Male Escort Claims Diddy Raped Him, Took Credit for Tupac's Murder in New Lawsuit
A male escort became the latest individual to sue music mogul Sean 'Diddy' Combs this week, citing an alleged 2012 sexual assault in a Manhattan hotel. The plaintiff John Doe also claims the rapper threatened to have him killed following the assault — the same way he could 'get Pac [Tupac Shakur] hit' in 1996, the rapper threatened, according to the suit.
In a suit filed Wednesday in New York, the victim, identified only as John Doe, states that Combs raped him at the Intercontinental Hotel in New York City after hiring him through a 'male companion' service, flying him up from Florida and drugging him. Doe then claims the musician threatened him and told him not to tell anyone about the incident.
'You better not say a word to anybody about this. Did you hear me? … I'm not f–king playing with you. If I can get Pac hit, what the f–k do you think can happen to you?' Combs said, according to the suit.
Shakur, a West Coast rival of Combs, died after being shot multiple times on the Las Vegas strip in September 1996. A suspect, Duane 'Keefe D' Keith Davis was arrested in September 2023 and charged with planning the deadly drive-by shooting.
The Wednesday lawsuit alleges that the plaintiff traveled from Florida to New York at Combs' request, which qualifies the assault as a case of sex trafficking. Doe alleges that Combs gave him a drink and rubbed him with baby oil, causing him to become disoriented, as if drugged. The series of events echoes several other alleged sexual assaults at the hands of Diddy that have come to light over the last year. Doe claims Combs then forced him to perform oral and penetrative sexual acts on an unidentified woman who was with them in the hotel room and that after dismissing the woman, forced himself onto Doe, pinned him to the wall and anally penetrated him.
'I really want you to stay, let's turn up, let's turn up,' Diddy allegedly said. We're going to have some fun.'
The plaintiff requested a jury trial and an unspecified number of damages to cover lawyers' fees and 'emotional anguish, pain and suffering and loss of dignity.'
After facing multiple charges of sexual assault, racketeering, sex trafficking and prostitution, Combs is being held at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn while awaiting trial. An initial trial date has been set for May 5.
Anthony Ricco, one of several attorneys representing Combs, filed a request last week to withdraw as a member of the disgraced music mogul's legal team, saying that 'under no circumstances' could he continue to represent the rapper.
'Although I have provided Sean Combs with the high level of legal representation expected by the court, under no circumstances can I continue to effectively serve as counsel for Sean Combs, consistent with the ABA Standards for Criminal Justice,' Ricco said at the time.

Sean 'Diddy' Combs trial updates: Judge, attorneys discuss undisclosed problem with a juror
Beginning a fifth week of testimony, Sean Combs' ex-girlfriend, appearing under the pseudonym 'Jane,' told the jury she once took a four-day trip to Miami with Combs, during which he allegedly promised to take her on a yacht following a 'hotel night.' "Jane" previously testified that "hotel night" was the phrase that she and Combs used to refer to their sexual encounters involving other men. Prosecutor Maurene Comey asked, 'Did you agree to do the hotel night?' 'Yes,' "Jane" testified in response, telling the court it lasted two days. 'Did Sean take you on the yacht?' Comey asked. 'No,' "Jane" testified. Back home in Los Angeles, 'I noticed that on social media he had taken one of his girlfriends on the same yacht trip he had promised me,' "Jane" testified. She told the court that Combs told her the yacht trip with the other woman was nothing. However, "Jane" testified, a month later she saw an interview Combs gave to a podcast in which he bragged about having sex on the yacht and 'boasting they had sex for 48 hours.' The jury saw a text message she then sent to Combs: 'I don't want to be used and locked in a room to perform and fulfill your fantasies. Coming to the realization of what this is,' the message said. Combs texted in response 'that was podcast talk' and then, in a subsequent message, said 'I'm tired of your false accusations.' By that point, "Jane" testified, Combs had been paying her $10,000 monthly rent for six months and she felt obligated to fulfill Combs' sexual desires. "Jane" told the court that Combs then invited her to New York. 'I remember he said that we would have alone time and we would do nice things in New York together,' "Jane" testified. 'We would go to dinner, go shopping and have a proper New York trip. He mentioned no hotel nights.' On the flight to New York, 'I remember on this flight that I received a message from Sean that made me a little upset,' "Jane" testified. 'I just remember just taking a deep breath and kind of feeling upset and a little disappointed, a little defeated.' The jury saw the text in question from Combs, which read: 'I have a surprise if that's ok. Just one.' "Jane" began to cry as she told the jury that she understood from the text that 'he was going to introduce me to somebody new.' On that New York trip, in September 2023, "Jane" testified that Combs infected her with the COVID-19 virus.
