On the heels of Sean "Diddy" Combs reaching a settlement with ex-girlfriend Casandra "Cassie" Ventura for an undisclosed amount on November 17, just one day after the latter accused the hip hop mogul of years of physical abuse, sexual assault and sex trafficking, Rolling Stone has published a retrospective of his history of violence.
• Jake Robles Shooting, 1995: "Combs and Death Row Records co-founder Marion 'Suge' Knight were once friends, but the animosity that fueled the violent rivalry between Death Row and Bad Boy started once Knight's friend (and security guard) Jake Robles was killed outside an Atlanta nightclub after an argument with the Bad Boy camp... Robles died weeks later at an Atlanta hospital. Combs has denied involvement in the shooting, which Knight reportedly held him responsible for."
• Club New York Shooting, 1999: "In late December 1999, Combs and his Bad Boy signee Jamal 'Shyne' Barrow were partying at Club New York when Diddy knocked a drink out of Matthew 'Scar' Allen's hands. Allen got into an argument with Combs and someone threw money in Combs' face... Prosecutors allege that amid the fray, all three men drew guns, and Shyne shot three times in the crowded club... A witness at the trial said she saw both Shyne and Combs shoot their weapons, but Combs was acquitted on all charges, while Shyne was found guilty of five of his eight charges and was sentenced to 10 years in prison."
• Allegedly Punches Drake, 2014: "In December 2014, Combs allegedly punched Drake over the rights to the beat that became Drake's '0 to 100.' The Miami New-Times reported that the two got into an argument outside of LIV nightclub... Words were allegedly exchanged, and reportedly, 'then blows,' with Combs telling Drake, 'You will not disrespect me.' Combs has denied punching Drake, telling the radio show The Breakfast Club 'I didn't do nothing to Drake, Drake is my friend.'"

• Gina Huynh Alleges Abuse, 2019: "Combs' ex Gina Huynh told blogger Tasha K that Combs physically abused her throughout their five-year relationship. She claimed he [Sensitive]once stomped her on the stomach, causing her to lose her breath, and also punched her in the back of the head. She told Tasha K that, 'He was mentally, emotionally and physically abusing me. He would always compare me to Cassie and tell me that I'm the bad one, she's the good one.' She also said that 'everyone' in Combs' circle 'allowed' the abuse to occur."
