Sean 'Diddy' Combs is the subject of an ongoing federal criminal investigation by the U.S. Attorney's Office in the Southern District of New York, with a federal grand jury hearing evidence, although no imminent charges have been reported. This development follows a series of legal challenges, including sexual assault allegations and settlements, as well as a video showing Combs assaulting his then-girlfriend in 2016. Combs has faced consequences such as losing honors from Howard University and divesting his stake in projects. The investigation also coincides with the sale of Combs' Los Angeles property for $70 million, indicating a potential relocation. Mayor Eric Adams requested the return of New York's Key to the City from Combs due to the assault video, further adding to the legal and public relations turmoil surrounding the music mogul.
