Miami Beach has officially revoked the Key to the City from the embattled American rapper, and songwriter, Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs amid his ongoing legal battle.
The city cut ties with the American business mogul, following a series of charges and lawsuits filed against him.
Miami Beach Mayor, Steven Meiner unanimously stripped Diddy of the honor during an in-person hearing last week.
This comes nine years after he was awarded the Key to the City.
Diddy was honored with the ceremonial key in 2015, following his contributions to the music industry and his pivotal role in organizing the Revolt Music Conference held in Miami Beach.
The 54-year-old is currently facing federal sex trafficking and racketeering charges.
Diddy is currently facing multiple sexual assault charges.
The rapper first made headlines in November 2023, when Cassie accused him of rape, abuse, and human trafficking during their 10-year relationship. The lawsuit was, however, settled out of court one day after it was filed.
Shortly after his case with Cassie, Diddy was accused of sexual assault in a lawsuit filed in the Manhattan supreme court. A woman named Joi Dickerson-Neal accused Diddy of drugging and raping her when she was a college student at Syracuse University in 1991.
A third woman, on the same day, accused the rapper of sexual assault. The lady alleged that Diddy and singer-songwriter Aaron Hall took turns raping her and a friend in New York City more than 30 years ago.
In December, Diddy was accused of sexual assault by a fourth victim. A woman accused Diddy, Harve Pierre, the former Bad Boy Entertainment president, and a third individual of sex trafficking and gang rape when she was 17.
On February 26, Rodney “Lil Rod” Jones, a former producer and videographer for Diddy, filed a lawsuit alleging that the rapper sexually harassed and drugged him.
In May, another former model identified as Crystal McKinney filed a lawsuit over allegations that the embattled rapper drugged and sexually assaulted her in 2003.
