The fall out continues from the epic amount of abuse sex trafficking, assault, and rape accusations Diddy is facing.
Two months after Cassie’s watershed moment lawsuit against Diddy, where she deeply detailed allegations of horrific abuse, sexual assault, sex trafficking, drugging, and rape, Rolling Stone magazine says they have been doing their own investigation into the embattled mogul. And the investigation has been going on for 6 months.
Just weeks after the disgusting and horrific surveillance video surfaced showing Diddy brutally beating Cassie in a hotel hallway, Rolling Stone released their 6-month long investigation. They have spoken to close to 50 acquaintances and former employees of Diddy, and the picture painted – spanning over decades – is overwhelmingly just…bad.
Many of the accusations we’ve all heard in some way, shape or form over the years. But to hear them from the horse’s mouth (the people the abusive actions were done to), hits a bit different.
One of the stories we haven’t heard previously is that Diddy, while a student at Howard University, allegedly brutally beat his girlfriend, who was also a student, in public in front of the dorms. Multiple witnesses, and the woman herself, have confirmed the incident where he apparently beat her with a belt after screaming from outside for her to come downstairs.
Other students reportedly watched in horror and screamed. It was also said that he harassed and stalked another female student as well.
There was also confirmation from witnesses of a story about Queen Latifah‘s long time producing partner, Shakir Stewart. Diddy reportedly threw a chair at Shakir Stewart’s head in a hotel room and left him bloody needing stitches. The attack occurred during LA Reid‘s wedding in Italy, and the reason Diddy flew off the handle was, supposedly, because he had just found out that Shakir and Kim Porter, the mother of 4 of Diddy’s kids, had started dating.
Insiders additionally confirmed to Rolling Stone that the Notorious B.I.G. was preparing to leave Bad Boy Records before his death, and Biggie’s lawyers were entangled in a legal battle with Diddy to get the late rapper his publishing rights, before he was murdered.
According to insiders, Biggie had grown increasingly frustrated with Combs and was seeking more control over his career. Photographer Monique Bunn, who was close with Biggie, stated, “[Biggie] was absolutely about to leave Puff. I know for a fact [because] he told me that.”
Another source added, “Everybody wanted to leave Puffy. Everybody leaves him.” This dissatisfaction was compounded by legal battles over Biggie’s publishing rights, which his attorneys were attempting to reclaim from Combs, further straining their relationship.

And the way Diddy reportedly handled the Rolling Stone cover after Biggie died, according to then- Bad Boy President Kirk Burrows, is wild. Diddy apparently demanded that HE, himself, be the cover to promote his No Way Out album, instead of a memorial cover for Biggie.
“I was telling Sean, ‘Let’s make it Biggie. You still have a chance [for a cover in the future],’” Burrowes recalls. “He’s like ‘No, he’s dead. I’m putting out [Combs’ debut album, No Way Out] in July. I need to be on the cover of Rolling Stone.’”

Needless to say, this info has now drudged up conspiracy theories again that Diddy allegedly had something to do with Biggie’s death. That suspicion has never been confirmed, though.
Still, Biggie’s mother, Voletta Wallace, definitely had something to say today.
Voletta spoke to Rolling Stone about the video of Diddy beating Cassie and about the magazine’s new investigation into the mogul. And she says Diddy needs to be slapped!
She says that the clip — compounded with the barrage of sexual abuse accusations against her son’s former label boss — have made her “sick to [her] stomach.” “I’m praying for Cassie,” she said. “I’m praying for his mother.”
“I don’t want to believe the things that I’ve heard, but I’ve seen [the video],” Wallace continued. “I pray that he apologizes to her. I hope that I see Sean one day and the only thing I want to do is slap the daylights out of him.”
“And you can quote me on that,” she added. “Because I liked him. I didn’t want to believe all the awful things, but I’m so ashamed and embarrassed.”
And she didn’t stop there.
“He needs to apologize to his mother,” she told the publication. “I hope to God he sits her down and spills his guts and apologize to her.”
Hmph!
Despite so any people recalling and confirming personal horror stories of being used and abused by Diddy, his Dirty Money groupmate, Kalenna Harper, seemingly defended him. Or at least, shifted blame to what she calls “disgruntled former employees”.
Kalenna was also known for having quite the unconventional relationship with her own husband, Tony Vick, while on “Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta”. Their relationship admittedly included sex with other people, so it’s possible her POV on what’s acceptable in a relationship is different than others. Folks also often questioned her decision of marrying a man with eleven kids, seven baby mothers and at least three grandchildren, so, go figure.
Diddy’s legal team released a statement in response:
Mr. Combs cannot comment on settled litigation, will not comment on pending litigation, and cannot address every allegation picked up by the press from any source, no matter how unreliable.”
We are aware that the proper authorities are conducting a thorough investigation and therefore have confidence any important issues will be addressed in the proper forum, where the rules distinguish facts from fiction.”
