Despite the serious allegations of sex trafficking, racketeering, and related charges against Sean “Diddy” Combs, his music streams have seen a significant rise. Following his arrest in September 2024, streams of his music catalog surged by over 18%. This increase is thought to be part of a recurring pattern where controversy or legal trouble draws attention to an artist’s work.
However, while Diddy’s streaming numbers have risen, his presence on radio has suffered. Many stations have pulled his songs, especially after a resurfaced video showing him assaulting his ex, Cassandra “Cassie” Ventura. Diddy remains in custody after being denied bail and faces serious legal challenges ahead, including potential life imprisonment if convicted.
