The TikTok video soon became viral, earning thousands of likes and comments. It was later also shared on YouTube by the account @EventPromotion-n6k with the caption, “Celebrities involved in Diddy’s case: the shocking list.” However, the authenticity of the list remains unconfirmed and unsubstantiated.

As soon as the list became viral, netizens took to social media to comment on the names revealed in the video. While many stated that artists had previously tried to warn the public about Combs’ behavior, one TikToker, @Carol Stewart said that people “weren’t ready to hear” Kanye and Eminem’s warnings about Combs.

“Kanye and Eminem were warning everyone about Diddy but y’all weren’t ready to hear them, were u?”

Exploring Diddy’s ongoing legal troubles and his association with the names in the viral list

Sean “Diddy” Combs, who also goes by the name Puff Daddy, was taken into federal custody on September 16, 2024. He was taken into custody from the Park Hyatt Hotel in New York City after a grand jury indictment. He is facing three felony charges, including racketeering conspiracy, s*x trafficking by force, fraud, or coercion, and transportation to engage in pr*stitution.

Diddy was arraigned at the Manhattan Federal Court on September 17, 2024, where he pleaded not guilty. However, he was denied bail twice after the prosecutors argued he was a “serious flight risk.” He is now being held at Brooklyn’s Metropolitan Detention Center without bond, under a procedural suicide watch, until his trial. If convicted, the rapper is looking at 15 years to life in federal prison.

Justin Bieber and Usher spent a significant amount of time under Combs’ mentorship when they were younger. However, neither of their names has come up in the legal case against the rapper, nor have they addressed his ongoing legal problems. Similarly, the Bad Boy Records founder’s former associates, including Jennifer Lopez, Jay-Z, Beyoncé, Naomi Campbell, and Rihanna, have also not spoken up.

Sean Combs has often been linked to the deaths of multiple celebrities, including Aaliyah, Michael Jackson, and Tupac Shakur. However, none of the allegations related to these deaths have been proven.

Meanwhile, Combs’ former girlfriend and R&B singer, Cassandra “Cassie” Ventura, filed a $30 million lawsuit against him in November 2023. She accused him of r*pe and years-long physical, emotional, and psychological abuse. She also alleged that he tried to take “complete control” over her personal and professional life.

However, the civil suit was “amicably” settled for an undisclosed amount a day after it was filed. At the time, Combs’ legal counsel clarified that the settlement was “in no way an admission of wrongdoing” and insisted on his innocence.

However, in May 2024, CNN shared hotel surveillance footage from 2016 that showed Combs physically assaulting Cassie. While she said that the domestic abuse “broke” her, her ex apologized to her in a now-deleted Instagram video.

Meanwhile, music producer and former Diddy collaborator Rodney “Lil Rod” Jones, accused actor Cuba Gooding Jr. of s*xual assault and harassment. Jones made the allegations during his February 2024 s*xual misconduct and trafficking lawsuit against the No Way Out rapper.

However, Cuba later dismissed the allegations during his May appearance on the PBD Podcast. He admitted to meeting Lil Rod during one of Combs’ yacht parties, and claimed that Jones was perhaps “after the money.”

Over the years, singer-songwriter Jaguar Wright, a longtime Diddy critic, has claimed to have attended his infamous parties. He went on record to say that Combs’ alleged misconduct has been an open secret in Hollywood.

Similarly, 50 Cent, another vocal critic of Sean Combs, has also been involved in creating a Netflix docuseries against the Can’t Nobody Hold Me Down rapper. Produced by 50’s G-Unit Film & Television, its working title is Diddy Do It, and the proceeds from it are meant to go to s*xual assault victims.

Kanye West called Combs a “fed” and said he made deals with law enforcement to stay away from jail in return for blackmailing or snitching on others in the industry. Ye’s viral comments were made during his October 2022 appearance on the Drink Champs podcast. Earlier this year, he dropped a song titled Carnival with Ty Dolla Sign (from the album Vultures 1) where he put Combs in the same category as convicted felons R. Kelly and Bill Cosby.
