Sean \u201cDiddy\u201d Combs<\/a> has been sued by another John Doe who claims that the incarcerated hip-hop mogul drugged and assaulted him.<\/p>\n

The new lawsuit was filed in New York County Supreme Court on Feb. 3 by Texas-based lawyer Tony Buzbee, who has been behind a number of suits<\/a> brought against Diddy<\/a> over the past year.<\/p>\n

The new suit concerns an as-yet-unnamed aspiring male singer, who claims he was drugged and sexually assaulted by Diddy in 2015. The man, who is suing Diddy for sexual battery, is seeking a series of damages to address the physical and emotional distress he allegedly suffered. He is seeking an amount to be determined at trial.<\/p>\n

Ten years ago, the then-23-year-old aspiring rapper and singer was scheduled to open for a popular music artist at a series of Los Angeles nightclubs, including QC\u2019s 20\/20, in Montebello, Calif., according to court documents<\/a>.

Prior to his performance, Doe was told that Diddy would be in attendance and \u201chad heard of his talent and would be watching him perform.\u201d He also claims that he was told if his performance went well, Diddy would consider signing Doe to his label, Bad Boy Records, and offer \u201cstudio time with Combs himself.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe conduct described herein is shockingly typical of how defendant Sean Combs conducted himself for many years,\u201d the lawsuit reads. \u201cSean Combs believed he was above the law. He is not.\u201d<\/p>\n

Doe alleges that Diddy\u2019s assault took place at an after-party in Los Angeles following his performance. The suit claims that many other well-known entertainers were partaking in drugs and one of Diddy\u2019s associates handed Doe a drink made with the rapper\u2019s vodka brand C\u00eeroc. He claims he was told to drink it and that it was from Diddy. After drinking the beverage, Doe \u201cquickly felt lightheaded\u201d and lost consciousness, according to the suit.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhile drifting in and out of consciousness, Doe observed Combs and his entourage engaging in group sexual activity, often with other attendees who appeared either drugged, unconscious, or as if they were paid escorts,\u201d the lawsuit reads.<\/p>\n

Later, Doe reportedly woke up \u201cfrom a physical jolt\u201d and found his pants had been removed and alleges that Diddy was groping him. The filing also states that Doe believed Diddy had been performing oral sex on him during the alleged encounter.<\/p>\n

When Doe reportedly attempted to reject Diddy\u2019s sexual advances, the record producer allegedly threatened him, saying he could \u201ceasily contact his manager and ruin any chances he had of succeeding in the music industry.\u201d<\/p>\n
