Bad Boy Records founder Sean “Diddy” Combs, 54, has deleted his entire Instagram feed, including his apology to Cassie Ventura in May, which he posted after it was revealed he assaulted the “Me & U” singer.
This comes amid his ongoing legal troubles and his 19.9 million followers are now curious to know what his next move will be.
Diddy’s Instagram bio still reads, “Listen to The Love Album: Off The Grid” and also features a link to the Grammy-nominated album.
Talking about the music mogul’s other social media handles, Diddy has not updated his X profile since February 4. Yet his handle remains active. While his Threads account remains accessible to his fans, he has not been active on the platform since August 2023.
The move comes just weeks after he skipped the prom of his 17-year-old twin daughters, Jessie and D’Lila, in May.
Between Ventura’s lawsuit and the release of the security footage, Combs is also facing a massive $30 million lawsuit from music producer Lil Rod and multiple other sexual assault lawsuits from various individuals.
Former model April Lampros filed the most recent lawsuit against Diddy, claiming he drugged and raped her while she was a student at the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York City.
Combs has consistently denied allegations of wrongdoing.

Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs apologizes for physically assaulting Cassie Ventura in 2016
Public anger against Diddy has been growing since disturbing surveillance footage from 2016 was made public in May, showing the rapper kicking, dragging and throwing an object at his ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura in a hallway at the InterContinental Hotel in Los Angeles. According to CNN, the hotel is currently on lockdown.
CNN obtained and released violent footage from March 5, 2016, that appeared to corroborate many of the claims made in Ventura’s lawsuit against Combs.
In the video, Ventura can be seen walking down a hallway toward an elevator while Combs, wearing a towel, follows her. He kicks her repeatedly, then throws her to the ground and drags her down the hallway. However, she manages to free herself. He then throws a vase at Ventura.
After the video was released, Diddy apologized on Instagram, admitting he was caught in the footage. He said, “My behavior in that video is inexcusable.”
Taking full responsibility for his actions in a video posted on Instagram, he said: “I was disgusted when I did it and I’m disgusted now.” He said, without specifically mentioning Ventura, that he needs therapy and rehabilitation.
