A prominent Los Angeles music executive, who represents Machine Gun Kelly and once bragged about his ties to disgraced rapper Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs, has been accused of sexually assaulting his 20-year-old neighbor, DailyMail.com can exclusively reveal .
Aaron “Ace” Christian, 36, allegedly carried out the attack on the woman’s home in June and has since threatened her and her boyfriend by making throat-slicing motions toward them from his balcony, according to a temporary restraining order obtained by DailyMail.com .
The self-described “artist manager,” who claims to have also represented Wyclef Jean, Mod Sun and Chance The Rapper, has more than 19,000 followers on Instagram, where he has been heavily promoting his client, rapper Cordae, in recent months.
Last week, the alleged victim – whose identity is being withheld by DailyMail.com – filed a police report against the Massachusetts-born music mogul, accusing him of forcing her to perform oral sex on him during the late-night attack.
According to an account of the incident included in the restraining order application – which was initially granted – Christian had been invited to the woman’s apartment to spend time with her boyfriend.
The father-of-one arrived with his girlfriend but she left in the early evening to put their five-year-old son to bed.

The victim says she was eventually left alone with him after her boyfriend went upstairs to sleep – at which point Christian allegedly attacked her while she was cleaning up.
She said: ‘Suddenly he approached me from behind and started grabbing my waist and said, “You know you want me”.’
Despite repeatedly saying no and turning away from Christian, the victim claims he cornered her and grabbed her by the throat before exposing himself while shouting: ‘Suck my d*** b***h ‘.
She added: ‘Considering he had me by the throat, which had never happened to me before, I felt so scared and knew I had no other choice.
‘I was pushed to my knees with his hand still holding my throat and I was forced to perform an oral performance on him.’
Although Christian left shortly after the alleged attack, the victim says he was left traumatized and in tears “because I was raped in my own home.”

In her account of the incident, included in the application for a restraining order, she claims he forced her to perform oral sex on him during the nighttime attack.
She says she initially kept the attack quiet out of fear of what her boyfriend would say — and even hung out with Christian and his girlfriend in the months after the alleged attack.
But, she says, that led to the 36-year-old continuing to sexually harass her when her boyfriend was out of the room.
The alleged victim said: ‘I did my best to forget about it and stayed cool around Aaron, but even though I tried to avoid being alone with him at all costs, it kept getting worse.
‘After the incident, every time we were alone for even a split second or when my boyfriend went to the bathroom, Aaron aggressively grabbed my face and kissed me forcefully as I pulled away and said no every time. .’
Eventually, she said, her boyfriend noticed a marked decline in her mental health, including insomnia and a short temper.
He confronted her and, she says, “I burst into tears and told him everything.”

Last week, she reported the incident to the LAPD, although they have yet to arrest Christian.
Christian did not respond to a DailyMail.com request for comment. He is from New Bedford, Massachusetts, and attended St. Andrews University in North Carolina on a basketball scholarship.
After graduating, he moved to Tempe, Arizona, where he worked for cigarette paper company Raw Rolling Papers.
In 2019, he moved to LA, where he began managing Grammy-nominated rapper Cordae – a role he still holds.
Christian also works for talent management company The Range, which represents Halle Berry and Michael Fassbender, among others, although neither are his clients.
According to his Linkedin page, Christian has also collaborated with Asher Roth, Keyshia Cole and MTV.
Last year, Christian gave an interview to Springhill – an empowerment brand founded by LeBron James and Maverick Carter.
The 2023 interview, titled ‘Call My People: A Conversation with Aaron ‘Ace’ Christian’ and posted to Springhill’s YouTube channel, saw him boast about his visits to Diddy’s studio in New Jersey and his work with Cordae.
