Expressing frustration over recent sexual assault allegations, music mogul Diddy took to his Instagram to vehemently deny the accusations, stating that the claims were orchestrated by individuals seeking financial gain. Diddy asserted his innocence, declaring his intent to fight for his name, family, and the truth.
The denial follows a new lawsuit filed against Diddy, alleging that in 2003, a 17-year-old girl was “gang-raped” inside his Manhattan recording studio. The lawsuit also claimed that the victim had been trafficked across state lines and provided with drugs and alcohol. This marks the fourth sexual assault accusation against Diddy in three weeks.
The controversy began when Diddy’s ex-girlfriend, Cassie, filed a lawsuit on November 17, accusing him of rape and detailing coercive behavior during their 10-year relationship. Despite Diddy denying the allegations, he swiftly settled with Cassie out of court the next day, agreeing to pay the requested $30 million in damages.
Since Cassie’s lawsuit, more women have come forward with similar claims against Diddy. The music mogul, visibly angered by the allegations, has vowed to clear his name and face the accusations head-on.
