Eminem criticizes Diddy’s allegations of sexual harassment and abuse in three new songs

Eminem criticizes Diddy’s allegations of sexual harassment and abuse in three new songs

Eminem has a much about the numerous sexual assault lawsuits against Sean “Diddy” Combs.

The 51-year-old rapper addressed the music mogul’s numerous recent allegations and alleged assaults at least three times on his new album. The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grâce)which was released on Friday, July 12th.

On the album track “Fuel” featuring JID, Eminem focuses on the allegations made by Combs, 54, with lyrics like “I’m like a RAPER (Yeah) / Got so many S-As (S-As), S-As / Wait, he didn’t just spell the word, ‘Rapper’ and leave out a P, did he? (Yep),” as a play on words dissing the music mogul – who is currently facing multiple rape and assault lawsuits. Diddy has denied all allegations.

The Grammy winner then quoted the late Notorious BIG and Tupac Shakur, while also mentioning Combs’ alleged role in his murder in 1996. “RIP, rest in peace, Biggie / And Pac, you two should be alive (yeah) / But I don’t want no fight with him (nah) / ‘Cause maybe he’ll kill me like Keefe D killed him.”

In October 2023, Duane “Keefe D” Davis was arrested in connection with Shakur’s shooting death in Las Vegas after the case remained unsolved for nearly 27 years. In the past, Davis claimed that Combs offered him money to carry out an assassination attempt on the late rap star, but the latter has vehemently denied any involvement in the murder over the years.

Eminem had already claimed in 2018 in his diss track “Killshot”, which was directed against Machine Gun Kelly, that Combs was involved in Shakur’s murder. He raps: “But, Kells, the day you commit murder is the day Diddy admits he committed the murder that killed Pac.”

Eminem fired more shots at Combs on his new album, with songs like “Bad One” – which references the claim that the producer allegedly blew up Kid Cudi’s car in 2012 – and “Antichrist” – which references the footage that surfaced showing Casandra “Cassie” Ventura being attacked by her ex Combs in a Los Angeles hotel in 2016.

“The next idiot that asks me out is gonna get his ass kicked even more than Diddy did,” he raps, seemingly censoring Cassie’s name, “but seriously (What?) / She probably ran out the room with his damn dildo (Come here) / He tried to kick her a field goal and she told her to chill out (Nope).”

Eminem’s biting lyrics against Combs arrive on the same day The New York Times published a report by the former Vibe Magazine Editor-in-Chief Danyel Smith, in which she recalled that she was allegedly threatened by the mogul in 1997 because of a dispute over the front page.

After Combs repeatedly asked to see advance prints of his double cover and declined those requests, Smith said that Combs told her in a phone call that he would see her “dead in the trunk of a car.” After threatening him with legal action, the editor claimed that the producer faxed an apology within hours of being contacted by her personal attorney. (Combs did not immediately respond to PEOPLE’s request for comment.)

In addition to these allegations, Combs faces another lawsuit alleging that he sexually harassed and sexually trafficked former porn star Adria English for years during “white parties” at his residences in the Hamptons, New York and Miami. The court filing, obtained by PEOPLE, also names companies that English says facilitated the parties, including Bad Boy Entertainment Holdings, Inc. Vibe Magazine and Penske Media Corporation (PMC).

Combs’ attorney Jonathan Davis told PEOPLE in a statement: “No matter how many lawsuits are filed, it will not change the fact that Mr. Combs has never sexually harassed anyone or been a victim of sex trafficking.”

The attorney added: “We live in a world where anyone can file a lawsuit for any reason and without evidence. Fortunately, there is a fair and impartial legal process to find out the truth, and Mr. Combs is confident that he will prevail in court against these and other baseless claims.”
