Some
phrases
often
heard
when
discussing
Sean
“Diddy”
Combs
lately
include
“How
did
he
get
away
with
it?”
or
“No
one
said
anything?”
In
a
new
exposé
from
Rolling
Stone,
some
of
those
questions
are
answered
as
the
magazine
took
an
in-depth
look
at
the
sordid
behavior
that
the
multihyphenate
mogul
has
seemingly
been
practicing
all
along
during
his
rise
as
a
Hip-Hop
icon.
It’s
not
hyperbole
that
Diddy
is
now
officially
disgraced
after
CNN
revealed
video
footage
of
the
Bad
Boy
Records
founder
brutally
beating
his
then
girlfriend,
singer
Cassie
Ventura,
in
a
hotel
lobby
back
in
2016.
By
now
you’ve
probably
heard
the
story—Cassie
filed
a
lawsuit
against
Diddy
accusing
him
of
rape
and
sex
trafficking,
amongst
other
offenses,
that
he
quickly
settled
the
next
day.
Cassie’s
bravery
in
coming
forward
with
her
truth
opened
the
door
for
more
women,
and
a
man,
to
come
forward
with
lawsuits
accusing
Combs
of
a
myriad
of
heinous
charges
that
include
sexual
assault,
trafficking
and
even
illegal
firearms.
Save
for
the
faux-apology
he
delivered
after
the
hotel
footage’s
release,
Diddy
has
been
adamant
that
all
the
other
acclaims
are
essentially
money
grabs
and
that
he
is
the
actual
victim.
Well,
Rolling
Stone
sorted
through
all
the
receipts
in
the
aforementioned
lawsuits
and
also
reached
out
to
former
Bad
Boy
employees,
artists,
friends
and
associates
to
paint
a
picture
of
who
they
describe
as
an
“abusive,
menacing
figure.”
The
six-month
investigation
led
to
the
painting
of
a
figure
who
has
basically
been
a
problem
since
his
school
days
at
Howard
University
when
he
was
the
party
promoter
and
student
who
also
finessed
his
way
into
an
internship
at
Uptown
Records,
and
eventually
on
to
Hip-Hop
stardom.
During
that
ascent,
there
have
allegedly
been
dozens
of
people
traumatized
by
his
behavior.
To
say
that
what
Rolling
Stone’s
investigative
report
is
damning
would
be
an
understatement.
Here
are
some
of
the
wildest
revelations
and
allegations
in
the
story.
1.
Her
Too
Gina
Huynh
is
an
ex-girlfriend
of
Diddy
who
accused
him
of
abuse
while
speaking
to
gossip
blogger
Tasha
K
(yes,
the
same
one
who
owes
Cardi
B
money)
back
in
2019.
However,
her
story
didn’t
get
much
traction.
Also
worth
noting,
a
personal
chef
who
sued
Diddy
claims
she
walked
in
on
him
and
Huynh
engaging
in
“sexual
activity.”
The
chef,
Cindy
Rueda,
sued
Diddy
for
sexual
harassment,
and
it
was
settled
out
of
court.
2.
No
Way
Former
Bad
Boy
President
Kirk
Burrow
told
Rolling
Stone
that
after
the
mag
approached
Bad
Boy
about
a
Notorious
B.I.G.
cover
after
the
rapper’s
death,
Diddy
instead
pushed
for
his
own
cover
to
help
promote
his
own
debut
album,
No
Way
Out.
Bruh.
“I
was
telling
Sean,
‘Let’s
make
it
Biggie.
You
still
have
a
chance
[for
a
cover
in
the
future],’”
Burrowes
recalls.
“He’s
like
‘No,
he’s
dead.
I’m
putting
out
[Combs’
debut
album,
No
Way
Out]
in
July.
I
need
to
be
on
the
cover
of Rolling
Stone.’”

Not
Kim

Much
has
been
said
about
Kim
Porter
being
Diddy’s
one
true
love.
However,
the
late
model
who
shared
three
children
with
Diddy
was
also
allegedly
physically
abused
by
him
as
well.
And
it
goes
without
saying
that
he
was
anything
but
faithful.
She
reportedly
broke
up
with
him
when
he
had
another
child
while
she
was
pregnant
with
her
twin
girls.

Shakir
Stewart
was
minding
his
business…

Shakir
Stewart
was
a
decorated
music
executive
who
passed
away
in
2008
(he
was
Def
Jam’s
VP
of
A&R
at
the
time).
But
back
in
2000,
he
made
the
mistake
of
daring
to
be
romantically
involved
with
Kim
Porter,
which
in
turn
enraged
Mr.
Combs.
Per
Rolling
Stone:
In
2000,
Porter’s
fledgling
courtship
with
late
music
executive
Shakir
Stewart
enraged
Combs.
When
the
industry
gathered
for
L.A.
Reid’s
wedding
in
Italy
that
summer,
Combs
went
to
Stewart’s
room
after
the
ceremony
and
allegedly
broke
a
chair
over
Stewart’s
head,
Stewart’s
mother
and
two
of
his
close
friends
tell Rolling
Stone.
“He
left
him
bleeding
on
a
hotel
floor
in
Italy,”
Stewart’s
mother,
Portia,
says.
“He
had
to
have
stitches
and
then
[Combs]
threatened
him
…
‘I’m
going
to
kill
you’
…
That’s
when
I
said
you
need
to
get
out
of
this
business.
This
man
is
crazy.”

Hate
Me
Now

Too
often
forgotten
is
how
back
in
1999,
Diddy
and
his
bodyguards
barged
into
then
Interscope
Records
executive
Steve
Stoute’s
office
laid
hands
and
feet
on
him.
Reportedly,
Diddy
was
upset
with
the
edit
of
Nas’
“Hate
Me
Now”
video
that
was
sent
to
MTV.
They
settled
out
of
court
for
about
$500,000
(at
minimum)
and
are
still
friends.
But
yeah,
that
happened.

Tupac
Was
Cool
On
Puff

Apparently
Tupac’s
“I
Get
Around”
was
studied
by
Bad
Boy
Records
execs
in
how
to
make
a
commercial
Hip-Hop
hit.
Diddy
tried
to
befriend
Pac,
but
while
the
latter
rapper
was
cool,
for
a
time,
with
the
Notorious
B.I.G.,
he
considered
Puff
a
“corny”
executive
according
to
photographer
and
Biggie’s
homie
Monqiue
Bunn.
7.
P.
Satan?

Andre
Harrell
was
Diddy’s
mentor,
but
the
student
became
terror
in
the
office
at
Uptown
Records.
So
much
so
that
the
other
execs
reportedly
referred
to
him
as
“Satan”
behind
his
back.
Eventually,
Harrell
fired
him.

HU
Diddy

Part
of
Diddy’s
origin
story
is
the
couple
of
years
he
spent
at
HBCU
Howard
University
as
an
undergrad
where
he
gained
a
rep
for
throwing
incredible
parties.
Unfortunately,
Rolling
Stone
tracked
down
witnesses
who
said
he
beat
a
girlfriend
on
campus
with
a
belt
in
a
fit
of
rage.
“Puff
is
out
here
acting
crazy.
He’s
beating
her,”
the
fellow
students
said,
according
to
the
classmate.”

The
Black
Mafia
Family
was
infamous
in
the
streets.
But
BMF
allegedly
planting
see
money
for
Bad
Boy
Records
wasn’t
on
our
bingo
card.
A
stray
line
from
a
portion
about
the
feds
raiding
Diddy’s
homes
in
Miami
and
Los
Angeles
reads:
“Agents
may
also
examine
Combs’
alleged
ties
to
the
infamous
Black
Mafia
Family cartel
after
the
Detroit
Jane
Doe
alleged
in
her
suit
that
the
group
“is
rumored
to
have
seeded
Bad
Boy.”
(No
criminal
charges
have
been
announced
as
of
publication.)”
