Hip Hop Mogul, Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs denies gang r@pe of 17-year-old girl in Manhattan studio, claims photo showing her sitting on his lap ‘isn’t accurate’
Hip Hop Mogul, Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs has denied gang-raping a 17-year-old girl in his Manhattan recording studio while claiming a photograph of her sitting in his lap ‘isn’t accurate’.
The 54-year-old rapper filed an official legal challenge refuting the abuse accusations made by the alleged victim, who is now in her 30s.
She claimed in December that Combs, his longtime friend and rapper Harve Pierre, and a third unidentified man flew her to his New York studio before plying her with ‘copious amounts of drugs and alcohol’ in 2003.
He and two pals then took turns violently raping the teen as she drifted in and out of consciousness, leaving her in so much pain that she could barely stand or remember how she got home, the complaint alleges.
The alleged victim is the fourth woman to make allegations against Combs. He has never been convicted, and recently settled a bombshell rape lawsuit brought by R&B singer Cassie, just one day after it was filed.
His 11-page denial of the fourth woman’s allegations claim he ‘never participated in, witnessed, or was or is presently aware of any misconduct, s£xual or otherwise, relating to plaintiff in any circumstance whatsoever,’ according to Rolling Stone.
The response, filed in the Southern District of New York, challenged the authenticity of color photographs purportedly showing the teen sitting on his lap in Daddy’s House Recording Studio.
‘The context, genuineness, and/or accuracy of the photographs are disputed,’ his answer states.
‘Plaintiff’s decision to wait more than two decades to file her complaint has prejudiced defendant, as he has lost the ability to defend himself fully and fairly in this action.
‘For example, some or all evidence that otherwise would have been available if the action had been promptly commenced may be unavailable, lost, or compromised.’
Combs’ answer also attempts to shoot down the lawsuit from another angle – arguing that it should be barred because the Victims of Gender-Motivated Violence Act (GMVA) under which is was brought is ‘unconstitutional.’
‘Allowing this action to proceed violates defendant’s rights under the U.S. Constitution and the New York State Constitution,’ it reads.
Combs has recently fortified his legal team with new lawyers, according to Rolling Stone.
They include Bobbi C Sternheim, who defended Ghislaine Maxwell, and Shawn Holley who successfully got Dodgers pitcher Trevor Bauer reinstated with Major League Baseball amid sexual assault allegations.
Combs’ co-defendant in the fourth case, Pierre also filed a denial on Tuesday saying he ‘never participated in the sexual assault of the plaintiff nor did he ever witness anyone else sexually assaulting the plaintiff’, per Rolling Stone.
The anonymous accuser, now in her late 30s, has backed her bombshell claims with now-contested photographs of herself sitting on the I’ll Be Missing You singer’s lap and goofing around in his Manhattan studio.
Diddy immediately sent out a tweet denying the accusation in December and saying the all allegations made against him are from people ‘looking for a quick payday’.
In harrowing detail, the Jane Doe claimant describes how Combs demanded that she pinch his nipples throughout the attack to help him ‘get off’ – then pulled up a chair to watch her being raped and choked by his associates.
She says she suffered in silence for 20 years until the R&B singer Cassie sued Combs, her former mentor, and ex-boyfriend, for allegedly subjecting her to savage beatings, dr0gs -addled hotel org!es and r@pe

“Akpi Is Back”: Speed Darlington Finally Regains Freedom After 2-Months in Jail, Fans React Nosa Oke-Hortons
The Nigerian social media space has been buzzing after reports about controversial singer, Darlington Achakpo better known as Speed Darlington regaining his freedom went viral.
A post shared online by Speed Darlington’s lawyer, Stan Alieke has sparked a frenzy on social media. In the post shared by Akpi’s lawyer, the controversial personality was seen sitting in the office of his client along with two other men.
Recall that Akpi’s arrest was instigated by Grammy Award winner, Burna Boy, on the grounds of defamation and libel. In Burna Boy’s petition against Akpi, he accused the rapper of alleging he was gay and sharing a sexual relationship with American music mogul, Diddy.
The Grammy winner noted that the rapper used innuendos and play-on-words to target him and defame his character. After spending nearly two months in jail, Speed Darlington is finally free and below is an excerpt of the statement shared by his lawyer on his handle:
“Delighted to announce that our client, Mr Darlington Achakpo Aka Speed Darlington (Akpi) has regained his freedom after two months of illegal incarceration.
For the record, as his team of lawyers, we will be exploring every angle of the law to ensure that he gets justice for his fundamental human right which was deprived of him by the Nigerian Police Force and for the unfair/ unjust treatment he was subjected to.
Mr Achakpo extends his gratitude to everyone who threw in their support and Special thanks to my colleagues, Mr Marshal Abubakar Esq, Barr Deji Adeyanju, Barr Hamza Nuh, and Barr David. ~ Freedom cometh by struggle.”
Popular social media commentator and lawyer, Deji Adeyanju who also worked on Speed Darlington’s case also confirmed the rapper’s release on his Twitter handle, with a tweet that reads:
“Speed Darlington is out from Kuje prison.”
