Sean 'Diddy' Combs has faced a backlash from social media users after a bizarre interview from 2002 resurfaced in which he discussed the concept of "locking women up"

In a lawsuit filed on 16 November 2023, Cassie Ventura accused Sean Combs of rape, physical abuse and sex trafficking, detailing the repeated assaults she says she was subjected to during their relationship, which lasted more than a decade. She also alleges he raped her after she tried to leave him.
