As Sean “Diddy” Combs ’ ongoing legal drama continues, the rapper is currently having a resurgence with his music. According to the website Chartmetric , data shows that Diddy’s numbers on music streaming services are increasing. Diddy, 54, currently has 1.
79 million followers on Spotify. His page has averaged 13.33 million monthly listeners.
There has also been a slight uptick in Diddy’s numbers on Amazon Music and Soundcloud. Diddy is currently experiencing a “growth” in momentum, per Chartmetric. His numbers on social media apps including TikTok and Facebook have also grown.
Not every platform is showing increased numbers. Despite the climb in streaming data, Diddy is also facing a decline on Pandora and Deezer. In September, Diddy was arrested and indicted on charges of sex trafficking and racketeering.
According to the 14-page indictment , the music mogul was accused of abusing, threatening and coercing women “to fulfill his sexual desires, protect his reputation and conceal his conduct.” Diddy has pleaded not guilty to the charges and his attorney Marc Agnifilo defended his client in a statement provided to Us Weekly at the time. “We are disappointed with the decision to pursue what we believe is an unjust prosecution of Mr.
Combs by the U.S. Attorney’s Office,” Agnifilo said in the statement, adding that, “He is an imperfect person, but he is not a criminal.
To his credit Mr. Combs has been nothing but cooperative with this investigation and he voluntarily relocated to New York last week in anticipation of these charges. Please reserve your judgment until you have all the facts.
These are the acts of an innocent man with nothing to hide, and he looks forward to clearing his name in court.” Diddy remains behind bars at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn. He was denied bail, despite filing three different appeals .
He will remain in prison until his trial which is currently scheduled for May 5, 2025. In addition to the federal charges, Diddy is also facing lawsuits from multiple victims claiming they had been abused by him in the past. NBC News reported on Sunday, October 20, five new sexual assault and rape lawsuits were filed against Diddy.
One of the alleged victims claimed that the incident occurred when she was 13 years old. Earlier this month, six additional lawsuits were filed against Diddy accusing him of rape and sexual assault. The suits were filed anonymously by two unidentified women and four unidentified men in Manhattan, per docs obtained by Us .
One of the allegations Diddy faces is that he molested a 16-year-old boy. You have successfully subscribed.

All of the events occurred in New York and are being filed pursuant to the Victims of Gender-Motivated Violence Protection Act,” lead counsel Tony Buzbee shared in an October 14 statement to Us . “Four of the alleged victims in these cases are male, two are female. One was sixteen at the time of the alleged occurrences.
We will let the allegations in the filed complaints speak for themselves, and will work to see that justice is done. We expect to be filing many more cases over the next several weeks naming Mr. Combs and others as defendants as we continue to gather evidence and prepare the filings.
” Diddy’s lawyers responded with a statement hours later, writing, “The press conference and 1-800 number that preceded today’s barrage of filings were clear attempts to garner publicity. Mr. Combs and his legal team have full confidence in the facts, their legal defenses, and the integrity of the judicial process.
In court, the truth will prevail: that Mr. Combs has never sexually assaulted anyone—adult or minor, man or woman.” If you or someone you know has been sexually assaulted, contact the National Sexual Assault Hotline at 1-800-656-HOPE (4673).
