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.

Triad elementary school students design their own monster plushies
GRAHAM, N.C. (WGHP) — Some Graham High School students are on a mission. They are set to deliver some pretty precious cargo to their next-door neighbors. The kindergarteners at North Graham Elementary School. The art classes at the two schools collaborated on a special project and their delivery was the end result. Kathryn Combs, the Art Teacher at North Graham Elementary, says it all started with a book the class read. 'We read a book called Love Monster,' she says. 'It talks about finding people that connect with you and love you for who you are. And so we decided to replicate the monsters from the book.' And so, they did! The students enjoyed drawing their own monsters, which helped to create the ultimate art project. According to Combs, 'We started out by using elements of art. Lines, shapes and colors and the kids drew different lines, shapes, colors, all the monsters, and we used colored pencils to color them in.' Then those drawings were given to the high school art students who were tasked with bringing them to life. Makayia Foust, a Graham High School senior, said it wasn't easy. 'The drawings were really like complex,' she said But it was a challenge they were willing to accept because it was also a learning opportunity. 'There's a lot of creative problem solving in it,' says Doctor O'Donnell, the Art Teacherat Graham High School. 'They have to sort of translate something that might be like a scribble into something that might turn into a pattern or a shape. Some of them, they just immediately sort of knew what they were going to do. Other ones they really had to think hard and do sketching and kind of figure out. You know, how am I going to actually turn this idea into something 3D? So yeah, just a lot of creative problem solving along the way.' But they worked together, and it ended up better than they could have Said Foust, 'It just really made me feel really good because children don't really get to see what they create really come to life. So, me being able to do that really just made me feel great. ' And you can tell the younger students loved the results. They were laughing and cheering when they were delivered. 'It was just a great way for our High school students, a lot of them who I taught years ago to connect with the current students that I teach and just it's a great role model,' said Combs. 'And to show that what you're doing in elementary art can continue in middle school and in high school.' O'Donnell agreed. 'I think for my students this means a lot because it's a chance for them to connect with younger students in their community who look up to them and to just spread joy to use visual art to spread joy to people.' Joy was abundant in the room when the plushies were delivered. Said O'Donnell, 'Just getting to see them hug in and smiling and being happy and making somebody else happy with their artwork is just priceless.' Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.

Diddy's ex-girlfriend says he ignored her pleas to end sex marathons: 'Finish strong'
The Brief Sean "Diddy" Combs is standing trial on sweeping federal charges. On Monday, "Jane" will return to the witness stand, with prosecutor Maurene Comey resuming her questioning. "Jane" recounted last week how Combs pushed her to continue having sex with men while he watched, even after she gave "subtle cues." NEW YORK CITY - Sean "Diddy" Combs, one of the most influential figures in music and business over the last three decades, is standing trial on sweeping federal charges. Prosecutors allege Combs physically and sexually abused individuals for over a decade as the acting leader of a sordid empire. MORE: What's happened during the Diddy trial? Day-by-day recap MORE: Trump answers whether he would pardon Diddy Prosecutors also allege Combs used force and coercion to get victims to engage in what he called "Freak Offs," which were often recorded and could last days. What we know A woman who was dating Diddy at the time of his arrest last year broke down on Friday, describing their many drug-fueled sex marathons, saying the music mogul ignored her signals to stop and scolded her for crying after another encounter. Testifying under the pseudonym "Jane", the woman recounted how Combs pushed her to continue having sex with men while he watched, even after she gave "subtle cues" – saying she was tired and hungry, making faces and gestures – that she wanted to stop. Instead, she said, he told her to "finish strong." Asked why she didn't tell him outright, Jane sobbed, "I just, I don't know." Later, she said Combs would shut her down when she tried to talk about ending the encounters, which she called "dark" and "sleazy." What's next The trial will begin its fifth week. "Jane" will return to the witness stand when prosecutor Maurene Comey resumes her questioning. Combs' lawyers have not yet had a chance to question her. Prosecutors had indicated that they were ahead of their plans to finish presenting evidence within six weeks, but the optimistic forecasts have disappeared in recent days. The backstory Federal prosecutors have charged Combs with a series of crimes including: Count 1: Racketeering Conspiracy. Count One charges that, from at least in or about 2004 through in or about 2024, the defendant participated in a racketeering conspiracy during which he agreed with other employees and associates of his businesses to commit kidnapping, arson, bribery of a witness, obstruction of justice, drug distribution, forced labor, sex trafficking, and transportation for purposes of engaging in prostitution. Count 2: Sex Trafficking by Force, Fraud, or Coercion. Count Two charges the defendant with sex trafficking an adult female victim through force, fraud, and coercion between ~2009 and ~2018. Count 3: Transportation to Engage in Prostitution. Count Three charges the defendant with transporting that female victim and male commercial sex workers to engage in prostitution between ~2009 and ~2018. Count 4: Sex trafficking. Count Four charges the defendant with sex trafficking a second adult female victim through force, fraud, and coercion between ~2021 and ~2024. Count 5: Transportation to Engage in Prostitution. Count Five charges the defendant with transporting that second female victim and male commercial sex workers to engage in prostitution between ~2021 and ~2024. He also faces more than 60 lawsuits from alleged victims. Cassie says in a lawsuit that Combs subjected her to years of abuse, including beatings and rape. Cassie, whose legal name is Cassandra Ventura, signed to Combs' label in 2005, and the two were on-again-off-again romantic partners for more than a decade starting in 2007. The lawsuit filed in federal court says Combs was "prone to uncontrollable rage" and subjected her to "savage" beatings. It says he plied her with drugs, forced her to have sex with other men, and raped her in her home as she was trying to end the relationship in 2018. Combs, through his attorney, "vehemently denies" the accusations. If convicted, the 55-year-old Diddy could face 15 years to life in prison. In documents obtained by FOX News Digital, Diddy's defense team admitted the disgraced rapper committed "domestic violence" against a partner. Diddy's strategy seems to be to "admit to what is a lesser, state crime to avoid federal prison." Diddy was arrested in Oct. 2024 at the Park Hyatt New York in Midtown Manhattan. He's been in jail ever since.

Diddy's Texts With Ex-Girlfriend Read in Court: She Told Him ‘I'm Not a Porn Star, I'm Not an Animal' and I'm Done ‘Performing Loveless, Cold Sex' With Other Men
Sean 'Diddy' Combs' ex-girlfriend from 2021 to 2024 continued her testimony at his sex trafficking trial as their text messages were read aloud in court. Testifying under a pseudonym, 'Jane' alleges that Combs coerced her into having days-long, drug-fueled sex parties with male escorts. She said she told Combs repeatedly throughout their relationship that she did not want to have sex with other men, but that he brushed off those concerns. In a text from September 2023, Jane wrote to Combs that she felt 'obligated' to 'perform' for him, for 'fear of losing the roof over my head,' as Combs paid (and continues to pay) her rent in Los Angeles. More from Variety Diddy's Ex-Girlfriend Cries in Court Alleging 3-Day Sex Sessions With Male Escorts That Made Her 'Feel Disgusting' Judge Scolds Diddy for 'Nodding Vigorously' to the Jury, Threatens to Remove Him From Courtroom Diddy Auditioned to Play James Brown in 'Get on Up,' Lost Part to Chadwick Boseman 'I don't want to be used and locked in a room to perform and fulfill your fantasies, I'm coming to the realization of what this really is,' Jane wrote Combs in September 2023. 'My heart is really in this and it's breaking. I don't want to play this role in your life anymore.' Jane previously testified that she fell in love with Combs in January 2021 after an amazing first date in Miami and then a trip to the Turks and Caicos Islands. In May 2021, he introduced her to his sexual fantasies, and having sex with other men became '90%' of Jane's time spent with Combs. On Instagram, Jane had often seen photos of Combs on vacations with his other girlfriends, and she expressed her disappointment and jealousy over text messages. In September 2023, Combs arranged a trip to New York, where he promised they would go out to dinner and go shopping. He also told her to bring her passport, implying there might be an international excursion. Instead, Combs had arranged 'entertainment' for the night, texting Jane, 'I have a surprise if that's OK.' Jane said she spent the majority of her time in New York with Combs holed up in a hotel room, having sex with male escorts. 'I'm not a porn star. I'm not an animal,' Jane texted Combs after the trip. She read her texts in a soft voice on the witness stand, dabbing her eyes with a tissue. 'It's been three years of me having to fuck strangers. I'm tired.' Combs replied, 'So we're breaking up.' Jane said on the witness stand that she did not want to break up with Combs — she only wanted to stop having 'hotel nights.' Jane messaged Combs that she needed a 'break, spiritually and mentally,' to which Combs responded, 'You're wrong.' Jane broke into gasping sobs on the witness stand as she read aloud texts from October 2023. 'Sex is sacred to me,' she wrote, adding that the 'hotel nights' were 'creating a war inside me.' Combs pleaded with Jane to spend the day with just him — 'no strangers' — to which Jane replied, 'Nothing satisfies you. You always push me to do more and more.' Earlier in the trial, Combs' ex-girlfriend from 2007 to 2018, Casandra 'Cassie' Ventura, alleged that Combs used violence and threats of blackmail to coerce her into 'freak-offs,' which closely resemble the 'hotel nights' described by Jane. Combs is pleading not guilty to charges of sex trafficking and racketeering.
