight, a representative for 50 Cent aka Curtis Jackson and G-Unit Film and TV confirmed that the documentary was in production. “I can confirm that the untitled ‘Diddy’ documentary is in development through G-Unit Film and Television with Curtis ’50 Cent’ Jackson serving as Executive Producer, proceeds from this documentary that G-Unit Film & Television receives will go to victims of sexual assault and rape,” the representative said in a statement.
50 Cent has been vocal about Diddy’s alleged misdeeds for quite some time, from trolling the “Can I Live” rapper about allegedly being behind the murder of Tupac Shakur to offering to buy the Revolt TV network after the mogul stepped down in the wake of the sexual abuse lawsuit against him by his former flame, Cassie Ventura. But the clip posted on Instagram also contained a veiled shot at Rick Ross, seen through a clip of Diddy with Ross at an event that was interspersed with Ross’s infamous lyrics from his “U.O.E.N.O.” track with Rocko from 2013: “Put Molly all in her champagne, she ain’t even know it/I took her home and I enjoyed that, she ain’t even know it.”
The latest lawsuit against Diddy alleges that he and others including Bad Boy Records exec Harve Pierre participated in a “gang rape” of the victim, who was 17, in 2003.  On Wednesday, Diddy posted a statement to his own Instagram account. “For the last couple of weeks, I have sat silently and watched people try to assassinate my character, destroy my reputation and my legacy,” he wrote. “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.”

A fourth alleged victim has come forward to file a lawsuit against Sean “Diddy” Combs, but this time he isn’t staying quiet. The Bad Boy Records founder issued a statement saying “enough is enough” while adamantly denying all the accusations of sexual assault and abuse against him.
On Wednesday, December 6, a Jane Doe filed a lawsuit against Diddy accusing him of sexual assaulting her when she was a 17-year-old high-school student. This is the fourth in a series of lawsuits that began when his ex-girlfriend and ex-Bad Boy Records artist Casandra “Cassie” Ventura sued Diddy and accused him of years of sexual abuse. The case was quickly settled, but two more women, one publicly and another a Jane Doe, came forward with their own lawsuits, the latter also alleging that she was sexually assaulted by Diddy and R&B singer Aaron Hall.

Reportedly, the same lawyers who filed the complaint on Cassie’s behalf also handled the latest lawsuit, which also comes with a “trigger warning.”
Diddy took to social media to adamantly deny any and all allegations. “ENOUGH IS ENOUGH,” says the all-caps statement. “FOR THE LAST COUPLE OF WEEKS, I HAVE SAT SILENTLY AND WATCHED PEOPLE TRY TO ASSASSINATE MY CHARACTER, DESTROY MY REPUTATION AND MY LEGACY. SICKENING ACCUSATIONS HAVE BEEN MADE AGAINST ME BY INDIVIDUALS LOOKING FOR A QUICK PAYDAY.”
He added, “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.”

Per Variety, the most recent, Diddy as well as former Bad Boy Records exec Harve Pierre, is accused of gang raping a 17-year-old girl in 2003. The victim alleges that she was flown out from her Detroit home via private jet to New York City, where after being given “copious amounts” of alcohol and drugs Diddy raped her over a bathroom sink while she went in and out of consciousness. She also claims that she was raped by Pierre and a third man.
The complaint, which was filed in New York State Federal Court, also includes blurred-out photos of the victim in Combs’ old Daddy’s House studio and sitting in the mogul’s lap.
The detailed allegations have led to a field day on social media. We’ve compiled some of the more poignant reactions in the gallery. Be mindful that some of them can be triggering.

Days after Diddy’s former bodyguard, Roger Bonds, co-signed Cassie’s story about Diddy’s abusive ways, the man is seemingly walking back his statements and “clarifying” his initial remarks.

Over the weekend, Diddy’s former head of security, Roger Bonds, took to Instagram to backtrack on his previous statements in which he spoke about having to break up fights between Diddy and Cassie. He explained that what he saw was actually more in-tune with everyday relationship problems that couples go through. Sure, guy.

Sitting in his car and once again opening up about the Diddy and Cassie situation, Bonds went on to clarify what he meant when speaking about what he witnessed just days before stating: “This ain’t about nothin’ yo. I seen Cassie and Diddy fight. Yeah, I seen them fight—just like everybody else fight. Just like I fight. Just like y’all fight with your man and y’all fight with your girl.”
This isn’t suspicious at all…
The post comes days after Roger appeared to co-sign Cassie’s abuse allegations against Diddy and insinuated that he had witnessed more than what the general public knew.
Why Roger Bonds would feel the need to suddenly change his tune on the situation and try to downplay the seriousness of what he stated earlier is anyone’s guess. But it seems like he’s distancing himself from anything that could make Diddy look bad, so don’t be surprised if the man never speaks on this situation again.
Check out Bonds try to clean up his own words in the clip below, and let us know your thoughts on the situation in the comments section below.

Roger Bonds, a former head of security for Sean “Diddy” Combs, who was named in the explosive lawsuit brought by Casandra “Cassie” Ventura, has vowed to tell his side of the story. Bonds was named in Cassie’s lawsuit and seemingly backed up claims made by the singer in a recent video.
Roger Bonds, who worked with Diddy over a decade ago, took to his Instagram page on Tuesday (November 28) to share his side of the story. In Cassie’s lawsuit, Bonds was mentioned as the individual who stopped a violent moment between her and Combs. While Bonds never mentions Combs by name, he added that the incident named in the lawsuit was just one of many.

Bonds added in the description of the Instagram post that more details would emerge and it appears he is gearing up to release a  documentary or book as the hashtags for the post read “#2FacesTHEDOCUMENTARY” and “#ROGERBONDSMYTRUTH.”
After sharing the video and the potentially damning information within, it appears that Bonds has deleted his Instagram page for reasons unknown to us. Given the fact that Cassie settled the case one day after bringing the lawsuit to Diddy, it could be speculated that Bonds cannot legally speak on the case although, to our knowledge, he had no such agreement with Combs.
Below are some videos and replies obtained from X, formerly known as Twitter. One such reply makes mention of Bonds’ son, who was accused of murder in Africa, something Bonds addressed in a DJ Vlad interview over a year ago.
As more information about Roger Bonds becomes public, we’ll return with updates.
