Diddy Hit with Lawsuit from Street Musician Accusing Him of Rape
Diddy is embroiled in another legal dispute, as a street musician has filed a lawsuit against him, accusing the mogul of rape. The unnamed plaintiff claims that the encounter took place outside a Los Angeles nightclub, where he was allegedly approached by an individual who introduced himself as a representative of Diddy. The musician, who was performing on guitar at the time, was invited to a private party, where he says Diddy handed him a drink and began discussing his musical ambitions.
According to the lawsuit, the musician admired Diddy’s necklace, which prompted an invitation to view his collection. However, after moving to another room, the plaintiff allegedly began to feel dizzy and staggered. At that point, Diddy reportedly asked, “Have you ever sucked a dick before?” When the man rejected the question, Diddy allegedly ignored his refusal, exposed himself, and proceeded to force oral and anal sex on the musician until he blacked out.
Allegations and Legal Response
The man claims to have woken up the next morning with an IV at his home, later being dropped off at the club. The lawsuit outlines severe physical pain, emotional distress, and humiliation suffered by the musician, who is now seeking compensation for the alleged assault. The legal action was filed by Tony Buzbee, the attorney who represents several of Diddy’s accusers.
In response to the lawsuit, Diddy’s legal team has vehemently denied the accusations. They described the allegations as “racially ridiculous” and “demonstrably false,” affirming their intent to fight the claims in court. Diddy’s lawyers issued a statement saying, “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.” The statement also stressed their confidence in the judicial process, asserting, “In court, the truth will prevail: that Mr. Combs never sexually assaulted or trafficked anyone — man or woman, adult or minor.”
The Legal Battle Continues
This lawsuit adds to a growing list of legal challenges Diddy has faced in recent years. As the case progresses, Diddy and his team remain determined to contest the accusations, emphasizing their belief in the strength of the facts and the judicial process. The public and legal outcomes will determine the next steps in this ongoing controversy.
