The fallout from Sean “Diddy” Combs continues after the leaked videos of Cassie's assault and sexual misconduct lawsuits against him. Diddy has maintained his complete innocence of the sexual abuse and sexual assault lawsuits against him and continues to deny all allegations.
According to Miami Herald, the Miami Beach Commission revoked Diddy Day recognition dedicated to the Bad Boy mogul on October 13. Received the honor courtesy of Mayor Philip Levine at a REVOLT conference in 2016.
The decision to withdraw recognition was made on Wednesday (26 June) “without discussion”. Diddy was a staple of the Miami Beach community of Star Island, where he owns a mansion, which was raided by federal agents along with his LA estate in March.
Earlier in June, Diddy returned his key to New York at the request of Mayor Eric Adams. Combs sent the key back to Adams' offices after the mayor received letters requesting it be sent back to City Hall, and Diddy obliged on June 10.
“I strongly condemn these actions and stand in solidarity with all survivors of domestic violence and gender-based violence,” Adams wrote in the letters at the time.
Howard University also revoked Combs' honorary degree and ended a scholarship program in his name after the disturbing video of Cassie was released. CNN released surveillance footage in May of Diddy physically abusing Cassie at a Los Angeles hotel outside an elevator bank from March 2016.
Diddy apologized for his behavior, which he said he was “disgusted” with, but ended up deleting the video when cleaning up his Instagram account last week.
“I was upset. I mean, I hit rock bottom. But I'm not making excuses,” he said in the since-deleted video. “My behavior in this video is inexcusable. I take full responsibility for my actions in this video. loathe. I was disgusted when I did it, I am disgusted now.”
Cassie and Diddy dated for over a decade from 2007 to 2018 before calling it quits.
The “Me & U” singer filed an extensive lawsuit against the famous music executive in November accusing him of rape and physical abuse during their relationship. The two parties quickly reached an agreement less than 24 hours later. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.
