Published by skeptic

A judge has denied Jay-Z’s efforts to dismiss a lawsuit accusing the rapper and Sean “Diddy” Combs of raping a 13-year-old girl more than two decades ago. In the lawsuit, originally filed in October, a woman identified only as “Jane Doe” sued Combs for allegedly raping her at a party following the 2000 MTV Video Music Awards. The complaint was amended on Dec. 8 to include the allegation that Jay-Z, whose real name is Shawn Carter, was also present and participated in the assault. Jay-Z has denied all allegations, and his attorney Alex Spiro sought to dismiss the case after the Alabama woman acknowledged inconsistencies in her allegations in an NBC News report published earlier this month. Spiro doubled down last week, speaking outside Roc Nation’s New York headquarters, saying the rap mogul is upset about the suit and that “Mr. Carter has nothing to do with Mr. Combs’ case.” On Thursday, in her written order, Judge Analisa Torres denied Combs’ hopes to have the suit tossed out. Torres also ruled the woman accusing the two artists that …

A clip of R&B crooner Usher talking about living with music mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs when he was 13 years old has resurfaced on social media, after Homeland Security raided the rapper’s homes in Los Angeles and Miami. Diddy, 54, is widely credited with the discovery and cultivation of artists such as Usher, who rose to fame in the mid-Nineties before achieving wider success in the Noughties with hit singles such as “Yeah!” and “Confessions part II”. Diddy and Usher met after the R&B singer signed a record deal with LA Reid, who reportedly sent him to live with Diddy, real name Sean Combs, in New York for a year. Usher, who headlined the 2024 Super Bowl halftime show in February and also recently released his latest album, Coming Home, has claimed in previous interviews that Reid sent him to Diddy’s home in Scarsdale, New York, dubbing the experience “Flavour Camp”. In a 2004 interview with Rolling Stone, Usher recalled how Diddy introduced him to “a totally different set of shit — sex, specifically”. “Sex …

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. …

Homes belonging to Sean “Diddy” Combs in Los Angeles, New York and Miami were raided by federal agents on Monday, a month after the music mogul was sued for sex trafficking, among other allegations.

Sean “Diddy” Combs has been hit with a new sexual assault lawsuit, this time by a producer who accuses the music mogul of harassing and trafficking him. Rodney “Lil Rod” Jones, in a lawsuit filed on Monday in New York federal court, alleges he was forced to engage in sex acts by Combs and solicit sex workers for him for over a year while he was working for the Bad Boy Records founder on his latest album. In a statement, Shawn Holley, a lawyer for Combs, called the lawsuit “pure fiction.” “His reckless name-dropping about events that are pure fiction and simply did not happen is nothing more than a transparent attempt to garner headlines,” Holley added. “We have overwhelming, indisputable proof that his claims are complete lies.” The complaint marks at least the fifth suit filed against Combs since his former longtime partner Cassie, whose real name is Casandra Ventura and was once under his label, sued him in November for sexual assault. Cassie, who reached a settlement with Combs, accused him of repeatedly raping …
