Notorious rapper Sean Diddy Combs has returned his symbolic key to New York City after Mayor Eric Adams announced that the community did not agree with him holding it. Combs was asked to turn the key after the viral video of him raping his ex-girlfriend, according to a June 4 letter Adams sent to the rapper.
In the letter, Adams wrote that he was deeply troubled by the video.
"I strongly condemn these actions and stand in solidarity with all survivors of domestic violence and gender-based violence," the letter said.
The letter adds: After internal deliberations, the Key to New York City committee recommended revoking Mr. Combs' key.
Combs previously apologized for his actions in the video. The award is a symbol of civic recognition and appreciation reserved for individuals whose service to the public and the common good rises to the highest level of achievement.
The key was returned to the city by the rapper on June 10, according to the City Hall. Combs has been named in eight civil lawsuits since November, seven of which directly accuse him of sexual harassment.
