Rap Mogul Denies 2006 Allegations While in Federal Custody
A $15 million civil lawsuit filed on December 23, 2024, accuses Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs of sexual assault at a 2006 New York City party. Oklahoma resident LaTroya Grayson claims she was drugged and assaulted after consuming two drinks at Combs’ event, according to court documents obtained by Fox News Digital. The lawsuit emerges as Combs remains in custody at MC Brooklyn awaiting federal sex trafficking charges. His representative calls Grayson’s claims “pure fiction.”
5 Key Points

- Court documents show the plaintiff woke in the hospital with torn clothing and missing possessions.
- The filing includes hotel receipts and flight records as supporting evidence.
- Federal prosecutors allege criminal enterprise through the Bad Boy Entertainment network.
- Separate civil suit names Jay-Z in the alleged assault of the 13-year-old victim.
2006 Party Leads to New Allegations
LaTroya Grayson attended Combs’ “black party” on October 16, 2006, where court documents state she lost consciousness after two premade drinks. The lawsuit details her next memory: “When [Grayson] returned to her hotel, she called a friend and explained she was not sure what happened to her, but believed she was drugged, assaulted, robbed with no memory of how she arrived at the hospital.” Grayson discovered her “shirt was ripped, her underwear was missing, she was not wearing any shoes and the money she had traveled with was stolen.” Her legal team provided hotel receipts and flight records documenting travel from Oklahoma to New York City. An anonymous caller later warned Grayson that legal action would be “futile because Defendant Combs was a ‘celebrity’ and that [Grayson] would ‘just be wasting her time.'” Combs’ team responded, “Ms. Grayson admits she has no memory of the events alleged in her complaint, does not know who was supposedly involved, and has never spoken to Mr. Combs.”
Recent Civil Suit Links Jay-Z to Allegations
A December 8 amendment to an existing lawsuit named Jay-Z, initially identified as “Celebrity A,” in separate assault allegations. Court documents claim a 13-year-old victim became disoriented after one drink and entered a bedroom to rest. The complaint states the girl “immediately recognized all three celebrities” when Jay-Z, Diddy, and an unnamed female “Celebrity B” entered. According to the filing, Jay-Z allegedly assaulted the minor first, followed by Combs, while the third person observed. Through Roc Nation’s social media, Jay-Z responded: “These allegations are so heinous in nature that I implore you to file a criminal complaint, not a civil one!! Whomever would commit such a crime against a minor should be locked away, would you not agree?” Combs’ representatives maintain he “has never sexually assaulted anyone” and describe the claims as a “lawyer-driven money grab.”
Federal Case Alleges Business Network Exploitation
Federal prosecutors detail how Combs allegedly operated a criminal enterprise through Bad Boy Entertainment, Combs Enterprises, and Combs Global. The unsealed indictment describes the systematic use of “firearms, threats of violence, coercion, and verbal, emotional, physical, and sexual abuse” across his business operations. His representative stated, “Mr. Combs has faith in the judicial process, in which fact will be separated from opportunistic fabrications.” The investigation spans multiple jurisdictions, leading to Combs’ current detention at MC Brooklyn as he awaits trial on sex trafficking charges.
