Embattled American music mogul Sean Puffy Combs popularly known in music circles as Puff Daddy has been accused of forcing s3x acts on two boys aged 10 and 17.
Puff Daddy was accused of drugging and s3xually assaulting a 10-year-old boy in a hotel room in New York in 2005 in one of the two lawsuits that were filed on Monday.
The jailed hip-hop entrepreneur is accused in the second lawsuit of abusing a 17-year-old potential contestant on the reality TV show Making the Band in 2008 in a similar manner.
The two fresh allegations, which emerged on Monday, were refuted by Puff Daddy’s attorneys, who accused Anthony Buzbee—who also represents victims in previous cases—of exploiting the lawsuits to gain attention.

“Mr Combs and his legal team have full confidence in the facts and the integrity of the judicial process,” a statement emailed to the Associated Press said.
“In court, the truth will prevail: that Mr Combs never s3xually assaulted or trafficked anyone—man or woman, adult or minor.” The statement by Puff Daddy’s attorneys read.
The complaints, which were filed in the New York State Supreme Court, are the most recent in a series of cases where plaintiffs claim Combs s3xually attacked them during meetings and parties during the previous 20 years.
