Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs returns key to New York City at request of mayor

Sean “Diddy” Combs has returned his symbolic key to New York City after Mayor Eric Adams said a committee recommended “nullifying and rescinding” it.

Combs was asked to return the key after video footage obtained by CNN showed him physically assaulting his then-girlfriend Cassie Ventura in 2016, according to a June 4 letter Adams sent to Combs.

In the letter Adams wrote that he was “deeply disturbed” by the video and strongly condemns these actions standing in solidarity with all survivors of domestic and gender-based violence.

Combs previously apologized for his actions in the video.

Combs, who grew up in Harlem, was awarded the key in September 2023.
