Diddy has been laying low for the most part as more allegations against him continue to surface, and he is now having to miss a key moment in his daughter’s life as he navigates his legal troubles.
Chance Combs, born in 2006 to the mogul and Sarah Chapman, is currently in her final year of high school. On Thursday (May 30), TMZ reported that the 17-year-old’s father will not be attending her graduation ceremony at Sierra Canyon School in Los Angeles, California.

Though the outlet’s sources did not state an exact reason for his absence, Diddy’s ongoing legal scandal was most likely taken into consideration while making the decision.
Following a six-month investigation by Rolling Stone that was published earlier this week, Diddy is facing even more allegations of violence and sexual harassment.

The story, compiled using interviews with more than 50 people connected to him throughout his career, details how his alleged abusive behavior began during his time as a student at Howard University in the late 1980s.

The article describes an incident wherein he allegedly used a belt to strike a woman repeatedly, with an unnamed source saying: “[Puff] whupped her butt — like really whupped her butt.”
The report also alleges that he once beat up late Def Jam executive Shakir Stewart for dating his ex-girlfriend Kim Porter.

The incident allegedly took place in 2000 at LA Reid‘s wedding in Italy, where sources describe Puffy breaking a chair over his head and leaving him bleeding on a hotel floor. Stewart later committed suicide in 2008, while Porter (who shares three children with Puff) died of pneumonia in 2018.
The 54-year-old has also been accused of attacking a woman in Bad Boy’s office in 1994, resulting in two employees being forced to pull him away after hearing screams and the sound of smashing glass.
Another woman who worked for the label as a graphic designer claims he sexually harassed her in 2001 at a party celebrating his acquittal in the 1999 nightclub shooting, for which Shyne spent almost a decade in prison. She later found out that the record executive had allegedly approached her boss the night of the party to “solicit [her] for sex.”
“I felt quite unsettled about this for many years. When people ask me about my days at Bad Boy, it’s just overshadowed by his crap,” she said.

Additionally, the report also includes claims about Diddy’s relationships with other rappers, including that he was jealous of Biggie’s bond with 2Pac and did not “want that friendship to happen,” according to photographer Monique Bunn.
He apparently tried to build a bond with ‘Pac, but the Death Row MC “didn’t have any kind of respect for Puff,” Bunn said, adding that the rapper and actor saw him as a “corny executive.”
