(NewsNation) — Sean “Diddy” Combs has been accused by music journalist Touré of terminating an internship from Touré’s relative after the intern allegedly declined Combs’ sexual advance to “come home with him.” 

Touré, who has covered Diddy and his artists throughout his career, said he reached out to the Bad Boy founder in hopes of securing an internship for his relative, and Combs agreed.

Touré’s relative stopped working with Diddy a few months after the internship started after Diddy allegedly threatened, “Either come home with me tonight, or the internship is over.”

“This is horrific. How do you treat people like that, especially family of media, (people) who could easily get on media and talk about this?” Touré said Friday on “CUOMO.”

Touré also said Diddy has allegedly been dealing with drug abuse for 15 years: “He’s been dealing with a world where he’s surrounded by enablers.”

“Many people have told me that he’s drugged them or drugged people around him that they saw. He really liked drugging people. Incapacitating them through drugs.”

The federal investigation against Combs has turned up several disturbing allegations against the music mogul, who is currently sitting in a New York City jail awaiting his day in court. 

The music producer was indicted last week on three felony charges after months of speculation surrounding a possible federal investigation that could be connected to a slew of civil lawsuits alleging abuse and sexual assault by multiple victims spanning over 30 years. 

Since the indictment, several high-profile voices have spoken out against Combs, and another alleged victim has come forward, bringing the 11th lawsuit filed against him. 

Following his arrest, Combs’ attorney, Marc Agnifilo, issued a statement asking the public to reserve judgment until all the facts are in and noting that Combs has cooperated with the investigation.

“He is an imperfect person, but he is not a criminal,” he said.
