Another accusation has come to light against rapper/producer Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs. The embattled actor Terrence Howard, who starred in Iron Man (2008), said that the rapper tried to have sex with him. Howard shared that Diddy requested his help regarding a performance, and when he went over to give him some lessons, the rapper’s behaviour made him suspicious and uncomfortable.
“Puffy invited me for weeks, asking me to come and teach him how to – he wanted me to be his acting coach for a while. I go there, and he’s sitting around just looking. I’m like, ‘Okay, what’s the material you want to work on?’ He’s just looking at me. Then the next thing you know, ‘Hey, will you help me? I want to hear your music.’ So, I come over there and I’m playing the music,” said Howard.
The actor added that even as he was playing music, Diddy just sat there in silence, and his gaze made him doubt his intentions. Eventually his suspicions were confirmed by one of his assistants, who also concurred that Diddy was trying to have sex with Howard. The assistant said that Diddy wanted Howard to come back a week later. “I was like, ‘For what?’” Howard said on the PBD Podcast. “He’s like, ‘I think he’s trying to f— you.’”

Howard has himself been accused and arrested for rape, domestic abuse and drug-related allegations. He was also convicted in a tax-fraud case and was ordered to pay $1 million as a penalty. He played the character of Colonel Rhodes in the first Iron Man film, but was later replaced with Don Cheadle, reportedly due to a salary dispute. The actor even claimed that he agreed to take a pay cut so that the studio would hire Robert Downey Jr as Tony Stark, but Marvel refuted these claims and said that Howard had nothing to do with Downey’s casting. Howard then went on to accuse Robert for pushing him out of the franchise and getting him fired.
Meanwhile, Diddy is facing a mountain of allegations, including two counts of sex trafficking, two counts of transportation for prostitution, and one count of racketeering; he has entered a not-guilty plea in court. He found fame with his record label Bad Boy Records, which he started back in 1993 and signed artists like Notorious B.I.G., 112, Lox, Craig Mack and Faith Evans.
Diddy was arrested in September 16, 2024, and his trial will begin next month.
