Diddy has found himself removed from a prestigious law firm’s roster at the behest of fellow artist Lady Gaga.
A Friday report from NewsNation disclosed that Grubman, Shire, Meiselas & Sacks complied with requests from the renowned “Poker Face” artist.
An anonymous source shared, “Lady Gaga was adamant about leaving the firm unless they severed ties with Diddy. Given her stature, they couldn’t afford to lose her.”
This appears to be the latest in a series of setbacks for Diddy.
Earlier in the week, reports surfaced that Miami Beach had decided to retract “Sean Diddy Combs Day,” amid growing abuse allegations against him.
The Miami Beach Commission withdrew the October 13, 2016, tribute, initially put in place to honor his contributions to the REVOLT Music Conference, stating it contradicted the city’s core values of safety, community, and respect.
Similarly, New York City revoked Diddy’s key to the city earlier this month, as decided by Mayor Eric Adams, after unsettling footage emerged of Diddy and Cassie.
TMZ revealed that Mayor Adams sent letters expressing his disturbance over the video, highlighting that the key to the city honors exemplary citizens, a criterion Diddy no longer meets.
Adams provided directions for the key’s return, marking a historic first for New York City. Diddy complied, returning the key shortly after receiving the mayor’s letter.
In related news, following these controversies, Diddy was replaced by Jadakiss on the ‘It’s All About The Benjamins’ AI ‘No Diddy’ Remix.
The prospect of revoking Diddy’s key first came to light in May during a discussion between Mayor Adams and PIX11, fueled by the widespread shock at the video depicting Diddy’s altercation with Cassie. Adams conveyed the community’s and his personal disturbance at the footage, indicating a potential unprecedented revocation of the city’s honor.
