Shortly before Diddy hosted a star-studded New Year’s Eve party aboard the yacht in December 2022, which attracted the likes of rappers Joe Budden and Travis Scott, Christian, 26, also known as King, is accused of sexually assaulting him while partying.
Allegations have been made against his 30-year-old half-brother Justin that he and his father covered up a friend’s gunshot death in a Los Angeles recording studio in September 2022.
As part of a Homeland Security search on 54-year-old P Diddy’s Los Angeles house in March, the brothers were also momentarily shackled and arrested amid many allegations of sexual assault against the singer, including the trafficking of young women.
To look into the “excessive use of force” during the raids, the family has enlisted the services of Jeffrey Lichtman, the longtime attorney for notorious gangster John Gotti Junior.
In the past, Gotti, the acting head of the Gambino crime family in the 1990s, and drug lord Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman, the head of the Sinaloa cartel, an international crime organization, were both represented by Lichtman.
After Cassie Ventura signed to P Diddy’s company, Bad Boy Records, in 2006, the R&B singer and ex-boyfriend of the rapper accused him of rape and launched a decade-long campaign of assault.
The day after Cassie filed her lawsuit, Diddy, whose real name is Sean John Combs, reached an out-of-court settlement.
