New York Metropolis Mayor Eric Adams hasn’t determined whether or not to revoke Diddy’s key to the town. The mayor mentioned he talked to his staff throughout an interview with 94.7’s “Jonsey within the Morning” present on Wednesday (Might 29), however that the matter remained unsettled.
“We’ll make a proper announcement as soon as that’s decided,” Adams famous, per the New York Day by day Information.
Adams reiterated how disturbed he was by Diddy assaulting Cassie Ventura after a video of the incident surfaced on Might 17. CNN obtained surveillance footage of Diddy attacking Cassie at a Los Angeles resort in 2016, corroborating a number of the allegations in her since-settled lawsuit in opposition to him.
“That video, as you noticed, was actually, actually painful to look at,” Adams continued. “As an individual who has two sisters, you realize, I used to be actually troubled by it.”
Diddy was awarded a key to the town in September 2023. Simply a few months later, a number of girls—together with Cassie—sued the Hip-Hop mogul for sexual assault amid different claims.
A number of New York Metropolis council members urged Adams to revoke Diddy’s key to the town after the assault video emerged. “Jonesy within the Morning” host Tarsha Jones joked, “If all else fails, simply change the locks.” The mayor laughed on the suggestion.
Two extra girls sued Diddy for sexual assault after the Cassie Ventura video went public. The lawsuits added to Diddy’s authorized woes as he was already the topic of a federal investigation.
Based on CNN, federal investigators are getting ready to convey a few of Diddy’s accusers earlier than a grand jury. The feds are doubtless looking for an indictment. Earlier this 12 months, Homeland Safety raided his houses to research intercourse trafficking allegations.
Diddy publicly denied the varied allegations in opposition to him, however he issued an apology in response to proof of his assault on Ventura. He mentioned his “habits on that video is inexcusable” and claimed he sought assist after the very fact.
