Diddy’s key to Miami Beach to be rescinded by the city following disgraced rapper’s arrest and sex trafficking indictment

Diddy's key to Miami Beach to be rescinded by the city following disgraced rapper's arrest and sex trafficking indictment

As a lifestyle expert with over three decades of experience under my belt, I must say that it is always disheartening to witness such a fall from grace by someone who was once held in high esteem in the entertainment industry. Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs, once a symbol of success and power in the music world, now stands accused of serious misconduct and is losing the keys to cities that once opened their doors to him with open arms.


Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs’ key to Miami Beach will be rescinded and taken back by the city.

At an undetermined point in time, the city of Florida will rescind the honor bestowed upon the controversial rapper, who is now 54 years old, and take back the ceremonial key they presented to him in October 2015.

Following his arrest, indictment for sex trafficking, and an increasing number of allegations, this situation involves the music industry leader.

Several months earlier, Combs was also asked to return New York’s Key to the City.

Previously, he had received a ceremonial key from Chicago, yet it’s uncertain whether Chicago has similarly revoked this honor, as well.

Miami city authorities are close to cancelling a crucial document soon, but the precise date when this decision becomes official remains uncertain because of Hurricane Milton, as reported by TMZ.

On Wednesday, Florida braces for an impending storm, and I’ve learned from my trusted sources within the industry that this is the reason behind the delay in finalizing some decisions. Stay safe and prepared, everyone!

In 2015, the then-mayor, Philip Levine, bestowed the symbolic city key upon Combs during the Revolt Music Conference held at the Fontainebleau, a lively city location.

The city has also awarded keys to the city to other Hollywood stars including Combs’ ex, Jennifer Lopez. 

Shortly after Dwayne Combs handed over the City Key back to New York City in June, this was done so following a request made by Mayor Eric Adams in a letter.

In his correspondence, he requested the return of the key following the public release of a video that appeared to show Diddy (Combs) physically attacking his former partner, Cassie Ventura, on hotel CCTV, which sparked a significant uproar.

The mayor sent the embattled rapper a letter, in which he stated that he stands with survivors of domestic abuse. 

He also noted that the Key to the City is awarded to model citizens and said that Combs no longer met the criteria for selection.

Last month, a troubling video emerged once more, depicting the Democratic mayor of New York City, who himself is undergoing criminal proceedings, bestowing a key upon Combs. This event occurred approximately a year ago, when the mayor honored the rapper with a ceremonial award.

Earlier on, in October 2006, Sean Combs was bestowed with the Key to the City of Chicago. The honor was presented by then-Mayor Richard Daley.

Combs is currently in jail after he was arrested in New York City last month.

He’s currently dealing with accusations of sex trafficking, and he’s yet to stand trial for that. Additionally, over a hundred sexual misconduct claims have been made against him.

Just a few days ago, a lawyer declared that he’s working on cases for 120 individuals who claim they were victims of sexual misconduct by a well-known hip-hop entrepreneur.

In simple terms, Tony Buzbee, an attorney based in Houston, anticipates that legal actions will be initiated over the next month, primarily in cities like New York and Los Angeles.

Buzbee described the victims as 60 males and 60 females, and that 25 were minors at the time of the alleged misconduct. 

One individual alleged he was only age nine when he was abused, Buzbee said. The allegations cover a period from 1991 to this year.

Buzbee stated during a press conference that such acts of sexual misconduct – including assault, abuse, and exploitation – should never occur in the U.S., or anywhere else for that matter. It’s unacceptable that this behavior has been tolerated for so long. Regrettably, many people have been hurt, traumatized, and left with emotional scars as a result of these actions.
