A new lawsuit filed before a court in the city of New York, USA, has alleged that embattled music mogul Puff Daddy s3xually assaulted an aspiring male musician in 2015.
The suit filed on February 4 by attorney Tony Buzzbee on behalf of the victim identified as John Doe adds to the plethora of lawsuits slammed on Puff Daddy.
John Doe, who was 23 at the time, heard that Diddy was scheduled to perform at a club he was playing at in 2015 and hoped to impress him and get signed. The lawsuit claims that Doe had dreams of becoming a rapper and breaking into the music business.
The lawsuit stated that John Doe was offered a drink, claiming it was from Puff Daddy himself, while he (Diddy) and other celebrities were under the influence of drugs at the party. Later, John Doe said, he found out he had been drugged.
He said that he kept drifting in and out of consciousness as he watched Diddy and his entourage partake in group activities with other partygoers who “looked either drugged, unconscious, or like they were paid escorts.” Doe then claimed to have seen the rapper groping him and to have thought Diddy had engaged in oral s3x with him.

The allegations come five days after Puff Daddy was hit with additional allegations of s3xual abuse and racketeering charges.
In a revised indictment submitted to the Southern District of New York on Thursday, Puff Daddy was charged with an alleged s£x trafficking enterprise, which included the victimization of three women.
“Combs and other members and associates of the Combs Enterprise wielded the power and prestige of Combs’ role at the Combs business to intimidate, threaten, and lure female victims into Combs’ orbit, often under the pretense of a romantic relationship,” the indictment reads, according to court documents.
Federal prosecutors said in the initial indictment against Combs, which was filed on September 12, 2024, that he transformed his “multi-faceted business empire” into a “criminal enterprise,” where he and his associates committed a number of crimes, including s3x trafficking, forced labor, kidnapping, and physical violence.
Combs was charged in the indictment with using “force, threats of force, and coercion” to force his alleged victims—three unnamed women—to “engage in commercial sex acts.” For their involvement, Combs allegedly paid these people “monetary payments, career opportunities, and payment of rent and housing expenses.”
