Diddy's Alleged Behavior at Howard Is Full of Red Flags

As the lawsuits for sexual assault and sexual harassment shed light on Sean “Diddy” Combs' disturbing history of alleged violence against women, rolling stones shocking new investigative article reveals that the music mogul's misdeeds could date back to his time in Howard University.

Diddy began attending the famous HBCU in the fall of 1987 and left after his sophomore year. However, the way he shouts out his alma mater, talks about his time there, and gives away money, you'd think he graduated. Apparently, it was during his time at Howard that he developed his reputation for throwing unforgettable parties.

However, he also gained a reputation for his alleged “unwanted touching and outbursts of rage.” According to the magazine, a woman told the outlet that after he “'rubbed'” her back without warning and asked if she would meet one. of her friends”, she remained “as far away as possible” from the future founder of Bad Boy.

It seems that anger management has always been an issue, as a former student described an incident in which she had a problem with Diddy cutting in line at the cafeteria and he “slipped.”

In one particularly frightening incident, a former classmate of Diddy's girlfriend described how he would show up to their English class and “knock on the window” to get his girlfriend to drop out. The classmate, who remained anonymous for fear of retaliation, recalled how the girlfriend “tense up” during these moments. “He just had a weird control thing. I felt like she was scared,” the classmate said.

It turns out she had reason to be afraid: That same classmate later described a situation in which Combs showed up outside his girlfriend's dorm room “yelling in a 'belligerent' way,” wanting let her come down. Soon after, women were knocking on doors and panicking because he was outside and assaulting his girlfriend. The classmate remembers other students saying, “Puff is out here acting crazy.” He beats her.

Another witness, who remained anonymous “due to the sensitive nature of the incident”, said he used what looked like a belt to “hit the young woman 'everywhere'”.

“She was trying to defend herself a little,” the witness said. “She was crying. And we were telling her, ‘Let her go.’ We were screaming for her.

The victim of the alleged assault declined to comment to Rolling Stone.

In case you're wondering, Howard is taking a lot of flak for his ongoing relationship with Diddy. His reputation is damaged by his association with the rapper/producer.

Combs began his music career as a part-time intern at Uptown Records while he was still attending Howard. Eventually, he left college to work full-time at a record label. It was the late rapper Heavy D who got him the job interview. They lived in the same neighborhood and Diddy bothered him relentlessly about the opportunity. Unfortunately, Diddy and Heavy D are forever linked for a much more tragic reason.

In 1991 they co-promoted a celebrity basketball game at the City College of New York. The event, which was supposed to feature appearances by New Edition's Michael Bivins, Big Daddy Kane, members of Run-DMC, Ed Lover and others, was oversold beyond its 2,730-seat capacity.

When far more people than expected showed up and the event did not start on time, the lack of police presence and adequate security led to a crowd surge that killed nine people and injured 29 others.

The event brought a quick end to Diddy's rise through the Uptown ranks, with the controversy eventually leading then-CEO Andre Harrell to fire him. Shortly after leaving Uptown, Arista Records signed him, along with Bad Boy, and the rest is history.
