The shocking case against Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs

He was a giant on the American music scene, but Sean Combs, who goes by the stage name Diddy, is now facing charges that put him at the centre of what could be a much-needed MeToo moment for the industry. 

The rapper has been arrested, accused of sex trafficking and running a criminal enterprise centred on abusing women. 

Today, what we know about the case and whether it will change the global music industry.

Music journalist and co-founder of The Brag Media, Poppy Reid, discusses the potential impact of these allegations on Hollywood and the broader entertainment industry. 

She explains the background of the charges, including the lawsuit filed by Diddy’s former girlfriend, Cassie Ventura, and the subsequent raids on his properties.

Poppy Reid says the indictment details graphic allegations of abuse and coercion spanning over a decade. 

She believes this case could trigger a significant MeToo movement within the music industry, similar to what happened in the film industry with Harvey Weinstein.
