Aubrey O’Day, a former member of the musical group Danity Kane, has made striking allegations against Sean “Diddy” Combs, her former boss and a prominent figure in the music industry.
What are the specific allegations Aubrey O’Day made against Diddy?
In the documentary, TMZ Presents: The Downfall of Diddy, O’Day claims that Combs attempted to silence her with a publishing deal that offered little compensation and required her to waive any claims against him and other associated parties.
According to the 40-year-old singer, the offer from Diddy was a ploy to keep her quiet, with the contract stipulating a mere $300.30 in exchange for her silence on any issues related to Diddy and other influential figures.
She expressed her realisation that accepting such a deal would not only be financially inadequate but would also strip her of the right to share her experiences or pursue any claims.
“It asked me specifically to stay silent and never speak poorly about a human. So then I realized, something really bad is coming,” she said.
This controversy extends beyond O’Day.
The R&B group B5, also previously signed to Bad Boy Records, publicly voiced their concerns about not receiving their publishing rights as promised by Combs during an appearance on the We In Miami podcast, in late 2023.
The group, consisting of five brothers, lamented the lack of communication from Combs and expressed a desire to regain control over their musical works.
What does this mean for Diddy?
These allegations come at a time when Diddy is already facing multiple legal challenges, including accusations of sexual assault and involvement in other serious allegations.
His legal team is actively working to dismiss parts of a civil suit related to these accusations due to the disputable nature of the claims against him.
Meanwhile, Combs continues to deny any wrongdoing in these matters.
