On the civil side, we've had bombshell balcony-dangling allegations, people from Michael Jackson to OJ woven into the web of the 'Diddy-verse', claims against Jay–Z issued and then withdrawn, while the Texan trial lawyer Tony Buzbee told the BBC he has over 150 cases he could raise against Diddy.What does Sean 'Diddy' Combs say? He's denied all the allegations and consistently said he's never sexually assaulted anyone — man, or woman, adult or minor.
