It’s a stunning fall for the “It’s All About the Benjamins” rapper, who was once hip-hop’s richest and most influential mogul.

When U.S. Attorney Damian Williams revealed what federal agents found during the raid on Diddy’s Miami residence in March, he showed images showing seized unmarked AR-15s, ammunition and 1,000 bottles of baby oil and other lubricant.

“The indictment alleges that Combs abused, threatened and coerced victims between at least 2008 and the present to fulfill his sexual desires, protect his reputation and conceal his conduct,” Williams said.

“The indictment alleges that Combs used and exploited women and other people in various ways for years. As alleged, Combs used violence, threats of violence, and coercion to induce victims to engage in prolonged sexual performances with male commercial sex workers, some of whom were transported or had them transported across state lines.”

They also revealed that evidence of Combs’ long-rumored sex parties — which he called “freak offs” — was collected during their raids on his homes in Los Angeles and Miami, during which they found “electronic devices containing images and videos of the freak.” . offs, with multiple victims.’

Diddy happily planned and controlled the “sex performances,” the FBI alleged, which sometimes lasted “for days at a time,” involving sex workers and a variety of narcotics such as ketamine, ecstasy and GHB, “which Combs distributed to the victims to to keep them obedient and compliant.”

This isn’t the first time Williams has been mentioned amid Diddy’s scandal, as fans quickly realized that the former talk show host had been warning the world about his alleged crimes for years.

Graves says the music mogul and his head of security, Joseph Sherman, raped her in 2001 at the Bad Boys Records studios in New York.

Graves claims she was 25 and dating one of the rapper’s associates when she was lured to a meeting by Diddy, who said he wanted to “discuss her boyfriend’s alleged performance issues.”
