Diddy issues raging statement from jail amid 120 more victims coming forward with sex abuse claims

The rapper labeled the accusations he's facing as 'meritless'

Diddy has issued a scathing statement from behind bars as more victims have come forward with accusations about the rapper.

Earlier this week, more than 100 people came forward to accuse Diddy of sexual assault, and have gone on to file suits against him.

Houston-based lawyer Tony Buzbee is representing the men and women who accuse Diddy - real name Sean Combs - of sexual abuse and exploitation, spanning across 25 states.

Some cases are said to date back as far as 1991, when some of the accusers were children.

Buzbee said that the team will 'aggressively pursue' the claims his clients have made against the music mogul and will 'leave no stone unturned'.

In the wake of the fresh allegations he's facing, Diddy has issued a statement through his attorney Erica Wolff.

She 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."

Elsewhere, US attorney for the Southern District of New York, Damian Williams has said that the rapper 'did not do this all on his own'.

"He used his business and employees of that business and other close associates to get his way," Williams added.

With this in mind, its expected that a list of the rapper's accomplices will soon be revealed.

Buzbee has said the 'long list' will 'shock' a lot of people, with the lawyer saying during a recent 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."

He went on to say that due to the nature of the case, they will not be releasing the names on the list until they're 'damn sure' that they're right.

Diddy will remain in jail until his trial date - which is yet to be set.

The rapper offered $50 million bail package in exchange for him to be placed under house arrest at his Florida mansion, but this was denied by a judge.

A second bail request from Diddy's team was also denied.
