Diddy is facing yet another sexual assault lawsuit, this time from an anonymous up-and-coming artist.
In the suit, filed by attorney Tony Buzbee, who is responsible for a number of legal actions against Diddy, the embattled mogul is accused of drugging and sexually assaulting a male rapper and singer in 2015, according to Variety.

The man, who is referred to in the lawsuit as John Doe, claims that he was scheduled to be the opening act for a popular artist at a number of Los Angeles nightclubs.
Before one concert, Doe says he was told that Diddy would be in attendance and he could land a deal with Bad Boy Records if he performed well.

The aspiring musician claims that he later attended an afterparty where he witnessed other famous entertainers taking drugs. While there, he was handed a drink by one of Puffy’s associates and soon realized that he had been drugged, according to the suit.
Doe then alleges that as he began drifting in and out of consciousness, he witnessed Diddy engage in group sex with people he describes as “drugged, unconscious, or as if they were paid escorts.”

The Harlem-bred hitmaker is alleged to have goped the man while he was unconscious and even performed oral sex on him.
Doe says he tried to fight off Diddy but was told he needed to comply if he wanted to succeed in the music business.
Puffy then allegedly ordered Doe to have sex with another woman, but he made up an excuse and escaped to the parking lot.
Diddy vehemently denies the claims, with his lawyer saying in a statement: “As we’ve said before, Mr. Combs cannot respond to every new publicity stunt, even in response to claims that are facially ridiculous or demonstrably false.

“Mr. Combs and his legal team have full confidence in the facts and the integrity of the judicial process. In court, the truth will prevail: that Mr. Combs never sexually assaulted or trafficked anyone — man or woman, adult or minor.”
In addition to his growing number of lawsuits, the 55-year-old is currently in jail awaiting trial on charges of sex trafficking, racketeering and transportation to engage in prostitution — all of which he has pleaded not guilty to.
His trial is expected to begin in May. If convicted, he faces up to life in prison.
