Sean “Diddy” Combs has been facing accusations of sexual misconduct, with multiple lawsuits filed against him. In response to these allegations, he posted a seemingly defiant video on Instagram, featuring a scene from his 1998 song “Victory” where he is seen running from Los Angeles police. The caption “Bad Boy for life” and a fist emoji were also included in the post. His son, Christian Combs, who is facing his own sexual assault lawsuit, commented with support, along with other artists like Ginuwine and Lil Scrappy. The video had received 200,000 likes by Saturday morning.
The music video for “Victory” was directed by Marcus Nispel and featured appearances by Dennis Hopper and Danny DeVito, as well as Busta Rhymes and the Notorious B.I.G. The video was inspired by “The Running Man” and showcased Combs evading police throughout its seven minutes. The release of this video is likely in response to the five lawsuits alleging sexual misconduct that have been filed against Combs. He has denied all the accusations through statements made by his attorneys. The lawsuits began with R&B singer Cassie filing a suit on November 16, where she described Combs as a “serial domestic abuser.”
In addition to the lawsuit filed by Cassie, another complaint was made in December alleging that Combs had gang-raped a 17-year-old girl in 2003. The plaintiff, known as Jane Doe, claimed that Combs was involved in a “sex trafficking scheme” as he flew her to New York from Michigan on a private jet. Combs has vehemently denied all the allegations of sexual misconduct, and the second lawsuit is still ongoing. The initial suit filed by Cassie was resolved the day after it was filed, with both parties agreeing to settle on amicable terms. The video release and caption on Instagram could be seen as Combs’ way of addressing and responding to the lawsuits against him.
