Sean “Diddy” Combs has declined an invite to attend the 2024 Grammy Awards despite nabbing a Grammy nomination in the best progressive R&B album category for “The Love Album: Off the Grid.”
Diddy’s new project, The Love Album, features top artists like Justin Bieber, 21 Savage, The Weeknd, John Legend, Mary J. Blige, Herb Alpert, H.E.R., Jazmine Sullivan, Kehlani, Burna Boy, Summer Walker, Ty Dolla $ign, Teyana Taylor, Babyface, Busta Rhymes, Coco Jones and more. The Love Album also boasts production from industry heavyweights including Stevie J, Timbaland, London on da Track, Metro Boomin, D’Mile, the Stereotypes, Nova Wav, and more.
Combs has faced a series of lawsuits accusing him of sexual assault and rape. Following the allegations, one of which ended in a multi-million dollar settlement to his ex-girlfriend.
On Nov. 16, Combs was sued in federal court by his ex-girlfriend and former Bad Boy artist, Cassie Ventura. Ventura accused him of rape and repeated physical assault and sex trafficking. Despite denying the allegations, Combs settled the lawsuit within 24 hours. Less than a week later, Joi Dickerson-Neal accused Combs of drugging and sexually assaulting her in 1991 while she was a college student. Dickerson-Neal alleges that he filmed the attack and showed the footage to individuals in the industry. The following day, on Nov. 24., Rolling Stone reported that an unidentified woman had filed a third lawsuit, accusing Combs and singer Aaron Hall of raping her and her friend.
That month, it was announced that Combs had “temporarily” stepped down as chairman of Revolt. Combs co-founded the company in 2013 alongside Andy Schuon.
“Our focus has always been one that reflects our commitment to the collective journey of REVOLT — one that is not driven by any individual, but by the shared efforts and values of our entire team on behalf of advancing, elevating and championing our culture — and that continues,” the company said.
Combs denies all of the allegations against him.
