Diddy is now facing even more sexual misconduct allegations following his arrest last month.

The rapper, whose real name is Sean Combs, was arrested at the Park Hyatt hotel in Manhattan, New York in September.

Combs has since been charged with racketeering and sex trafficking by force, fraud or coercion - all of which he has denied.

Despite that, the 54-year-old has been denied bail for the second time.

Marc Agnifilo, his lawyer, said in a statement following the arrest: "We are disappointed with the decision to pursue what we believe is an unjust prosecution of Mr. Combs by the US Attorney’s Office.

"Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs is a music icon, self-made entrepreneur, loving family man, and proven philanthropist who has spent the last 30 years building an empire, adoring his children, and working to uplift the Black community. He is an imperfect person but is not criminal."

And it was revealed on Tuesday (1 October) that Diddy is facing even more allegations of alleged sexual misconduct, with 120 accusers coming forward.

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."

One of the plaintiffs’ attorneys, Andrew Van Arsdale, has since told the Washington Post that the allegations are from both men and women.

They reportedly range in age from nine to 38 at the time of the attacks, with the attorney stating the filings are 'unprecedented in scope'.

Buzbee went on to detail a bunch of claims made against Combs, including 'violent sexual assault or rape, facilitated sex with a controlled substance and sexual abuse of minors'.

He also said that Combs' alleged accomplices would be named.

He said: "The day will come when we will name names other than Sean Combs, and there's a lot of names.

"It’s a long list already, but because of the nature of this case, we are going to make sure damn sure we are right before we do that. These names will shock you.

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.”
