Rap mogul Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs is facing more lawsuits, this time finding himself embroiled in new cases of sexual assault allegations specifically involving two minors. Recently, two men revealed that Combs kidnapped and sexually assaulted them when they were only ten and seventeen years old respectively. Combs is also accused of giving them drugs.
Both lawsuits, filed in New York Supreme Court, provide alarming examples of the abuses that allegedly occurred in the mid-2000s. One of the plaintiffs alleged that Combs promised to make him a star but he was taken to a hotel room where he blacked out after drinking a soda given to him by the rapper.
After that, the 10-year-old boy was allegedly drugged and raped, as reported by People. The report said that when he woke up, he found himself in extreme pain. Although she informed her parents, they were afraid to report the abuse.
The second plaintiff, who was sixteen to seventeen years old at the time, stated that she was sexually assaulted by Combs during an audition for Making the Band on MTV in 2008. The complaint states that Combs and his subordinates forced the teen to perform sexual acts.

During the first round of one-on-one auditions, Diddy forced her to perform oral sex on him and his bodyguard, while groping and molesting the teenage boy. Apparently, the teen singer was unable to return to the music industry for seven years after the abuse.
Diddy has already been charged with sex trafficking, racketeering and transportation-related sex crimes. He is behind bars awaiting trial.
Tony Buzbee, the attorney in the cases, said, “Both were looking to enter the music business and were promised that Combs could help them.” One alleged victim was ten years old, the other seventeen at the time of the alleged incident. ” He further said, “We will let the allegations in the complaints filed speak for themselves, and work to ensure that justice is done. We will continue to file cases weekly naming Mr. Combs and others as defendants as we continue to gather evidence and prepare for filing.”
Shawn Diddy Combs’ attorneys have strongly rejected the claims and confidently argued that they are false and that the claimant is seeking personal publicity.
