In November, Casandra “Cassie” Ventura filed a federal lawsuit against Sean “Diddy” Combs in New York federal court. Her lawsuit includes graphic claims of sexual assault, physical abuse, and an allegation that Combs, her ex-boyfriend, would force her to have sex with male sex workers while he watched. Ventura’s claims are among the worst, but not the first controversy that the music mogul and entrepreneur has been alleged to be involved in.

Music mogul Diddy and Usher were very close, as the Bad Boys CEO was instrumental in helping the singer’s career. But at one point, it was alleged that Usher went to Diddy for help. And Diddy refusing to help the star caused a temporary rift between the two.

Usher isn’t hurting for money nowadays. According to Investopedia, the multi-platinum artist is worth $180 million. He’s managed to maintain his longevity nicely, having earned $40 million doing shows in Las Vegas. He’s often attributed much of his success to Diddy, who helped develop Usher’s talents during his teenage years.

Music mogul Diddy might’ve had his first true love in the late Kim Porter. Although they tried to make their relationship work, Porter eventually felt she had to leave Diddy no matter what.

Diddy and Porter had been in an off-and-on relationship for a number of years. They dated in 1994 before breaking up in 1999. At this time, Diddy was in a relationship with Jennifer Lopez, which further caused the rift between himself and Porter. However, Porter was why Diddy couldn’t fully invest in Lopez.
“Jennifer and I are so much alike as far as our drive, our determination, what we want to achieve. That’s why we connected,” Diddy once told Oprah. “But I could never go forward and finish the relationship with Jennifer because I was still in love with Kim. She still had my heart.

Ever since the raids on Sean “Diddy” Combs‘ homes in California and Florida a name that’s been coming up a lot is Jay-Z. Part of that has to do with fellow rapper 50 Cent who has been trolling both men on social media following the news.
In one Instagram post, 50 put up an image of Jay’s face on the side of a milk carton with the word “Missing” written above the photo and captioned it: “Anybody seen Jay Lol” with several laughing emojis and “Puff said … ain’t answering his phone. Lol.” Then in another post, the “In da Club” artist shared a pic of the “99 Problems” rapper waving to a camera and wrote: “Here is Jay-Z last reported seen waving at Puffy jet” with an airplane emoji.
While there have been several lawsuits brought against Diddy recently alleging sexual assault and abuse spanning over three decades, Jay-Z has not been accused in those.

We can't talk about the greatest rappers to come out of the golden age of hip-hop without mentioning Fat Joe. The Puerto Rican and Cuban rapper from the Bronx, NY, has undoubtedly had a major impact on the culture and its movement, putting out 13 studio albums and numerous hit singles like "Flow Joe," "What's Luv?," "Lean Back," and many more. The Grammy-nominated hip-hop artist also started his own record label Terror Squad Production, where he earned a reputation for cultivating raw talents like legendary Puerto Rican emcee Big Pun, who died on Feb. 7, 2000, at age 28.
While 30 years have gone by since Fat Joe dropped his debut first album, "Represent," in 1993, the Boricua artist still remains relevant as one of hip-hop's GOATs. "I want them to know I'm one of the greats and that I've always been an ambassador for hip-hop and put that first," Fat Joe tells Popsugar of his cultural impact.

A spiritual connection formed between Diddy and James Corden on the latest episode of Carpool Karaoke. After running through the first song of their drive together, “Bad Boy for Life,” the Late Late Show host asked the musician-turned-mogul for advice as he prepares to move on from the show. He wants a new moniker for the era — and no one changes his nickname quite as often as Diddy.
Throughout his career, he’s been known as Puff Daddy, P. Diddy, Diddy, Puffy, and most recently, Love. There’s also the matter of his birth name,...

The last time Puff Daddy made a pure, uncut hip-hop album intended for car stereos instead of techno-fried dance floors was back in 2001 – before mixtapes like 50 Cent Is the Future made his big-budget rap albums unfashionable, and before YouTube made his big-budget music videos unnecessary. In those days, before he went by “Diddy,” he was the rap mogul who got Sting to sing about the Notorious B.I.G. on the MTV Video Music Awards, who got Jimmy Page to remake “Kashmir” for a Hollywood Godzilla reboot, whose videos had speedboats and Dennis Hopper.

Puff Daddy’s remix to the 1998 Smashing Pumpkins single “Ava Adore,” is finally seeing release after 16 years. The track appears on the fourth disc of the six-cd, one-dvd Adore “super deluxe edition,” a reissue of the band’s fourth album that’s scheduled for a September 23rd release on Virgin/UMe.
“Puffy has lent his Midas touch to ‘Ava Adore’ and ‘Perfect,’ both of which turn up in their original form on the Pumpkins latest effort, Adore,” MTV News reported in 1998. “There’s no word yet on when the Puffy-flavored Pumpkins tracks might surface,...

Puff Daddy is on a quest for total validation in his new song “I Want the Love,” which features Meek Mill and comes complete with a ridiculous, frigid video directed by Eif Rivera. As the recently redubbed Puffy expounds in the song’s intro, he’s not into funerals or people crying during hour-long specials about his life after he’s gone — “Love me while I’m here!” he screams from somewhere in the Swiss Alps.

Diddy and Diddy and who has appeared in movies using his own name and a few Diddy-like variations thereof – has decided to come full circle and resume using the Puff Daddy name.
