In explosive new claims, an additional 120 individuals have accused rapper Sean 'Diddy' Combs of sexual abuse spanning 25 years, with some of the victims being minors, including a 9-year-old.
The accusations were brought forward by Texas attorney Tony Buzbee, who announced that he is representing these 120 new victims, believing they have valid cases against the rapper-turned-media mogul.
Out of the 120 new victims, 25 were minors at the time the alleged abuse took place, with incidents occurring between 1991 and as recently as this year, according to Buzbee.
The youngest victims were 9, 14, 15 when they were victimized, the high-profile lawyer announced at a press conference in Houston Tuesday.
“This individual, who was 9 years old at the time, was taken to an audition in New York City with Bad Boy Records,” the attorney disclosed.
“This individual was sexually abused allegedly by Sean Combs and several other people at the studio in the promise to both his parents and to him himself of getting a record deal.”
Combs established Bad Boy Records in 1993, a label that helped launch the careers of artists like Notorious B.I.G., French Montana, and Machine Gun Kelly.
“Other boys were there to audition as well,' Buzbee stated. 'All of them were trying to land a record deal. All of them were minors.”
Diddy's legal team responded to the latest allegations soon after Buzbee made them public.
“Mr. Combs emphatically and categorically denies as false and defamatory any claim that he sexually abused anyone, including minors,” Combs' lawyer Erica Wolff told DailyMail.com.
“He looks forward to proving his innocence and vindicating himself in court, where the truth will be established based on evidence, not speculation.”
Buzbee claimed that the promise of fame was used to manipulate several child victims.
“Another minor told allegedly by Sean Combs that he would make him a star, but he needed to visit with him in private about it away from his parents. Once they were in private area, allegedly Mr. Combs made the victim perform oral sex upon him,” Buzbee said.
Since federal prosecutors announced Diddy's federal indictment and his arrest last week, Buzbee's law firm has been inundated with thousands of new accusations.
“An individual, 15 years old at the time, flown to New York City to attend a party was drugged and then taken into a private room allegedly in the presence of Mr. Combs where this female individual-- minor-- was raped and then other individuals took turns raping her,” Buzbee detailed.
The attorney, in collaboration with law enforcement, stated that many non-credible claims have been filtered out, but at least 120 potential new victims are expected to file individual lawsuits against Diddy and possibly other perpetrators.
Many have medical records that prove they had been raped or drugged, Buzbee continued.
“Drugs were found in their system-- weird drugs, drugs that you probably never heard of,” the lawyer explained.
“One in particular that continues to pop up is a drug called Xylazine, or tranq, which based on our research is known as a horse tranquilizer.”
