Lawyer claims Diddy's list of accomplices will be revealed as 120 new accusers come forward
New allegations surrounding Diddy came to light on Tuesday
A lawyer representing 120 people accusing Diddy of sexual misconduct has claimed a list of the rapper's accomplices will soon be revealed.
Diddy, whose real name is Sean Combs, was arrested at the Park Hyatt hotel in Manhattan, New York last month.
The rapper has since been charged with racketeering and sex trafficking by force, fraud or coercion - all of which he has denied.
On Tuesday (1 October), it was revealed 120 people have come forward accusing Diddy of sexual misconduct.

Tony Buzbee, an attorney who is representing those who are making the claims, said at a press conference: "We will expose the enablers who enabled this conduct behind closed doors. We will pursue this matter no matter who the evidence implicates.
"The biggest secret in the entertainment industry, that really wasn’t a secret at all, has finally been revealed to the world. The wall of silence has now been broken."
Buzbee added the names of Diddy's accomplices 'will shock you'.
"The day will come when we will name names other than Sean Combs, and there's a lot of names," he said.
Buzbee said he will file 120 lawsuits in New York, Los Angeles and Miami within the next 30 days.
He added that he will name other defendants at a later date.
He said: "It's a long list already, but because of the nature of this case, we are going to make damn sure, damn sure, that we're right before we do that."
The allegations are said to be from both men and women, with them ranging in age from nine to 38 at the time of the alleged attacks.
Elsewhere in the press conference, Buzbee went on to detail some of the claims made against Combs, including 'violent sexual assault or rape, facilitated sex with a controlled substance and sexual abuse of minors'.
In light of the recent allegations, Combs' attorney Erica Wolf told UNILAD: "As Mr. Combs’ legal team has emphasized, he cannot address every meritless allegation in what has become a reckless media circus.
"That said, Mr. Combs emphatically and categorically denies as false and defamatory any claim that he sexually abused anyone, including minors.
"He looks forward to proving his innocence and vindicating himself in court, where the truth will be established based on evidence, not speculation.”
