As Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs faces assault claims and a possible federal sex trafficking case, he’s also grappling with some significant repercussions.
According to the Miami Herald, the Miami Beach Commission has revoked the proclamation declaring October 13th as ‘Sean Diddy Combs Day.’
Billboard reports that Diddy originally received the honorary recognition from Mayor Phillip Levine at a REVOLT conference in 2016.
The announcement follows a federal sex-trafficking investigation that included raids on the Bad Boy mogul’s South Beach mansion three months ago. Per the Miami Herald, the commission rescinded the recognition without holding any discussion on Wednesday, June 26.
Miami Beach officials have stated that, in light of Diddy’s accusations, they have decided that the honorary day no longer reflects the city’s values.
“Upon reflection, the Mayor and City Commission have determined that recognizing October 13, 2016 as ’Sean Diddy Combs Day’ is no longer in harmony with the City’s values of safety, community well-being, and respect, and wish to rescind the proclamation.”
Whew! Several social media users quickly joined The Shade Room comment section to express their opinions on the revocation of ‘Sean Diddy Combs Day.’
Instagram user @b.sintini wrote, “😂 it was never really his day, who cares.”
Instagram user @_itsmyricleee wrote, “Why is he still a free man?? 😭”
While Instagram user @chris.christo wrote, “What’s next taking his high school diploma?”
Then Instagram user @manii_loveeee wrote, “But trump over here running for president again 🙄🤦🏾♀️”
Instagram user @aprnbeauty wrote, “Y’all doing everything but arresting this dude!”
Finally Instagram user @just__sayingtho wrote, “Taking days, keys to the city and honorary degrees literally does nothing.I wouldn’t even care.”
As previously reported, Diddy began losing various honors following the raid on his home and the release of a viral video by CNN showing him assaulting his former girlfriend, Cassie Ventura.
The revocation of ‘Sean Diddy Combs Day’ coincides with the loss of his honorary degree from Howard University and his key to New York City. NBC News reported that the university made the announcement on June 7. Regarding the Key, TMZ’s source indicated that New York City sent letters on June 4, and Combs returned the Key on June 10.
Meanwhile, earlier this week, TMZ revealed that a guitar autographed with his Puff Daddy moniker was heading to auction.
Per TMZ, GottaHaveRockandRoll predicts the electric guitar, autographed with “Luv, Puff Daddy, Bad Boy 4 Life” in silver ink, will sell for at least $2,000 at auction. The media outlet added that the listing is part of Gotta Have Rock and Roll’s Hip Hop auction, which began on June 26.
Other notable items feature Biggie Smalls’ signature, Kanye West’s autographed boots, and a nose ring that Tupac wore and owned.
