The legal cases against Sean “Diddy” Combs continue to grow.

Since the rapper is currently imprisoned after his September 16th arrest on accusations of sex trafficking, racketeering, and facilitating prostitution, a total of 120 individuals have emerged to make fresh claims of sexual misconduct against him.

At a press conference on October 1st, as reported by NBC News, Tony Buzbee, the attorney from Texas representing the 120 accusers, stated that they would uncover those responsible for facilitating such inappropriate behavior in private settings. He also mentioned that they will persist with this investigation regardless of who the evidence points to.

The attorney stated that their group had gathered photographs, videos, and messages, which would reveal numerous influential individuals harboring several hidden scandals.

The allegations against Combs Buzbee noted, include, “violent sexual assault or rape, facilitated sex with a controlled substance, dissemination of video recordings, sexual abuse of minors.”

He added, “The list is quite extensive as it stands, but given the peculiarities of this situation, we’re determined to be absolutely correct before taking any action. Rest assured, the names you’ll see will leave you astonished.

In simpler terms, the lawyer clarified that more than 3,000 people have made allegations against Combs. They plan to initiate legal actions in various states over the next 30 days. Additionally, they mentioned that additional defendants will be included in the lawsuits at a later time.

At a recent news conference, Buzbee stated that a quarter of the accusers were minors during the reported events. He also mentioned that one of the accusers was said to be only nine years old at the time.

However, Combs’ legal team denies all the allegations against him.

In response to TopMob News, Erica Wolff, Mr. Combs’ attorney, stated that due to the baseless accusations turning into an uncontrolled media frenzy, it is impossible for Mr. Combs to respond to every unwarranted claim. However, he firmly and unequivocally denies any allegation of sexual abuse against him, be it adults or minors, as he considers these claims to be false and defamatory.

She mentioned, “He eagerly anticipates demonstrating his innocence and clearing his name in the courtroom, a place where facts, not assumptions, determine the truth.

Upcoming lawsuits represent the latest additions to a series of legal troubles that Diddy (Combs) has been facing in recent times. Notably, a 54-year-old woman has accused him of drugging and sexually assaulting her, as reported by TopMob News through documents they obtained.

On September 27th, the submitted documents assert that the prominent music producer is accused of assaulting a woman throughout a four-year span. It’s alleged that one instance resulted in her pregnancy, which unfortunately ended in a miscarriage at a later time.

Currently, Combs is still being held in detention since he was refused bail on September 17. He has pleaded not guilty to all accusations against him and is now waiting for a status hearing scheduled for October 9.

Federal authorities from Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) carried out searches at Sean “Diddy” Combs’ properties in Los Angeles and Miami on March 25, according to several sources in law enforcement who spoke to NBC News. The warrant originated from the Southern District of New York, and an HSI spokesperson in New York confirmed to TopMob News that they were executing legal actions as part of an ongoing investigation, with assistance from HSI teams in Los Angeles, Miami, and local law enforcement partners. At the time of the searches, it was reported that Combs was in the Miami area.

As a dedicated follower, I would rephrase it as: “In November, I was confronted with shocking accusations of inappropriate behavior in several lawsuits filed by different individuals. However, I want to make it clear that these accusations are untrue and I will vigorously defend my reputation, my family, and the truth.” Furthermore, I issued a statement on Instagram in December, expressing my dismay at these allegations, stating they are false and that I am fighting for the truth.

A day after search warrants were executed at both Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs’ L.A. and Miami residences by HSI, his lawyer Aaron Dyer expressed concerns. In a statement to TopMob News on March 26, he criticized the use of excessive force during the searches, stating that the authorities’ behavior was unjustified and hostile towards Combs’ children and employees. Dyer also clarified that while Combs was not detained, he did speak with and cooperated with the authorities. The lawyer further stated that there are no restrictions on Combs or his family members’ ability to travel, despite media speculation of their arrests. He described the search as an ‘unprecedented ambush,’ paired with a coordinated media presence, leading to a hasty judgment against Combs, which he characterized as a witch hunt based on unfounded accusations in civil lawsuits.

Dyer stated that Combs intends to vigorously defend himself against the accusations, adding that there has been no determination of either criminal or civil responsibility concerning these allegations. He asserted that Combs is innocent and will persistently strive each day to establish his innocence.

During the searches, it’s been reported by multiple law enforcement sources who are knowledgeable about the warrant, that authorities from the Department of Homeland Security confiscated phones from Diddy’s (Combs) residence in Miami prior to his planned trip to the Bahamas. Furthermore, several sources close to the situation have confirmed that firearms were found during the search.

A source close to the situation informed NBC News that four individuals – three women and one man – were questioned by prosecutors and investigators from the Southern District of New York regarding accusations involving sex trafficking, sexual assault, drug distribution, and gun charges connected to Combs. This information suggests that these individuals were interviewed in relation to allegations concerning Combs and the crimes mentioned above.

On the same day that search warrants were carried out at Combs’ properties in Miami and Los Angeles, one of his associates, Brendan Paul, was apprehended by the Miami-Dade police on allegations of drug possession. This information was shared with NBC News by a law enforcement source who is knowledgeable about the case.

On September 16, 2024, I found myself in handcuffs, right there in the lobby of a New York hotel – quite surreal, really! NBC News reported it, but details about what exactly Diddy (Combs) has been accused of are scarce. There’s also speculation as to whether this arrest could be connected to any recent raids that have taken place. Keeping my fingers crossed and hoping for more information soon!

In a statement to TopMob News, attorney Marc Agnifilo expressed disappointment over the U.S. Attorney’s Office’s decision to prosecute Mr. Combs, whom they believe is being unfairly accused. Despite his flaws, they maintain that he is not a criminal. To demonstrate his cooperation, Mr. Combs willingly moved to New York last week in preparation for these charges.

The lawyer added, “Please reserve your judgment until you have all the facts. These are the acts of an innocent man with nothing to hide, and he looks forward to clearing his name in court.”

After Combs was arrested based on the sealed indictment, the indictment was unsealed on Sept. 17.

The 54-year-old was charged with racketeering conspiracy; sex trafficking by force, fraud or coercion; as well as transportation to engage in prostitution, according to court documents obtained by NBC News.

The indictment alleged Combs “abused, threatened, and coerced women and others around him to fulfill his sexual desires, protect his reputation, and conceal his conduct” for more than a decade, with prosecutors saying the purported behavior started around 2008.

“To do so,” the documents stated, “Combs relied on the employees, resources, and influence of the multi-faceted business empire that he led and controlled—creating a criminal enterprise whose members and associates engaged in, and attempted to engage in, among other crimes, sex trafficking, forced labor, kidnapping, arson, bribery, and obstruction of justice.”

As reported by NBC News, Combs pleaded not guilty in court and was denied bail. His lawyer, Marc Agnifilo, shared beforehand that he would vigorously defend him with every bit of energy and strength at his disposal, expressing complete faith in his legal team.

After my apprehension, I was detained at the Brooklyn Metropolitan Detention Center, and they refused to grant me a $50 million bail. As a renowned figure in the music industry, I was also subjected to suicide watch, a standard practice for prominent prisoners, as confirmed by a source to TopMob News.

According to a source who spoke with NBC News, he was given the same section of the jail as Sam Bankman-Fried, known for his involvement in cryptocurrency fraud.
