(NewsNation) — P. Diddy has lost the honorary ‘Sean Diddy Combs Day’ once proclaimed by the Miami Beach Commission in light of a turbulent few months.
Diddy has been leveled with several sexual misconduct and assault allegations, in addition to his Los Angeles and Miami homes being raided on March 25 by Homeland Security.
In May, CNN released footage of Diddy beating his ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura in a hotel hallway in 2016. Diddy later apologized for the incident in the aftermath.
A resolution from Wednesday revealed the city commission and mayor, Steven Meiner, were rescinding the proclaim as it is “no longer in harmony with the City’s values of safety, community well-being, and respect.”
Diddy, also known by his legal name, Sean Combs, was given the honor in 2016 – with October 13 known to be ‘Sean Diddy Combs Day’, in recognition of his contribution to the music industry and bringing his REVOLT Music Conference to Miami Beach.
Where Diddy is now is unclear, although he was last seen publicly three days after the raid at Topgolf in Miami. NewsNation affiliate WPIX reported the raid was part of an ongoing sex trafficking investigation.
While he has not been arrested or charged, Dana Kennedy of the New York Post said in a March interview on “NewsNation Prime” that her Homeland Security sources indication the investigation into Combs is “the tip of the iceberg.”
Diddy’s attorney Aaron Dyer said on the day following the raid that it “is nothing more than a witch-hunt based on meritless accusations made in civil lawsuits.”
While much is unclear about Diddy’s future, those who have previously celebrated him have disassociated themselves in recent months.
New York City mayor, Eric Adams, requested that Diddy return his key to the city following the release of footage of him assaulting Ventura. The mogul obliged last month.
Similarly, Howard University retracted his honorary degree and a scholarship program in his name for the same reason.
