**Sean "P. Diddy" Combs**, the iconic music mogul, has had a career marked by both success and controversy. While he rose to fame in the 1990s after launching **Bad Boy Records** and collaborating with artists like **Biggie Smalls** and **Faith Evans**, it wasn't long before he found himself entangled in legal battles. Let's delve into the wild history of P. Diddy's legal troubles:


## Cassie's Shocking Lawsuit (November 2023)

- **Cassie**, Combs' former romantic partner, filed a civil suit against him, alleging sexual and physical abuse during their relationship.

- According to Cassie, Combs raped her, beat her in fits of "uncontrollable rage," and exerted a tight hold over her life.

- Shockingly, Combs would allegedly force Cassie to engage in sex acts with other men, whom he'd pay to travel with them, while he watched.

- The abuse spanned from 2007 until Cassie left him in late 2018, as per the lawsuit.

- Combs vehemently denied these allegations, and they settled the suit a day after it was filed⁷.


## The Ongoing Federal Investigation (March 2024)

- Combs has been hit with **five lawsuits** in New York, accusing him of sexual assault, sexual trafficking, and other criminal activity.

- Federal agents executed searches of Combs' properties, where guns were found, and his phones were seized at an airport.

- At least four people have been interviewed regarding allegations of sex trafficking, sexual assault, and the solicitation and distribution of illegal narcotics and firearms.

- Combs' attorney described the raids as a "gross overuse of military-level force."

- Despite the investigations, neither Combs nor any of his family members have been arrested⁷.
