While Sean “Diddy” Combs became a definitive figure in hip hop — as his career spread from music to fashion, spirits and more, climbing to the top echelons of these industries — reports over the past year have made clear that rumors of his conduct behind closed doors persisted for years. The first crack in the dam came in November, when accusations in a legal complaint from his ex-girlfriend, “Me & U” singer Cassie, opened the door to what’s now mounted to 10 legal complaints against the mogul. On Sept. 17, he was arrested in Manhattan on charges that included sex trafficking, forced labor, coercion to engage in prostitution and narcotics distribution.

Combs entered a not guilty plea on these charges and, in a statement after his arrest, his attorney Marc Agnifilo said the U.S. Attorney’s Office is pursuing an “unjust prosecution,” adding that Combs has cooperated in the investigation.

In the live service genre of the video game industry, cosmetics and skins have become the bread and butter of monetization for games and studios. And one way where studios have really innovated in this aspect are collaboration skins with popular content creators. Fortnite made leaps in this area with its Icon Series skins.

In 2023, Activision attempted to replicate this success with Call of Duty by making a skin for popular content creator Nickmercs. This backfired after the streamer was caught in a controversy which led to the removal of the skin. After this TimTheTatman requested the removal of his own skin, and since then Activision has stopped adding content creator skins to CoD games.

Call of Duty is falling flat on its face Scmp getting a skin in a new game before CoD is crazy.

Beyond the bizarre rules and alleged goings-on, one detail that’s grabbed everyone’s attention is Diddy’s choice of decor, mirrors covering every inch of the venue. And let’s just say, his reason for this wasn’t exactly a good one.

Sean Combs is still awaiting the next move by the Department of Justice after the feds raided the much accused and now scorned “Missing You” performer’s LA and Miami’s homes earlier this year. However, Combs went on the offensive Monday in the hopes of having his former Love Album producer Lil Rod’s $30 million sexual assault and trafficking lawsuit dismissed.

“Jones’ Second Amended Complaint is his third attempt to dress up a run of the mill commercial disagreement as a salacious Rico conspiracy,” declares Combs’ Sher Tremonte Llp’s lawyers in a memorandum of law supporting the motion to toss the action first filed by Rodney Jones Jr., Aka Lil Rod, in February 2024.

Update: In a strongly worded statement to the media, Diddy (aka Sean Combs) and his lawyer called the Homeland Security raids a “witchhunt.” Here’s a statement via his attourney Aaron Dyer:

“There is no excuse for the excessive show of force and hostility exhibited by authorities or the way his children and employees were treated. Mr. Combs was never detained but spoke to and cooperated with authorities. Despite media speculation, neither Mr. Combs nor any of his family members have been arrested nor has their ability to travel been restricted in any way. This unprecedented ambush — paired with an advanced, coordinated media presence — leads to a premature rush to judgment of Mr. Combs and is nothing more than a witch hunt based on meritless accusations made in civil lawsuits. There has been no finding of criminal or civil liability with any of these allegations. Mr. Combs is innocent...

On Monday, the Department of Homeland Security raided the Holmby Hills, California, and Miami mansions of producer Sean “Diddy” Combs as part of a federal inquiry into sex trafficking accusations surrounding him.

According to law enforcement officials, the 17,000-square-foot mansion in Holmby Hills was raided by Homeland Security investigations agents on March 25.

The officials said that the agents had served a search warrant and gathered evidence on behalf of an investigation being run by the prosecutors in the Southern District of New York.

“Earlier today, Homeland Security Investigations New York executed law enforcement actions as part of an ongoing investigation, with assistance from Hsi Los Angeles, Hsi Miami, and our local law enforcement partners,” an Hsi spokesman said in a statement. “We will provide further information as it becomes available.”

Facing multiple accusation of rape and sex trafficking, Sean “Diddy” Combs saw his homes in L.A. and Miami raid Monday by the federal government.

“Earlier today, Homeland Security Investigations New York executed law enforcement actions as part of an ongoing investigation, with assistance from Hsi Los Angeles, Hsi Miami, and our local law enforcement partners,” a spokesperson for the federal agency told Deadline. “We will provide further information as it becomes available.”

There is no official confirmation that Combs, aka Diddy, is the direct target of the investigation. However, a well placed law enforcement source tells Deadline that Combs is “at the center of their actions” today. The US Attorney’s office in the Southern District of New York are also involved in the matter, with a possible criminal case being put together, I hear.

After music producer Rodney “Lil Rod” Jones Jr. accused Sean “Diddy” Combs of sexually harassing and assaulting him, Combs is pushing back hard at the allegations.

Late last month, Jones, who had worked with Combs on his most recent studio album, The Love Album: Off the Grid, filed a lawsuit against the rap mogul in U.S. federal court for the southern district of New York.

The producer claimed that Combs “forcibly touched and attempted and/or threatened to touch [Jones’] intimate areas and/or touched [Jones] with his own intimate body parts” while they worked on The Love Album: Off the Grid.

He also accused Combs and his associates, including his son, Justin Combs, his chief of staff at Combs Global Enterprises, of participating in “a sex-trafficking venture.”

“Justin Combs categorically denies these absurd allegations,” a representative for Justin Combs said in a statement. “They are all lies! This is a...

The last time Sean Combs’ music competed at the Grammys, a then-unknown Mark Zuckerberg had just created Facebook, Nipplegate occurred at the Super Bowl and The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King garnered a record-tying 11 Oscars. It was 2004, and Combs, aka Diddy, won best rap performance by a group or duo — his third Grammy — for the thumping hit “Shake Ya Tailfeather,” featuring Nelly and Murphy Lee. The track appeared on the Bad Boys II soundtrack, which Diddy executive produced and released on his Bad Boy label.

So his return to the Grammys, two decades later with a nomination for best progressive R&b album for his The Love Album: Off the Grid, is a major feat — and a proud moment for the artist. Some would even call the nomination a win (though we should note that there is zero chance his album can compete with Sza’s...
