The music industry is once again in the eye of the storm, as producer and rapper Sean Combs, known as P. Diddy, faces serious accusations of sexual assault. Ashley Parham has filed a lawsuit that, according to legal documents obtained by Page Six, claims that she was the victim of assaults in 2018 by Diddy and other men, after suggesting that the rapper was connected to the murder of Tupac Shakur . This case not only reopens old wounds in the world of hip-hop, but also raises disturbing questions about the culture of power and abuse in the industry.
Parham’s complaint, which has been filed in court in California, recounts an incident that occurred in March 2018, where, after initial contact via FaceTime with Diddy the woman found herself in a dangerous situation. The indictment, which includes a request for $50 million in damages, details a series of threats and physical and sexual assaults by Combs and his companions. The connection with the legacy of Tupac a rap icon murdered in 1996, adds an additional layer of complexity to this case, which has attracted media and public attention.
P.Diddy accused of sexual abuse and linked to Tupac’s death
According to legal documents, Parham met up with a friend at a bar in 2018. During this date, the man claimed to know Diddy and contacted him via FaceTime to corroborate their friendship. During the conversation, Parham suggested that Diddy had some connection with the murder of Tupac which, according to his testimony, provoked the fury of the music mogul. Parham’s friend later invited her to his home under the pretense that she needed help with medication, but the encounter turned terrifying when Diddy appeared on the scene.

The complaint details that, in this encounter, Parham was subjected to a physical and sexual attack, where Diddy and other men attacked her. Kristina Khorram, a consultant Diddy allegedly witnessed the attacks, and although he tried to stop some of the physical attacks, his attitude was seen as an attempt at manipulation, suggesting that they could “sell” Parham after the incident. This testimony not only highlights the seriousness of the accusations, but also suggests an environment of complicity and cover-up.
Legal consequences and repercussions
The incident left Parham vulnerable, and after the assaults, Diddy and the other men left the room, allowing him to attempt an escape. However, before fleeing, Parham confronted Diddy who was apparently surprised to see her awake, given that he would have supplied her with drugs. Combs in an attempt to silence Parham, threatened her and her family with serious consequences if she decided to go to the police. The situation escalated further when, according to the lawsuit, the mother of Diddy Janice became involved, trying to protect her son during this tense confrontation.

Parham’s allegations are framed within a broader context that has surrounded P. Diddy in recent years, where the issue of abuse of power and sexual assault has come to light with greater frequency in the entertainment industry. This case could be one more in a series of legal challenges the rapper has faced, as his public image comes under intense scrutiny.
