give it back after 2016 security footage of Combs

The footage shows Combs chasing Cassie down
a hotel hallway, grabbing her near the elevator, throwing her to the ground and kicking her twice.

on the ground by her sweatshirt.

I strongly condemn these actions
and stand in solidarity with all
survivors of domestic and gender-based violence, NYC Mayor Eric Adams, via letter to Diddy.
Our city has worked tirelessly to
make sure survivors are heard and
seen by our administration, NYC Mayor Eric Adams, via letter to Diddy.
Diddy has since honored the mayor's
request and returned the key.
He also released a video apology, calling his "behavior" in the footage "inexcusable.".
Five lawsuits alleging "sexual assault, sexual trafficking"
and "other criminal activity" have been filed
against Diddy since November, NBC News reports.
