Diddy’s annual “Sean Diddy Combs Day” in his Miami Beach residence has been cancelled in light of the growing number of abuse claims made against the business mogul.
The Miami Beach Commission formally rescinded a proclamation designating October 13, 2016, as his day, according to an article published in the Miami Herald on Friday, June 28. He first celebrated October 13, 2016, by hosting the third annual REVOLT Music Conference in the Florida city.
“After careful consideration, the Mayor and City Commission have decided that honoring October 13, 2016, as “Sean Diddy Combs Day” is no longer consistent with the City’s core values of community well-being, safety, and respect. Therefore, they would like to revoke the proclamation,” the resolution reads.
Similar events occurred in New York, Diddy’s hometown, earlier this month when Mayor Eric Adams revoked his city key.
On June 15, two letters were received by TMZ; one was addressed to Combs Entertainment LLC’s New York office, and the other to his Los Angeles office. Mayor Adams, who expressed his “deeply disturbed” feelings about the Cassie video, kindly forwarded them to Diddy.
In the letter, Adams stated that he supports victims of domestic abuse and explained how the key is used to honor exceptional individuals. The mayor pointed out that the Bad Boy mogul was no longer eligible.
Diddy might return the key to the address given by the New York City chief. This is the first time a major decision in the Big Apple has been reversed.
According to reports, Diddy got the letter on June 4 and returned the honor on June 10.
When the NYC Mayor spoke with PIX11 in May and was questioned about the startling video that surfaced of Puffy beating Cassie, rumors of the major withdrawal started to circulate.
When asked if he and his administration would be able to remove Diddy’s key to New York City, which Adams gave him at a ceremony in Times Square last September, the mayor replied that they were thinking about it.
“I believe that watching that terrifying video of the young lady being attacked by him deeply disturbed all of us,” he remarked. “We’ve never revoked a key before, committee and team, but we’re sitting down to see what the next steps forward are going to be.”
Adams said, “We are taking everything under analysis and the team will come back [to] me with a final determination,” in response to a follow-up, more direct question about whether he was thinking about withdrawing the honor.
