In a stunning revelation, Diddy played a key role in helping Elon Musk secure the funding for his $44 billion acquisition of Twitter (now X) in November 2022. While speculation about Diddy’s involvement as an investor circulated at the time, recent court documents have confirmed his participation through Sean Combs Capital, LLC.
Alongside Diddy, notable investors included Twitter co-founder Jack Dorsey, Saudi Prince Al Waleed bin Talal Al Saud, and hedge fund manager Bill Ackman. However, it’s unclear whether Diddy or any original investors still hold stakes in the company two years later.
The investor list was initially sealed due to a lawsuit from former Twitter employees, who accused Musk of failing to pay owed fees and violating arbitration agreements after the purchase. A motion to unseal these documents was granted recently, shedding light on the matter.
On another front, Diddy is currently embroiled in serious legal troubles, facing accusations of sexual assault and sex trafficking from multiple lawsuits, including a high-profile case from his former girlfriend, Cassie. This lawsuit alleges years of physical abuse and coercion into sex trafficking. Disturbing evidence, including a video of alleged abuse, has surfaced, leading to investigations by Homeland Security. Although no charges have been filed yet, a grand jury has already heard testimony regarding the allegations.
