The city revoked a proclamation of 'Sean Diddy Combs Day' after a unanimous vote by city commissioners on Wednesday, June 26, according to the Miami Herald.
The ex-holiday was established in October 2016 by then-Mayor Philip Levine to celebrate the Miami Beach resident. The move by commissioners is just the latest fallout from a raft of sexual assault lawsuits filed against the 54-year-old music mogul. The controversy intensified last month when CNN released a 2016 surveillance video showing Diddy assaulting his ex-girlfriend, R&B singer Cassie Ventura, in a hotel hallway.
The rapper continued, “I went and sought out professional help. I’ve been going to therapy, going to rehab. Had to ask God for his mercy and grace. I’m so sorry, but I’m committed to being a better man each and every day. I’m not asking for forgiveness. I’m truly sorry.”“Combs’ most recent statement is more about himself than the many people he has hurt,” Meredith Firetog, a partner at Wigdor LLP, said in a Sunday, May 19, statement to Us Weekly.
“When Cassie and multiple other women came forward, he denied everything and suggested that his victims were looking for a payday,” Firetog continued. “That he was only compelled to ‘apologize’ once his repeated denials were proven false shows his pathetic desperation, and no one will be swayed by his disingenuous words.”
Miami Beach is not the first city to take away an honor from the disgraced rapper and label head. New York City Mayor Eric Adams revoked Diddy's honorary key to the city in response to the disturbing footage of his assault on Ventura.
