Sean "Diddy" Combs has deleted all of his Instagram posts, including an apology video addressing assault allegations made by his ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura. The move comes as the music mogul faces multiple lawsuits accusing him of sexual misconduct and other illegal activities.
Sean "Diddy" Combs has wiped his Instagram clean, leaving only a blank profile. The move follows a turbulent period for the rapper and entrepreneur, who has been embroiled in a series of lawsuits and allegations of sexual misconduct.
Combs' deleted posts included the apology video he shared in May after hotel surveillance footage of him assaulting his ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura surfaced. The video sparked outrage and led to a lawsuit filed by Ventura, which was later settled out of court.

Sources close to Combs told TMZ that the deletion of his Instagram posts was not aimed at Ventura or anyone else. Instead, it was a personal decision by the rapper to reset his social media presence.
Combs' purge comes amid mounting legal challenges. He is currently facing five lawsuits accusing him of sexual assault, sex trafficking, abuse, and other illegal activities. Combs has denied all allegations.

Ventura's legal team has criticized Combs' apology video, calling it "more about himself than the many people he has hurt." They maintain that Combs initially denied the allegations and suggested his victims were seeking financial gain.
In addition to Ventura's lawsuit, Combs has been sued by former fashion student April Lampros, who alleges he sexually assaulted her throughout the 1990s. Liza Gardner, Jane Doe, Joi Dickerson-Neal, and music producer Rodney "Lil Rod" Jones have also filed lawsuits against Combs.
