Hip hop magnate Sean Combs, also known as Diddy, has been arrested on blockbuster charges that could signal a #MeToo reckoning in the music industry. The industry has long evaded such scrutiny, unlike Hollywood and the media. The charges against Combs may prove to be an inflection point, initiating a broader examination of misconduct within music. "Music is finally having its #MeToo moment," said Joshua Pederson, an associate professor of humanities at Boston University.
