Following the highly publicized controversies sparked by Diddy's 2023 and 2024 accusations, he released the song "Pick a Side" addressing the criticism from fans, the Homeland security’s raid on the family’s property, and even targets rapper 50 Cent: “I dare one of you niggas scream out ‘no diddy’ / Police raid the crib like they think we selling crack, but we out here selling tracks / Multimillion dollar plaques,” Combs raps. On June 27, 2025, Combs released a surprise extended play called Never Stop, which included the song "Lonely Roads", a song Kanye West previewed in March 2025.

Legal issues

In April 2024, Combs was accused of sexual assault in a lawsuit that also named his father. The lawsuit alleged that in December 2022, while on vacation, Combs pressured a woman working as a stewardess on his father's yacht to drink tequila and later assaulted her by attempting to force her to give him oral sex. The woman also claimed that his father paid off the ship's crew to remain silent about the incident. An attorney for Combs, Aaron Dyer, claimed the lawsuit contained "manufactured lies and irrelevant facts".
