Imprisoned rapper Sean "Diddy" Combs is anticipated to confront over 10 new civil lawsuits soon, as confirmed by a lawyer representing numerous accusers.
Tony Buzbee made this revelation while lodging another lawsuit in New York for an unidentified male who asserts being assaulted by the music industry tycoon in 2015.
The legal case claims that the complainant, a 23-year-old man, was drugged and assaulted at an afterparty following his performance at an event attended by Combs.
Combs' legal team stated to the BBC, Mr. Combs and his legal team are fully confident in the facts and the integrity of the judicial process." They affirmed that "Mr. Combs never sexually assaulted or trafficked anyone—man or woman, adult or minor.
Buzbee intends to file more than 10 lawsuits in the next week to meet the deadline on March 1 in New York, the final day for victims of past sexual assault to file civil cases despite an expired statute of limitations.
The latest lawsuit dates back to 2015 when the plaintiff performed at a nightclub in Los Angeles where Combs was present.
The lawsuit details that after a well-received performance, the plaintiff was invited to an afterparty featuring an abundance of Combs' vodka, Ciroc, along with substances like marijuana, cocaine, and ecstasy.
Allegedly, the plaintiff was drugged after being handed a drink by Combs' associate. He later witnessed what he believed was group sexual activity involving Combs and his entourage with individuals who seemed drugged or unconscious.
The plaintiff claimed to have woken up to being assaulted by Combs and faced career threats when attempting to leave, as per the lawsuit.
Combs, currently in a New York jail, is confronted with over 30 civil lawsuits alleging sexual misconduct, alongside awaiting a federal criminal trial on sex trafficking and racketeering charges.
