Rapper Sean Combs, aka Diddy or Puff Daddy, was targeted on Wednesday December 6 by a new civil complaint accusing him of gang rape of a 17-year-old minor in 2003, the fourth accusation of sexual assault in three weeks for this hip-hop heavyweight.
The complaint accuses Sean Combs as well as the president of his production company Bad Boy Records, Harve Pierre, and a third individual, of having incited the teenager to follow them from Detroit, in the state of Michigan, to his studio to New York by private jet, where they allegedly forced her to drink and drugged her before forcing her to have sex.

Sean Combs, rapper who became a billionaire businessman thanks to his production company and his investments in fashion and alcoholic beverages, has vigorously denied the accusations. His lawyer did not immediately respond to AFP on Wednesday after the announcement of this new complaint.
