Diddy is facing further allegations of violence and sexual harassment following a six-month investigation into the Bad Boy Records founder by Rolling Stone.
The story, compiled through interviews with more than 50 people connected to Diddy 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 where the mogul 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 Diddy once beat up late Def Jam executive Shakir Stewart for dating his ex-girlfriend Kim Porter.

The incident allegedly happened in 2000 at L.A. Reid’s wedding in Italy, where sources describe Puffy breaking a chair over Stewart’s head and leaving him bleeding on a hotel floor.
Stewart later committed suicide in 2008, while Porter — who shares three children with Diddy — died of pneumonia in 2018.

Diddy is also accused of attacking a woman in Bad Boy’s offices 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 Bad Boy as a graphic designer claims he sexually harassed her in 2001 at a party celebrating his acquittal in the 1999 NYC nightclub shooting for which Shyne spent almost a decade in prison.
The woman claims Diddy approached her and began massaging her shoulders while telling her: “Oh, yeah, you like that? I know you like that.”
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.
The report also includes claims about Diddy’s relationships with other rappers, including that he was jealous of The Notorious B.I.G.‘s friendship with 2Pac and did not “want that friendship to happen,” according to photographer Monique Bunn.
Diddy 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 ‘Pac saw him as a “corny executive.”
The Harlem native was also allegedly disliked at both Bad Boy and his former label Uptown, with ex-signee Ma$e allegedly nicknaming him “massa” — a nod to the southern dialect for a slave master.

Diddy declined to comment on the allegations made by the publication, with his lawyer saying: “Mr. Combs cannot comment on settled litigation, will not comment on pending litigation, and cannot address every allegation picked up by the press from any source, no matter how unreliable.
“We are aware that the proper authorities are conducting a thorough investigation and therefore have confidence any important issues will be addressed in the proper forum, where the rules distinguish facts from fiction.”

The allegations add to the six sexual assault lawsuits that have been filed against the Bad Boy boss, as well as the federal sex trafficking investigation that saw two of his homes raided in March.
Earlier this month, CCTV footage of Diddy brutally attacking ex-girlfriend Cassie in 2016 also leaked online, prompting an apology from the mogul.
