Over 100 individuals are planning to sue rap musician Sean 'Diddy' Combs for sexual assault, rape, and sexual exploitation, according to Texas attorney Tony Buzbee. Some of the alleged victims are as young as nine years old. Buzbee emphasized the seriousness of the situation, stating, “This is an important matter that we intend to aggressively pursue.”

In response, Combs' attorney, Erica Wolff, asserted that the rapper "emphatically and categorically" denies the allegations, branding them as "false and defamatory." Buzbee also mentioned that he and his team will thoroughly investigate any parties potentially liable for the alleged abuse.

Recently, Combs was arrested and faces criminal charges related to racketeering and sex trafficking. He is currently in federal custody after being denied bail, which he is appealing, and maintains his innocence regarding all criminal charges.

Buzbee, who is licensed in Texas and New York, reported that he represents 120 alleged victims, evenly split between men and women from over 25 states. Of these, 25 are minors, marking the first accusations against Combs for child sexual abuse. The incidents span from 1991 to the present, with the majority occurring in Los Angeles, New York, and Miami, primarily after 2015.

Many plaintiffs allege they were victims of date rape following parties hosted by Combs at various notable locations and private venues. Buzbee noted that these gatherings often celebrated album releases or holidays like New Year’s Eve and the Fourth of July. Young aspiring artists reportedly faced coercion into sexual acts under the guise of potential stardom or music opportunities.

One case highlighted by Buzbee involves a man who claims he was abused at a New York recording studio when he was nine years old. He stated, “Had he not been in power, I feel I could’ve been something great. I quit the industry because of what Sean Combs did to me.” Another alleged victim, also a minor at the time, was supposedly told he would be made a "star" if he met Combs alone; during that encounter, he claims Combs solicited oral sex.

Additionally, Buzbee mentioned a case involving a 15-year-old girl who was allegedly raped by Combs and others after being flown to a party in New York. He described a disturbing pattern where alleged victims were offered “laced” drinks before assaults occurred.

“This revelation unveils the biggest secret in the entertainment industry,” Buzbee said, declaring the end of the longstanding silence surrounding such abuses. He clarified that the legal action would not be a class action lawsuit, with individual cases to be filed for each alleged victim.

Andrew Van Arsdale, an attorney collaborating with Buzbee, indicated that their firm has received over 3,000 calls from individuals claiming to have experienced abuse at the hands of Combs. In addition to the 120 current cases, they are reviewing another 100 potential claims.
