AceShowbiz - Facing mounting accusations and leaked footage of alleged assault, P. Diddy's hold on the key to New York City faces scrutiny, with fans calling for boycotts and Nas emerging as a possible replacement.
Diddy has been embroiled in numerous lawsuits alleging decades of misconduct, including a recent claim of drugging and sexually assaulting a model. Leaked hotel security footage obtained by CNN seemingly corroborates claims made by model Cassie in a lawsuit filed last year.
Amidst the escalating controversy, pressure has grown to revoke Diddy's key to the city, which he received in 2022. Peloton has removed his music from classes, while both fans and government officials have urged the city to rescind the honor.
Nas, an iconic figure in New York hip-hop, has been suggested as a potential replacement for Diddy. Nas' prolific recent work includes six albums released across four years with producer Hit-Boy, concluding with "Magic 2" and "Magic 3" in 2022.
Despite the allegations against Diddy, Nas continues to represent New York City. He has recently showcased his luxurious Tribeca condo, valued at $16.5k per month, and announced a special orchestra show in Las Vegas to commemorate the 30th anniversary of his landmark album, "Illmatic".
It remains uncertain whether Diddy will lose the key to the city, but the calls for revocation and Nas' potential emergence as a replacement candidate highlight the heightened scrutiny surrounding the alleged misconduct of a once-venerated figure in New York hip-hop.
