State Champ Radio sexual assault
B.o.B, a rapper who amassed hits early on in his career as part of T.I.’s Grand Hustle imprint roster, is now being accused of kidnapping and sexual assault by a Texas woman. The unidentified Jane Doe says that B.o.B. invited her back to his room at an event in April after bringing the woman onstage for a portion of the show.
CBS 8 out of San Diego reports that B.o.B, real name Bobby Ray Simmons, performed at the California Beer Festival at the Del Mar Fairgrounds as part of the Tequila and Taco Festival. Jane Doe, a married mother of two, states that B.o.B’s music helped her through a rough patch as she contended with cancer and grew attached to his creative works.
The lawsuit alleges that during the concert, Simmons invited the woman onstage to dance suggestively, which is apparently a part of his stage show. She then claims that the rapper’s manager invited her to an afterparty at a hotel suite. It was there that Jane Doe said the assault took place.

“[Jane] viewed the unexpected invitation as a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to hang out with one of the biggest stars in Hip Hop, whose music played a major role in keeping her emotionally healthy to continue her arduous struggle against cancer,” states the lawsuit. “[She]couldn’t believe how her life had turned around since the cancer-free diagnosis. Moreover, she figured everything would be okay with her cousin by her side; after all, Mr. Simmons’ wife would be there also.”
The suit continues detailing Jane Doe and her cousin heading to the Westin Hotel in San Diego’s Gaslamp District in the wee hours of the morning. After heading up to a penthouse suite, Doe claims she was offered drugs but turned them down. The party went without a hitch until the cousin left Doe to obtain a jacket and left her with Simmons.
From there, Doe alleges Simmons grabbed her by the throat and forcibly kissed her while groping her. The lawsuit then depicts a harrowing scene of Simmons’ wife bursting into the room with the rapper yelling at his wife to leave as he attempted his assault. After a knock on the door by a manager, Doe says she was able to escape and returned to the lobby to find her cousin, who wasn’t allowed back into the suite after getting her coat.
Jane Doe continued in her suit to add that B.o.B’s team was well aware of the heinous act he allegedly attempted in April. So far, the rapper has yet to issue a formal reply to the claim.

Sean “Diddy” Combs’ defense team is now trying to present their client as just a regular guy with freaky kinks.
Spotted on Vulture, Diddy’s third sexual misconduct accuser, “Jane Doe,” who many on the web believe to be 50 Cent’s ex, Daphne Joy, was cross-examined by the disgraced music mogul’s legal team on June 10 with a line of questioning that aim to paint their client as an egregiously horny man.
When asked if she would describe Diddy as a voyeur, Jane Doe responded, “I would use the word cuck for him, more so.”
Jane Doe Brings Up Bi-Sexuality During Cross-Examination
Doe further explained she came to that conclusion after doing a deep dive into cuckoldry because he wanted so many of those nights, so wanted to get an understanding of her ex’s freaky ways.
“I came across this word that was called a ‘cuck,’ a cuckolder,” Doe testified on Tuesday (June 10). “I was just trying to understand… I was just like, this is spot-on.”
In another instance Doe seemingly alluded to Diddy’s allegedly bi-sexuality.
“One [reason is] the cuck derives pleasure from seeing his woman derive pleasure from the other man,” Doe explained during the cross-examination. “Cucks could also have a bi-curiosity that they’re too ashamed to experience themselves, so they use the women.”
The Defense Focused On Previous Conversations With Jane Doe
Jane Doe’s cross-examination by Defense attorney Teny Geragos followed three days of testimony.
She accused the Bad Boy general of pressuring her into taking part in days-long sexual encounters with male escorts.
During this time, Diddy watched and pleasured himself. These freakishly horny events occurred between mid-2021 and late summer 2024.
Geragos, through her line of questioning, attempted to paint a picture for the jury in which Jane was a willing participant during what they referred to as “hotel nights.”
“You loved Mr. Combs, right?” Geragos asked Jane, and she replied, “Yes.” “You even said two days ago that you love him currently,” Geragos pressed. Jane said, “I do.”
Jane Doe Said She “Relished” The Time They Spent Together After “Hotel Nights”
Geragos also brought up conversations with Jane when she sat down with Diddy’s defense team back in April, pointing to her “relishing” the time they spent together after “hotel nights.”
Per Vulture:
Geragos referenced a prior conversation she had with Jane — who had sat down with Combs’s defense team as recently as April — where she described relishing the time after these encounters.
“I think you told me before that you enjoyed taking care of him after these ‘hotel nights’?” Geragos asked. “Yes, he was my baby,” Jane answered. Did Jane want to be close to her partner, her lover? Jane said yes.
She was asked, did Diddy enjoy the “foot rubs” part of their time together? Hugging and cuddling him? Bathing him? Jane answered in the affirmative. Jane said that they would stay up late together watching his favorite show, Dateline. Geragos asked about their conversations together.
“You enjoyed listening to his perspective on different issues?” Jane said yes. This included Diddy’s faith. “He had a favorite pastor, and he would also put a lot of sermons on the television and we would watch it together and we would talk about it, and he would send me sermons.”
In even stranger testimony, “Jane Doe” also revealed that Diddy compared himself to Michael Jordan, her to Kobe Bryant, and the escort they used during their threesomes, or “trifectas” as he labeled them, to Shaquille O’Neal.
Audio of a voice message sent to Jane Doe from Diddy reveals that he had a nickname for Jane Doe, his “crack pipe.”
We wished we were making this stuff up.
This trial needs to wrap up immediately.

One of the biggest names in fashion will have to defend their name in court. Riccardo Tisci has been accused of drugging and sexually assaulting a man.
Hypebeast is reporting that the esteemed designer has been hit with a lawsuit that claims he is predator. A man named Patrick Cooper says he met the former creative director of Burberry and Givenchy back in June of 2024 through a mutual friend. The three enjoyed a night out with food and drinks. While at Harlem hotspot 2 Sisters 4 Brothers, he believes Riccardo Tisci discreetly slipped a drug into his cocktail rendering him “unable to fight, stop or defend himself.” In an exclusive interview with the Independent he detailed his experience.
“I remember sipping the drink, and I don’t remember anything else,” Cooper explained. “To this day, I still don’t remember anything. Nothing.” Cooper went on to detail that the next thing he remembered was waking up in Tisci’s SoHo townhouse. “My intentions were never to end up in Riccardo Tisci’s bed. When I woke up, he was kissing me,” he added. Cooper says after gathering himself he went to the hospital for rape testing and filed a report with local New York City police.
Patrick reveals he contacted Tisci the next day and the designer claimed he didn’t remember him at all. “I sent the picture, and he goes, ‘I still don’t remember you,’” Cooper said. “I told him, ‘How do you not remember me? I was at your house.’ He goes, ‘Oh yeah, I remember you now. Nothing happened.’ I said, ‘I woke up naked.’ He said, ‘No, you had clothes on.’ And that’s when I knew.”
The Independent reached out to Riccardo Tisci for comment but he immediately hung up the phone. His agent Anne Nelson of United Talent Agency told the periodical “I regret to inform you that I cannot comment on any matters related to the pending litigation.” A representative from the NYPD provided no further details on the case. “The NYPD takes sexual assault and rape cases extremely seriously, and urges anyone who has been a victim to file a police report so we can perform a comprehensive investigation, and offer support and services to survivors.”
Riccardo Tisci is accused of assault, battery, false imprisonment and intentional infliction of emotional distress.

Diddy’s legal concerns continue to grow. Another man has filed a lawsuit claiming he was sexually assaulted by the disgrace Hip-Hop mogul.
TMZ is reporting that yet another unidentified male is suing Diddy over being allegedly violated. John Doe says he was a street musician playing the guitar in front of a Los Angeles nightclub when one of Diddy’s handlers approached him and invited him to a private function hosted by the mogul. He was then driven to Diddy’s home and met with the executive as the two discussed his musical aspirations over cocktails. Later in the conversation the man complimented Diddy’s jewelry to which Diddy invited him to see some more of his collection in a different room.
The two went to a private room and where John Doe says instantly felt dizzy and groggy. He claims Diddy bluntly asked “have you ever sucked a d*** before?” to which he responded “no.” Diddy is said to have then pulled out his penis and added “you should try it.” John Doe says he was forced to perform oral sex on him and was taken anally shortly after. The man says he woke up the next morning with someone giving him intravenous therapy. After the IV was complete he was driven back to the nightclub. To no surprise this lawsuit was also filed by Tony Buzzbee.
Diddy’s legal counsel have denied these claims via a formal statement to TMZ. “As we’ve said before, Mr. Combs cannot respond to every new publicity stunt, even in response to claims that are facially ridiculous or demonstrably false” it read. Mr. Combs and his legal team have full confidence in the facts and the integrity of the judicial process. In court, the truth will prevail: that Mr. Combs never sexually assaulted or trafficked anyone — man or woman, adult or minor.”
Diddy’s federal trial is set to commence on May 5.

Another day, another lawsuit has been filed against Diddy accusing him of sexual assault, this time from a male singer and comic.
According to reports, another accuser has come forth with a lawsuit against Diddy, alleging that he was assaulted by the Bad Boy Records founder back in 2015. The alleged victim, referred to as John Doe in the filing, filed the suit in New York County Supreme Court with his defense attorney, Tony Buzbee, Monday (Feb. 3). “The conduct described herein is shockingly typical of how defendant Sean Combs conducted himself for many years,” the lawsuit states. “Sean Combs believed he was above the law. He is not.”
In the filing, the victim alleged that he first met Diddy aka Sean Combs at an event he performed at in Los Angeles, California, when he was 23 years old. One of Diddy’s associates told him that if he did well, Diddy would consider signing him to Bad Boy Records. After performing, he was invited to the VIP area where the mogul and his entourage containing some known artists were partying and indulging in drugs. He then claimed someone handed him a drink sent over by Diddy, and that he began to feel lightheaded and passed out after a sip. Before losing consciousness, he saw Diddy and other members of the group engaging in sexual acts.
John Doe would then go on to claim that he woke up to Diddy grabbing his genitals and felt that he was attempting to perform oral sex on him. He then claims that Diddy threatened to ruin his career as he tried to fight him off, escaping only when Diddy demanded that he have sex with a woman in front of everyone. The accuser would feign that he had to go to the bathroom, which allowed him to flee. He is suing for damages.
“Mr. Combs cannot respond to every new publicity stunt, even in response to claims that are facially ridiculous or demonstrably false,” a statement from Diddy’s legal team read after the latest lawsuit was filed. “Mr. Combs and his legal team have full confidence in the facts and the integrity of the judicial process. In court, the truth will prevail: that Mr. Combs never sexually assaulted or trafficked anyone — man or woman, adult or minor.”
Diddy is currently incarcerated in a Brooklyn detention center, awaiting his trial on May 5.

Tony Buzbee’s character is now again in question. Jay-Z has blasted the lawyer for not meeting his client prior to filing the lawsuit against him.
As per TMZ, Jay-Z’s legal team is taking umbrage with how Tony Buzbee goes about his business. In documents obtained by the celebrity gossip site Hov’s counsel call out that the controversial lawyer never met Jane Doe before filing a sexual assault claim against the rapper and Diddy. The new filing says the Texas-based attorney blatantly missed several “factual inconsistencies” in her story and much more.

“Initially, he deflected, saying Plaintiff’s ‘case was referred to [his] firm by another, who vetted it prior to sending it’ to him, and that his firm would ‘continue to vet her claims and collect corroborating data,” the documentation reads. “Now, he concedes that he did not even meet with Plaintiff before signing his name to the complaint, and fails to identify any evidence that corroborates anything his client alleged.”
Jay-Z’s lawyer also went on to question Buzbee’s business principles. “Mr. Carter seeks only to hold Mr. Buzbee to the ethical standards that constrain any responsible attorney who would solemnly sign his name to allegations in court.” TMZ contacted Tony about the suit against him to which he called “weak and desperate.” He also says that he not only interviewed Jane Doe prior to filing the rape lawsuit against Jay-Z and Diddy but four other lawyers did too.
Back in December an unidentified woman claimed that she was sexually assaulted by both moguls at an MTV Video Music Awards after-party back in 2000. During an interview with NBC News there were several inconsistencies in her responses related to the timing, her father picking her up and individuals she spoke to that day.

Jay-Z is not wasting any time in clearing his name. He has filed a new motion to dismiss the sexual assault lawsuit against him.
As spotted on Variety, the Brooklyn, N.Y., native has submitted another request to have a rape case terminated. Back in October, an unidentified woman filed a claim against Jay-Z and Diddy alleging the two raped her at a MTV Music Video Awards after party in 2000. As expected, the news of the allegation soon went viral to which the “Song Cry” rapper quickly responded with a written statement denying the claims. Jane Doe would go on to participate in an interview with NBC News and seemed to contradict her original statements detailed in the original filing.

Soon after Jay-Z’s legal representation filed a request to dismiss the claim. On Dec. 26, 2024, Judge Analisa Torres denied it and ruled that Jane Doe can move forward with her lawsuit anonymously. The judge has since granted Jay-Z permission to request for a dismissal. His lawyer, Alex Spiro, filed a new motion Wednesday (Jan. 8), and according to Variety, the new document cites a “series of inconsistencies in the woman’s account.” This new filing also asks that Tony Buzbee, the lawyer representing Jane Doe, be imposed with a fee for “alleging facts without a sufficient investigation or by failing to withdraw those allegations once it is clear that they are false or exceedingly unlikely to be true.”
The legal professional has responded via a formal statement to Variety saying, “They are dead wrong. We won’t be bullied or intimidated, ever.”

Now that Diddy’s locked up and facing multiple lawsuits from both men and women who allege that the music icon sexually assaulted them over the decades, he has been slapped with yet another lawsuit from a woman who says she too fell victim to the now notoriously disgraced mogul.
According to TMZ, LaTroya Grayson has just filed a lawsuit against Diddy, Bad Boy Records and other entities as she claims that Diddy drugged and raped her in 2006 after she won a local radio contest in Oklahoma that sent her to one of Diddy’s infamous “White Parties” in New York City. After locking down two tickets to NYC courtesy of KJAMZ radio station, Grayson says she and her sibling attended the Diddler’s soiree and ultimately experienced the horror that many of Diddy’s alleged victims have been coping with for years.
Per TMZ:
Grayson says she and her sibling went to the party — which was changed to a “Black Party” — but were separated when entering the party … with Grayson getting in and her sibling being left outside.
Grayson says waitresses circulated around the room with premade drinks and — after she says she had only two — she began to feel sick and headed for the restroom.
Grayson says she has no recollection of the rest of the night … instead waking up at Saint Vincent’s Medical Center. When she woke up, she says she had a ripped shirt, no underwear, and most of her money was gone.
It’s important to note, Grayson remembers nothing about this assault she says happened … so, she can’t say with certainty who allegedly raped her — and, she never mentions actually seeing or speaking with Diddy at the event.
Grayson says when she got back to her hometown of Oklahoma she received an anonymous call from a woman warning her against pursing legal action against Diddy saying that his celebrity status would basically protect him and she’d be “wasting her time.” Unfortunately, it seems like the warning worked as Grayson has remained mum about the incident for almost two decades.
Naturally, Diddy’s lawyers are denying any such assault took place and have dismissed Grayson’s claim as “pure fiction,” while pointing out that she doesn’t actually remember the assault taking place. “As we’ve said before, Mr. Combs cannot respond to every baseless lawsuit and lawyer-driven money grab. He has faith in the judicial process, in which fact will be separated from opportunistic fabrications like these.”
As we’ve said before, one has to wonder how many more people will ultimately come forward with their own horror stories about “The Diddler.”
That upcoming docuseries about Diddy is going to be one helluva ride, b.

Three more accusers who are male have come forward with sexual assault lawsuits against Diddy, who wants to “seek sanctions” on other lawsuits.
On Thursday (Dec. 12), three more male accusers filed sexual assault lawsuits against Diddy in New York’s Supreme Court. The plaintiffs all allege that Diddy drugged them and then sodomized them in incidents that took place from 2019 to 2022. These new suits add to the over 30 suits already filed against the embattled mogul.
Each of the three allegations made comes with certain nuanced differences – one of the accusers claimed that the alleged rape was filmed by Diddy’s associates and that he was paid $2,500. The others did not mention receiving any payoff after their attacks. Two of the accusers alleged that they were raped in hotel suites – one of them claiming that their attack took place at the Park Hyatt Hotel in Manhattan, where Diddy was apprehended by federal agents in September. The other plaintiff alleged that he was drugged and woke up to Diddy sodomizing him along with other Bad Boy Records members at one of his parties in the Hamptons.
In an interview with the BBC, the attorney representing the accusers, Thomas Giuffra, said that nearly 60 people reached out to his office wishing to file complaints against Diddy, aka Sean Combs. He said that he and his team reviewed the allegations made by each, then proceeded to move forward with the three cases, shielding the accusers’ identities for fear of reprisal from Diddy.
“These complaints are full of lies. We will prove them false and seek sanctions against every unethical lawyer who filed fictional claims against him,” lawyers for Diddy said after the new lawsuits were filed. Diddy is currently incarcerated at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn awaiting his trial on charges of racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking, and transportation to engage in prostitution. The trial is set for May 2025.
