Sean “Diddy” Combs, the hip-hop mogul, is facing allegations of sexual misconduct from 120 individuals, according to attorney Tony Buzbee, who announced on Tuesday he is representing the accusers.

The claims involve 60 males and 60 females, with 25 minors among the alleged victims. Buzbee indicated that lawsuits are expected to be filed within the next month.

Following the press conference, Combs’ attorney, Erica Wolff, responded, stating, “Mr. Combs emphatically and categorically denies as false and defamatory any claim that he sexually abused anyone, including minors.” She added that Combs “looks forward to proving his innocence in court where the truth will be established based on evidence, not speculation”, according to a report by Associated Press. 

Combs, 54, has been in custody at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn after pleading not guilty on 17th September to charges of sex trafficking and racketeering.

The accusations involve claims that he used his influence to organise drug-fuelled sexual events, dubbed “Freak Offs,” involving male sex workers and female victims.

Buzbee, known for representing women in sexual assault cases, including NFL quarterback Deshaun Watson, is preparing to move forward with legal action against Combs.

Combs, a major figure in hip-hop, has denied all charges. His legal team insists he will fight to clear his name, stating he is “innocent”, as reported by AP.
