Sean “Diddy” Combs Faces Fresh Sexual Assault Allegations Amid Ongoing Federal Probe

By Edem Latsu Nukafu

Embattled rapper and music mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs is once again under scrutiny following new sexual assault allegations filed by former porn star Adria English. This latest complaint, lodged in New York, adds to a series of legal challenges the star has faced in recent months.

Ms. English’s lawsuit alleges that Mr. Combs “forced and coerced [her] to engage in sex work for him” at various parties and threatened to ruin her career if she did not comply. The 114-page filing details 33 separate allegations against Mr. Combs and his associates, covering incidents that purportedly took place between 2004 and 2009.

Mr. Combs, one of rap’s most successful figures, has consistently denied all allegations of sexual assault and physical abuse, including those in the latest complaint. His lawyer reiterated his innocence in a statement to US media: “No matter how many lawsuits are filed, it wonโ€™t change the fact that Mr. Combs has never sexually assaulted or sex trafficked anyone. Mr. Combs is confident he will prevail against these and other baseless claims in court.โ€

These new accusations come amid reports that Mr. Combs is also the subject of a federal criminal investigation. Although there is no indication that charges are imminent, NBC News has reported that his homes in Los Angeles and Miami were raided earlier this year as part of an investigation into human trafficking.

Mr. Combs’ legal troubles escalated in November when his ex-girlfriend, Cassandra “Cassie” Ventura, accused him of rape and sexual trafficking over a decade-long period. The lawsuit was settled for an undisclosed sum, with Mr. Combs’ team clarifying that the settlement did not constitute an admission of wrongdoing.

Despite this settlement, allegations of abuse have continued to surface. Earlier this year, Mr. Combs apologized after a video emerged showing him attacking Ms. Ventura in a hotel hallway in 2016.

The ongoing federal investigation, details of which remain undisclosed, has added another layer of complexity to Mr. Combs’ legal battles. Federal officials and Mr. Combs’ legal team have yet to comment specifically on the investigation.

As these legal challenges unfold, the public and the media continue to scrutinize Mr. Combs’ actions and the allegations against him. The outcome of these cases could have significant repercussions for one of the most influential figures in the rap industry.
