A musician has come forward with other allegations against Sean "Diddy" Combs following the news of the latter's arrest on September 16, 2024, including how the rapper started his Bad Boy Records label.
On September 17, a musician by the name of Castle Black posted a thread on X under his handle @A_major420. The 14-post thread detailed how Diddy allegedly got the money to start his record label in 1993. The thread started with the tweet:
"I get to finally expose everything I know about Diddy from personal/family accounts. I’ve been waiting."
In follow-up tweets, Black alleged that Diddy threw a party for an elite crowd of wealthy people, where the food and drinks were drugged. The musician claimed that Combs filmed the entire party, which soon devolved into a "crazy org* with some very…deviant behavior."

"At this party, these wealthy folks were living it up. Eating good, enjoying libations, the usual. However, what they didn’t know is that they were in for more debauchery than they expected. Why? Because their food and drink was drugged," he tweeted.
Black further claimed that Combs used the footage as extortion and blackmail to get money from the alleged victims, who were mostly rich white-label executives. He added that Combs allegedly used that cash to fund Bad Boy Records.
Castle Black followed this with another story, in which he mentioned a male R&B group that Diddy had a hand in creating. He claimed that the group and Diddy had not always seen eye to eye since its formation, which led to one of the members wanting to leave the group.
However, Black further claimed that Diddy didn't want the group to break up, so he sent people to the unnamed member's house to physically and s*xually assault him. Castle Black concluded his thread by stating that people didn't have to believe him, but adding that what he's saying isn't far-fetched, considering all the recent allegations against Diddy.
"Now, I ain’t nobody. You don’t have to believe me. But given everything that’s come to light as of late, yall know what I’m saying ain’t that far fetched. Also, don’t come looking for me because tea was spilled. I will personally oversee your earthly exit." he concluded.
The thread went viral on X, with the first tweet amassing 6.6 million views and 63K likes at the time of writing.
Castle Black produces music under the moniker Heir Meezy, and his song Back Home is available on YouTube, Amazon Music, Spotify, and Apple Music.
Diddy pled not guilty to his charges
Sean Combs, arrested at a hotel in Manhattan on Monday, pled not guilty to his charges during his arraignment hearing on September 17, 2024. The rapper faced charges of "racketeering, s*x trafficking by force, and transportation to engage in prostitution." He stands to face 15 years to life in prison if found guilty.
Diddy was denied bail, as the prosecution argued he was a flight risk, and will remain in federal custody at the Metropolitan Detention Centre. Marc Agnifilo, his lawyer, will reportedly appeal the no-bail verdict on Wednesday, September 18.
In a press conference after the hearing, he added that Diddy came to New York to "turn himself in" before he was arrested, stating:
“He came here to turn himself in. Why doesn’t the government want him to turn himself in? Because then they can’t ask for detention. All we can do is show good faith. He got on a plane and he came here. They arrested a guy who came here to turn himself in.”
The 14-page indictment alleged that Combs held elaborate s*xual encounters called "freak offs," in which he drugged and forced his victims to perform s*x acts with male s*x workers for his pleasure.
According to court documents, the "freak offs" allegedly lasted for days, leaving Diddy and the victims so exhausted that they had to take IV drips to replenish themselves. Damian Williams, a New York district attorney, said in a press conference:
“The ‘freak offs’ sometimes lasted days at a time, involved multiple commercial s*x workers, and often involved a variety of narcotics — such as ketamine, ecstasy and GHB — which Combs distributed to the victims to keep them obedient and compliant.”
Combs' LA and Miami homes, raided in March, saw police recover firearm, ammunition, and 1000 bottles of baby oil.
Diddy's legal troubles started in November 2023
Sean Combs' legal battles began when his ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura sued him for physically and s*xually abusing her for the better part of a decade. The lawsuit, filed in November 2023, was settled out of court a day after it was filed.
The "freak offs" were also detailed in the suit. Ventura alleged she was forced to participate in them. Following this, several people came forward to sue the rapper for abuse, which led to Sean denying all allegations. However, a 2016 video of him physically assaulting Ventura resurfaced in May 2024.
In the CCTV video obtained by CNN, Combs is seen kicking, hitting, and throwing things at Ventura in the hallways of a now-defunct InterContinental Hotel. The rapper then uploaded a video on his Instagram account, apologizing for his past actions.
Combs' case is ongoing at the time of writing this article, with the next hearing scheduled for September 18, 2024.
