American music mogul Sean Puffy Combs popularly known in music circles as Puff Daddy has denied s3xually assaulting and drugging a woman following a date in 1991.
The three-time Grammy award-winning rapper and producer refuted the claim through a spokesperson after a lawsuit filed in a New York court on Thursday, Nov. 23, accused him of drugging and s3xually assaulting a university student 12-years ago.
The lawsuit alleged that Diddy intentionally assaulted the victim identified as Joi Dickerson-Neal, who was a Syracuse University student visiting New York City at the time of the alleged incident.

However, a spokesperson for Diddy said Ms Dickerson-Neal’s story is “made up and not credible,” and that the rapper never assaulted her.
“This is purely a money grab and nothing more,” the spokesperson said in an email.
The complaint against Diddy comes a week after he settled a lawsuit by his former girlfriend, R&B singer Cassandra Ventura.
