On September 17, 2024, entertainment mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs was arrested at the Park Hyatt New York Hotel. From here, the dark curtain of the American music industry was brought to light. The 54-year-old rapper – who owns a billion-dollar business empire with the Bad Boy record label that dominates the music industry – was charged with serious crimes. The 14-page indictment was released, with Diddy facing numerous suspicions from sex trafficking, rape, kidnapping and abuse.

The Hip-hop mogul’s case has drawn in countless A-list names. Jay-Z, Beyoncé, Rihanna, Jennifer Lopez, Usher, The Weeknd, Janelle Monáe, Queen Latifah, Snoop Dogg… were named one after another. Justin Bieber has caused the world to grieve as his past abuse has been gradually explained in his music. It wasn’t until Diddy was arrested that people could hear the pop prince’s cry for help.

The “long as a scroll” drama shocked the public. Once again, the dark side of the music industry was exposed. Behind the glitz, the billion-dollar MVs, and the world-famous albums were exchanges that pushed artists to the brink. Diddy organized sex parties that lasted for days while in a drug-intoxicated state, called “Freak Offs”. The music mogul used his entertainment empire to lure victims, both male and female, and even minors, into a “trap” with no way out.
