Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs resurfaced on social media with an inspirational quote. His post garnered further celebrity support. It added three more names to a list that already includes music producer Stevie J and journalist DJ Vlad. Combs is facing multiple allegations of sexual assault and sex trafficking.

- Liza Gardner alleges that Diddy and Aaron Hall sexually assaulted her.
- Jane Doe alleges she was sexually assaulted and trafficked by Diddy and former Bad Boy Entertainment president Harvé Pierre.
- Lil Rod alleges that Diddy sexually assaulted him.
Combs took to Instagram to seemingly express confidence in his eventual exoneration from the ongoing sexual assault lawsuits. His post featured the quote “Time tells truth.” This was accompanied by the caption “Love” along with black heart, dizzy, sparkles, and high voltage emojis.
