It seems that Sean "Diddy" Combs is not part of the guest list for the prestigious 2024 Met Gala.
Recent reports suggested that, due to his involvement in a federal sex trafficking inquiry and facing several sexual assault allegations, the industry is distancing itself from the hip-hop icon.
Amid legal troubles for the Bad Boy Records mogul, the Hollywood fashion world is turning its back on the renowned hip-hop icon. Despite the music mogul's firm denial of the accusations, an anonymous source revealed that the influential figure, known for his Sean John clothing line, will not grace this year's exclusive event with his presence.
Diddy Cancelled?
According to the report from the National Enquirer (via Radar Online), the insider said, "Now he finds himself grappling not only with the preservation of his reputation but also with the loss of his standing within an industry that has unequivocally distanced itself from him."
The Met Gala often overlooks Diddy due to his legal troubles.
This isn't the first instance where the music tycoon has been excluded from one of Hollywood's grandest affairs because of his legal woes.

No VIP Invite
A recent update disclosed that the invitation for Diddy to attend the 2024 Grammy Awards was under scrutiny and ultimately withheld, per Radar Online. This decision came amid a series of legal actions taken against the music icon by multiple women, one of whom was his former partner Casandra "Cassie" Ventura, alleging him of rape and abuse.
In a statement on December 11, 2023, a spokesperson for the Recording Academy emphasized the importance of the ongoing evaluation of Diddy's situation, stating, "We are fully dedicated to handling this matter with the utmost seriousness and diligence it necessitates."
Ultimately, Diddy chose not to appear at the prestigious award ceremony.
Amid escalating sexual assault allegations, Sean "Diddy" Combs faced a wave of backlash as more than 18 companies decided to sever ties with his Empower Global enterprise.
The fallout extended to prestigious event invitations, with Diddy's involvement abruptly terminated. Recent reports also disclosed that Diddy divested his stake in Revolt TV last week.
Additionally, according to a report from Variety, Hulu decided to cancel a reality TV show featuring Diddy and his seven children following legal challenges against the "I Need A Girl" hitmaker in December 2023. The show, tentatively named Diddy+7, was supposed to be produced by Fulwell 73, the company James Corden owned.
