A warning as this article contains graphic comments.
Ashley Parham first sued Combs in October 2023, accusing him of a “violent gangbang-style rape.” She alleged Combs’ chief of staff attempted to insert an IUD into her but failed. She also claimed Combs later sexually assaulted her using a TV remote.
Parham further alleged that Combs retaliated against her for suggesting he was involved in the 1996 murder of Tupac Shakur. According to the lawsuit, Combs told her she would “pay for her comments,” a claim tied to long-standing conspiracy theories.
Despite speculation surrounding Shakur’s murder, the only person charged in the case is Duane “Keefe D” Davis, who is currently serving time.

Beckham Jr. and Druski added to the lawsuit
On March 7, 2025, Parham amended her lawsuit to include Beckham Jr. and Druski as defendants.
She alleges that in 2018, at a California home, Combs forced Druski to rape her. A section of the lawsuit describes the incident in detail:
“Instead of immediately raping Plaintiff, Defendant Druski doused Plaintiff with more oil/lubricant and then jumped on top of Plaintiff’s naked and oiled body, treating it like a slip and slide and knocking the wind out of Plaintiff due to his enormous size.”
Parham initially listed three unidentified individuals in her lawsuit, as she did not know their names. However, in the amended filing, she claims one was Beckham Jr. because she remembered hearing the name “Cornelius” and found it “odd and unique.” Beckham’s middle name is Cornelious.
She accuses Beckham Jr. of assaulting her while others in the room took turns, as Combs allegedly masturbated and recorded the incident.
Druski and Beckham Jr. deny allegations
Druski addressed the lawsuit on social media, calling the claims “a fabricated lie.”
“I wasn’t a public figure in 2018 — I was broke, living with my mom, without any connections to the entertainment industry at the time of this allegation,” he wrote. “So the inclusion of my name is truly outlandish.”
Druski added that he sympathizes with victims of abuse and believes evidence will prove the allegations false.
The comedian first gained popularity between 2017-18 through social media skits, often impersonating different personalities. However, he did not collaborate with major artists like Drake and Jack Harlow until 2019-20.
Beckham Jr., who is friends with Druski, responded to his post in support.
“This world makes absolutely no sense. I am covered by God. He will prevail. I know who I am, I know who you are — keep your head up. That name will be cleared.”
He later issued his own statement, denying the claims.
“I do not know and have never met the person who filed this suit. I was not anywhere near Orinda, CA, at that time. In fact, I don’t think I have ever even been to Orinda, CA,” he wrote. “I have never done anything like that, and I would never do anything like that to anyone.”

Authorities previously investigated claims
While these allegations remain in civil court, the Contra Costa Sheriff’s Department confirmed that a report was filed on March 23, 2018.
However, after an investigation, authorities determined the claims were unfounded.
Additionally, local news outlet KTVU reports that the owner of the home where the alleged assault occurred denied any connection to Combs. The homeowner stated that Shane Pearce, another defendant in the lawsuit, rented the house at the time but did not know Diddy.
The owner also claimed Pearce was battling cancer and ALS during the period in question.
