Eminem had some words for Sean “Diddy” Combs

On his new album The Death of Slim Shady, released July 12, the rapper (real name Marshall Mathers) called out Diddy on several of his tracks including “Antichrist,” in which he appears to reference the 2016 surveillance video—released by CNN in May—showing Diddy physically assaulting his ex Cassie Ventura in a hotel hallway. 

“Next idiot ask me is gettin’ his ass beat worse than Diddy did—,” Eminem sings, cutting himself off before calling out Cassie by name. “But on the real, though. / She prolly ran out the room with his f--kin’ dildo / He tried to field goal punt her, she said to chill / Now put it back in my ass and get the steel toe.”

That was far from the only verse aimed at the Bad Boy Records founder as in “Fuel,” he referred to the numerous allegations of sexual assault by Diddy (Six women, including Cassie, have come forward accusing the 54-year-old of sexual misconduct in lawsuits, and he has denied all allegations.)

He also insinuated that the rapper was involved in the 1996 and 1997 murders of Tupac Shakur and The Notorious B. I. G. (Duane “Keefe D” Davis was charged for the latter murder in 2023 and has pleaded not guilty.) 

“I’m like a R-A-P-E-R,” Eminem sings. “Got so many S-As, S-As / Wait, he didn’t just spell the word, “Rapper” and leave out a P, did he? (Yep) / R.I.P., rest in peace, Biggie / And Pac, both of y’all should be living / But I ain’t tryna beef with him / ‘Cause he might put a hit on me like Keefe D did / And that’s the only way you’re gonna be killing me.”

E! News has reached out to reps for Cassie and Diddy regarding Eminem’s lyrics but has not yet heard back. 

Diddy and Cassie reached a settlement in her lawsuit—in which Cassie accused Diddy of rape and abuse—in November 2023, just one day after the “Me & U” singer filed it.

“I have decided to resolve this matter amicably on terms that I have some level of control," Cassie, who dated Diddy on and off for about a decade, said in a statement to NBC News at the time. “I want to thank my family, fans and lawyers for their unwavering support."

While Diddy denied Cassie’s allegations in response to her lawsuit, he later apologized after the video of him physically assaulting Cassie was made public in May.

“I was f--ked up,” the rap mogul said in a May 19 video. “I hit rock bottom. But I make no excuses. My behavior on that video is inexcusable. I take full responsibility for my actions in that video. I'm so sorry. But I'm committed to be a better man each and every day. I'm not asking for forgiveness. I'm truly sorry.”

A few days later, Cassie also issued her own statement in response to the video. 

“The outpouring of love has created a place for my younger self to settle and feel safe now, but the is only the beginning,” she wrote in a May 23 Instagram post. “Domestic Violence is THE issue. It broke me down to someone I never thought I would become. With a lot of hard work, I am better today, but I will always be recovering from my past.”

Keep reading to untangle all of the recent legal trouble facing Diddy.

Federal agents with Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) executed search warrants at Sean “Diddy” Combs’ Los Angeles and Miami properties on March 25, multiple law enforcement sources confirmed to NBC News.  

The sources told the outlet the warrant was out of the Southern District of New York, and a spokesperson for HSI New York confirmed to E! News it “executed law enforcement actions as part of an ongoing investigation, with assistance from HSI Los Angeles, HSI Miami, and our local law enforcement partners.” 

Law enforcement sources told NBC News the music mogul was in the Miami area when the search warrants were executed. 

News about the investigation broke after Combs faced allegations of sexual misconduct in lawsuits filed by multiple accusers starting in November, with the musician denying the allegations. 

“Sickening allegations have been made against me by individuals looking for a quick payday,” he wrote in a December statement posted on Instagram. “Let me be absolutely clear: I did not do any of the awful things being alleged. I will fight for my name, my family and for the truth.” 

The day after HSI executed the search warrants at Combs' L.A. and Miami properties, his lawyer spoke out. 

"Yesterday, there was a gross overuse of military-level force as search warrants were executed at Mr. Combs' residences," attorney Aaron Dyer said in a March 26 statement to E! News. "There is no excuse for the excessive show of force and hostility exhibited by authorities or the way his children and employees were treated." 

Dyer noted Combs “was never detained but spoke to and cooperated with authorities.”  

“Despite media speculation, neither Mr. Combs nor any of his family members have been arrested nor has their ability to travel been restricted in any way,” his lawyer's statement continued. “This unprecedented ambush—paired with an advanced, coordinated media presence—leads  to a premature rush to judgment of Mr. Combs and is nothing more than a witch hunt based on meritless accusations made in civil lawsuits.” 

And Dyer expressed Combs' intent to defend himself.

“There has been no finding of criminal or civil liability with any of these allegations,” he added. “Mr. Combs is innocent and will continue to fight every single day to clear his name.”

As for what actually went down during the searches, multiple law enforcement sources familiar with the warrant told NBC News authorities with the Department of Homeland Security seized phones from Combs’ home in Miami before he was scheduled to travel to the Bahamas, and several sources familiar with the matter added that guns were discovered during the search.

One source familiar with the matter also told NBC News three women and one man were interviewed by prosecutors and investigators from the Southern District of New York about allegations of sex trafficking, sexual assault, the solicitation and distribution of illegal narcotics and firearms purportedly tied to Combs.

On the same day the search warrants were executed at Combs’ Miami and Los Angeles properties, one of his associates, Brendan Paul, was arrested by the Miami-Dade police on suspicion of drug possession, a law enforcement source familiar with the matter told NBC News. 

According to the Miami-Dade arrest affidavit obtained by the outlet, Paul was taken into custody for allegedly possessing suspected cocaine and suspected marijuana candy. 

Prison records obtained by NBC News show Paul was released on March 26 after posting bond.

“We do not plan on trying this case in the media,” Paul’s attorney Brian Bieber said in a statement obtained by the outlet, “all issues will be dealt with in court.”
