Event Overview:
Sean "Diddy" Combs, a Grammy-winning artist, is embroiled in multiple legal proceedings, including a federal sex trafficking investigation and several sexual misconduct lawsuits. Most recently, federal officials raided his homes on March 25, 2023. Allegations span from 2003 to 2018, including an unnamed woman's claim of rape and Cassie's accusations of physical and sexual abuse.
