Hollywood Sex Scandal: Who is rapper P. Diddy and why his 'white parties' are discussed worldwide.
Discussions are spreading online about the arrest of famous American rapper Sean Combs, known as P. Diddy, and the scandal related to his name. The investigation features the names of stars who might be connected to these events.
In recent days, internet users are finding more and more evidence regarding this case.
The website «Glavcom» has gathered all the information known at this point: about what happened at P. Diddy's parties, which stars participated, and the influence the rapper had on artists.
Diddy's Career and 'White Parties'
P. Diddy was previously known as Puff Daddy. He has won Grammy Awards and other accolades for his musical achievements.
Since 1999, the rapper has organized 'white parties,' where all guests had to dress in white. The event was dedicated to charity and had an unofficial, more explicit part.
Before his arrest, P. Diddy recorded a video mentioning the names of stars who visited his home. Among them were Will Smith, Paris Hilton, Mariah Carey, Kanye West, Cara Delevingne, Snoop Dogg, J.Lo, Beyoncé, Oprah Winfrey, and others.
The internet believes that these stars were not just guests but also became victims. Among them, reportedly, was Justin Bieber, a former protégé of P. Diddy.
Bieber's fans are concerned about a video where he appears confused. Sean Combs spoke about his meetings with Bieber but then questioned why they rarely meet.
In 2020, Bieber stated that he wanted to protect another singer, Billie Eilish, from harm in the music industry. Fans began to interpret this as a reference to his relationship with P. Diddy, which might be abusive and violent.
When did P. Diddy catch the police's interest?
The scandal began in November 2023, when former performer Cassie Ventura accused P. Diddy of rape, sex trafficking, and physical abuse. She also accused him of blowing up rapper Kid Cudi's car.
The rapper denied all allegations, considering them an attempt to get money from him. However, the next day Ventura withdrew her claims. Many believe they reached a settlement.
But in May 2024, police reopened the investigation against P. Diddy when CNN released video footage of a fight between the rapper and Ventura, captured by surveillance cameras in 2016. The rapper changed his testimony, admitting there were instances of physical violence but expressing shame for his actions.
After Ventura's statement against P. Diddy, other victims came forward. Each month, more lawsuits are filed against him.
For example, in November 2023, two victims filed police reports accusing the rapper of sexual assault and distributing intimate videos without their consent. One lawsuit also mentions sexual assault and filming by P. Diddy in 1990-1991.
Music producer Lil Rod also filed a lawsuit against the rapper, accusing him of drug addiction, sexual assault, and forced contact with a prostitute. In his lawsuit, Lil Rod noted that P. Diddy invited celebrities, including Prince Harry, to scandalous parties where sexual crimes were committed.
In September, singer Dawn Richard also accused P. Diddy of sexual assault and attempts directed against her.
P. Diddy's Arrest and Findings During Searches
On March 25, 2024, searches were conducted at Sean Combs' house, during which computers and other electronic devices were seized. After the arrest, information about findings in the house surfaced, including drugs, weapons, and many bottles of baby oil and lubricants.
The rapper's defense stated that all of this was bought in bulk according to American tradition and mentioned the chain of stores where these items were purchased. However, the supermarket's management denied this information.
P. Diddy was arrested on September 16 and charged with human trafficking for sexual exploitation and racketeering. He is currently in custody. The rapper attempted to get out on bail, offering to pay 50 million dollars, but the judge refused, claiming he might threaten witnesses.
It is worth noting that one of the richest musicians in the world was arrested in the USA without the right to bail.
