A new lawsuit filed against Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs has named high-profile celebrities such as Nicki Minaj, Lil Kim, and Mary J. Blige.
The lawsuit — which was filed by Texas-based attorney Tony Buzbee, who is representing a litany of Diddy accusers — alleges Mary J. Blige, Lil’ Kim, and Nicki Minaj were present at 2014 Las Vegas party at Club Rehab, where she was later allegedly sexually assaulted by the disgraced rapper and producer.
According to The Daily Beast, the lawsuit contains “no suggestion that any of the named celebrities were present at the after-party where the woman alleges she was plied with date r— drug GHB.” Earlier this month, it was reported that Diddy was allegedly putting GHB in baby oil to incapacitate his alleged victims.
“The accusation will focus attention again on how Diddy allegedly used his celebrity connections and powerful friends to groom victims. In the new suit filed by lawyer Tony Buzbee on Monday, the unnamed woman alleges that on Memorial Day weekend 2014… the woman ‘met many celebrities, including Mary J. Blige, Lil’ Kim, and Nicki Minaj’ and ‘was also introduced to Combs, who greeted her and said he hoped she had a lot of fun at the party.’” [via The Daily Beast]
Diddy was arrested by Homeland Security Officers on federal charges of sex trafficking, racketeering, and transportation to engage in prostitution at a New York City hotel on Monday, December 16. Following his arrest, Diddy pled not guilty, was denied bail, and taken to the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, where he’s being held until his trial
If convicted on the federal charges filed against him, Diddy faces a minimum of 15 years and a maximum of life in jail. According to authorities, prior to his arrest, Diddy conducted decades of “verbal, emotional, physical, and sexual abuse” against his victims.
At this time, Diddy’s federal trial is set to go to court on May 5, 2025, as scheduled by a New York City judge in early October.
