Sean "Diddy" Combs, the 54-year-old music mogul and entrepreneur, is facing a wave of seven new lawsuits alleging sexual assault and rape from multiple accusers, including claims involving minors. One lawsuit filed in New York federal court accuses Combs of drugging and raping a 13-year-old girl at a 2000 MTV Video Music Awards afterparty in New York City, with the alleged involvement of two unnamed celebrities. Another woman alleges she was gang-raped by Combs and his entourage in the Bay Area in 2018 as retaliation for suggesting he was involved in the 1996 murder of rapper Tupac Shakur; she is seeking $50 million in damages. A male accuser has also come forward, claiming Combs sexually assaulted him when he was 16 years old. In total, the seven new civil lawsuits filed against Combs allege incidents spanning from 2000 to 2022. Combs has denied the allegations, and his legal team has requested a gag order in response to the lawsuits.
