Socialites, listen up: Eric Adams has joined the conversation surrounding the disturbing video depicting Sean “Diddy” Combs assaulting his ex-girlfriend, Cassie Ventura, back in 2016.
In an interview with local station Pix11 News, the Mayor expressed that his administration is thoroughly evaluating the situation and examining all possible courses of action. This includes the possibility of revoking Diddy’s key to the city.
In response to the question of whether he would revoke Diddy’s key to the city, Adams expressed his deep concern over the disturbing video showing the young lady’s assault by him. While the committee and the team have never rescinded a key before, they are currently discussing the next course of action.
Last year on Friday (Sept. 15), Diddy was bestowed with the keys to New York City, coinciding with the release of his first studio album in 17 years. The Mayor commended him as “the embodiment of the New York City attitude.” Having grown up in Harlem, Diddy’s journey to success exemplifies the quintessential New Yorker spirit. He has not only achieved remarkable musical accomplishments as a performer and producer but has also remained grounded, never forgetting his roots.
Eric Adams mentioned that he and his team will carefully consider and evaluate all the factors before making a final decision on this matter. At the moment, there is no specific timeline for when they will reach a conclusion.
Diddy Speaks Out and Takes Full Responsibility After Cassie Hotel Assault Video: “I Hit Rock Bottom, I’m Truly Sorry”
The key to the city, although symbolic in nature, does not possess the ability to unlock any doors or grant access. Among the distinguished individuals who have received this honorary key are the Women’s National Soccer Team, the late Harry Belafonte, a remarkable performer and civil rights activist, and the late Detective Luis Alvarez, a fervent advocate for 9/11 first-responders.
More On Diddy’s Legal Problems:
Following the release of the video, Diddy, who is currently being investigated by federal authorities and facing multiple allegations of abuse and sexual assault, has publicly expressed remorse for his actions.
In a video statement posted on Instagram and Facebook, the music mogul expressed his remorse and took full responsibility for his actions in that video. He acknowledged feeling disgusted both at the time he made the video and now.
The future of Diddy’s career, reputation, and the key to the city hangs in the balance as the committee continues to deliberate.
