The U.S. Homeland Security Investigations Bureau has made public the indictment exposing Diddy’s crimes. Accordingly, Diddy and members of the Combs Enterprise group, including senior supervisors, security officers, family staff and personal assistants, are accused of organizing multiple Freak Offs – gatherings of sex and drug use.

In addition, Diddy is also suspected of controlling his victims in many ways, including physical violence, promising career opportunities, threatening to cut off financial support, and other coercive measures, including monitoring their whereabouts and medical records, providing them with addictive substances…

The rap star is currently being held in a New York jail. Diddy was denied bail despite being willing to pay $50 million. Diddy’s next trial date has not yet been set.

Before his arrest, Diddy was an influential star in the American entertainment industry, contributing to the global popularity of hip-hop music. The male rapper won 3 Grammy Awards and had close relationships with many stars in the world entertainment industry.

Diddy’s house parties have been attended by many A-list stars such as: Jay-Z, Beyoncé, Mariah Carey, Jennifer Lopez, Usher…

According to international media, suspicions about Diddy’s tumultuous life have existed for many years, but only now have the rap star’s crimes been investigated.

When Diddy was arrested, the stars who had a special and long-standing relationship with the male singer were also quickly “named” and received special attention from the public. Among them, the couple Jay-Z and Beyoncé Knowles received great attention from the public.

Beyoncé and Jay-Z have had a long-standing relationship with Diddy. In a short time, images of Beyoncé and her husband with “boss” Diddy at events and parties were continuously shared on social networks. The female singer known as the “queen bee” suddenly lost 5 million followers on Instagram.

Before Diddy’s scandal, Beyoncé had 320 million Instagram followers, now that number is down to 315 million. Her husband Jay-Z also dropped from 4.4 million followers to 929,000.

Underneath many Diddy-related posts on social media and in international media, Beyoncé and Jay-Z were also constantly mentioned. When the rap star was arrested on September 16, Jay-Z deleted all of his posts on social media network X (formerly Twitter).

According to Page Six, Beyoncé and Diddy are said to be members of a secret society that includes many high-ranking figures, tycoons, aristocrats and celebrities. They are said to have influence in the American entertainment industry, dominating many areas such as business, media, production…

In response to questions from the American media, Beyoncé and Jay-Z did not comment.

Diddy is said to be a factor in helping Beyoncé reach diva status.

According to People, Diddy is considered one of the pillars that helped Beyoncé’s career become as successful as it is today. The black beauty was born and raised in Texas (USA). She was a member of the girl group Destiny’s Child before becoming the world’s top female singer.

Of the members of Destiny’s Child, Beyoncé had the most successful solo career after the group disbanded. She has sold over 200 million records worldwide as a solo artist, and over 60 million records as a member of Destiny’s Child.

These numbers make Beyoncé one of the best-selling artists of all time. Billboard ranked her 37th on its list of the greatest artists of all time.

The Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) recognized her as the Top Certified Artist of the 2000s. In 2009, Billboard named her the Top Radio Songs Artist of the Decade.

Time magazine listed her among the 100 most influential people in the world in 2013 and 2014. Forbes also named her the most powerful woman in entertainment in 2015.

In 2016, Beyoncé appeared at number six on Forbes’ Person of the Year list. She is also the artist with the most Grammy Awards in music history with 32 different major and minor awards.

Forbes estimates Beyoncé’s net worth as of May is around $760 million. Her Renaissance World Tour grossed $579 million in ticket sales, making her the highest-grossing black touring artist in music history.

However, since 2014, the couple has been constantly facing rumors of a rift. Jay-Z has been suspected of having an affair. However, the two artists have faced the pressure by appearing happy together, taking care of their children, and accompanying each other on the path to building their careers.

At the 2024 Grammy Awards, Jay-Z affirmed that his wife is a great artist. He said: “I don’t want to embarrass this beautiful young lady. She has won more Grammys than anyone but has never won Album of the Year. Think about it, won the most Grammys but has never won the big thing, Album of the Year.”
