Elon Musk has found himself in controversy again by claiming that rapper Eminem attended parties hosted by music executive Sean “Diddy” Combs, who is facing serious criminal charges including allegations of sexual abuse and orchestrating drug-fueled gatherings. These allegations against Combs emerged last month, accusing him of exploiting women through threats and coercion.

What charges does Diddy face?

Sean Combs, commonly known as “Diddy,” was arrested last month on sex trafficking and racketeering charges. Lawyers for the alleged victims have stated that many celebrities were regulars at Diddy’s infamous parties.

The allegations against Diddy have been mounting since last year, when singer Cassie accused him of subjecting her to more than a decade of abuse, including drug coercion and an alleged rape in 2018. Diddy has denied the allegations and will appear in court in May. 2025.

How did Eminem fans react?

In response to Musk’s comments, Eminem’s fanbase quickly defended the rapper, pointing out that Eminem has long been critical of Diddy. “Em (Eminem) was never there and has always been against Diddy. Do your research Elon,” one fan posted on X. Another added that Eminem’s disses against Diddy date back to the 1990s.

There is speculation that Eminem’s latest album, ‘The Death of Slim Shady’, will feature even more digs at Diddy.
