Miami Beach Commission rescinds ‘Sean Diddy Combs Day’

The city of Miami Beach has retracted its decision to dedicate a day to music mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs following recent legal troubles and abuse accusations.

A resolution from June 26 by Miami Beach’s mayor and city commission rescinded the proclamation designating October 13 as ‘Sean Diddy Combs Day.’

The now-revoked holiday was initially established in October 2016 by then-Mayor Philip Levine to honor Combs, a Miami Beach resident. The move by commissioners is the latest fallout from a series of sexual assault lawsuits filed against the 54-year-old music mogul.

Controversy surrounding Combs intensified last month when CNN released a 2016 surveillance video showing him assaulting his ex-girlfriend, R&B singer Cassie Ventura, in a hotel hallway. In response to the video, Combs stated that he began therapy and rehab following the incident.
