Elon Musk recently commented on the growing allegations against music mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs in a pointed jab at the entertainment industry.
“How many people in music & entertainment knew about this?” Elon Musk said, sharing an article detailing the allegations against Diddy which have sparked widespread outrage and conversation.
Diddy is facing multiple lawsuits alleging severe misconduct, including sexual assault and abuse.He has been accused by various women, including his former partner Cassie Ventura, who have accused him of years of physical, emotional, and sexual abuse.
Musk’s remarks resonated on social media, where one user questioned: “How many other cases are there like this that we don’t know about in the music industry?” Musk responded saying, “Good question.”
Another commenter said, “All of them. Just like everyone knew about Weinstein in Hollywood,” highlighting the troubling culture of silence surrounding such issues in the entertainment industry.
Combs is a towering figure in hip-hop and the music industry and is renowned for his influence as an executive, producer, and performer. With three Grammy Awards to his name, he has collaborated with notable artists. He founded Bad Boy Records in 1993, launched the Sean John fashion line, and established the Revolt TV network, from which he divested his stake earlier this year.
‘Over 120 victims, including 25 minors’
Texas-based attorney Tony Buzbee on Tuesday revealed that 120 accusers have come forward with allegations of sexual misconduct against Combs. Buzbee said that he possesses a list of names that he believes will “shock” the public. The accusers include 60 males and females, with 25 of them being minors at the time of the alleged misconduct. Diddy’s legal team has yet to issue a response to these new claims, and he has not pleaded guilty to charges of sex trafficking and racketeering.
Buzbee shared that his firm received communications from over 3,280 individuals claiming they were victimized by Combs. After a thorough vetting process, they decided to represent 120 of these cases, with additional allegations still under review.
The alleged abuse predominantly occurred at parties in New York, California, and Florida, where attendees were allegedly given drinks laced with drugs.
