Getty ImagesThe music mogul is facing multiple claims of rape and sexual assaultSean "Diddy" Combs has been accused of raping a woman as "payback" for suggesting he was involved in the murder of Tupac Shakur.
In a lawsuit filed in California, Ashley Parham also claims the musician threatened to slash her face with a knife in retaliation for her comments.
Mr Combs has yet to respond to the allegations, but has consistently denied all claims of sexual assault.
He has also previously denied any involvement in the drive-by shooting that killed rapper Tupac Shakur in Las Vegas in 1996.
The murder has never been solved, although former gang member Duane "Keffe D" Davis was charged with murder last year. Mr Davis, whose trial will begin in March 2025, previously claimed that Mr Combs offered him $1m (£769,000) for a hit on Shakur.

The friend was "attempting to impress" people by making a video call to Mr Combs, but Ms Parham refused to take part because she believed the rapper "had something to do with the murder of rapper Tupac Shakur".
In the lawsuit, she claims Mr Combs overheard her comment and said she would "pay" for it.
About a month later, the friend invited her to his home asking for help with his cancer drugs, and Mr Combs unexpectedly turned up, she claims.
Ms Parham alleges that the rapper then approached her "with a knife and held it to the right side of [her] face and threatened to give her a 'Glasgow smile' in retaliation for her previous statements".
Mr Combs then ripped off her clothes and "violently" raped her with a television remote control, the documents say.
During the ordeal, Mr Combs allegedly told her that her life was in his hands and that, if he so desired, she would never be seen again.
