'Culture of fear' | P Diddy's former staff allege rapper demanded he's spoken to like Karl Lagerfeld

A number of former employees of the rapper Sean ‘P Diddy’ Combs have come forward to expose the toxic work environment at his fashion brand Sean John and dissolved advertising firm Blue Flame.

The rapper, widely known as ‘P Diddy’, has recently made headlines after abuse allegations came to light from Diddy’s ex-girlfriend and singer-songwriter Cassie, along with a leaked hotel CCTV video of the rapper physically assaulting her whilst they were together.

Diddy is also being investigated for sex trafficking as his LA and Miami homes were recently searched by Homeland Security Investigations.

Following this, several former employees have alleged Combs created a "culture of fear” at his companies due to his “erratic” and “threatening” behaviour, where he refused to take responsibility for the firms’ failures and staff were often expected to work between 7am and 11pm.
