Sean 'Diddy' Combs,  the hip-hop mogul, has been hit by a fresh sexual assault accusation from an unnamed man.

Background: The rapper, 54, who is in a New York jail awaiting trial on , is alleged to have drugged and attacked a male who was 39 at the time of the reported abuse.

According to a complaint filed in a New York federal court and obtained by People magazine, the unidentified plaintiff claims he was drugged by Combs during a party at a home in New York City in 2022.

The plaintiff alleged he attended the gathering with friends and was given a drink that made him lose control of his body before he allegedly blacked out.
After regaining consciousness, the man said he found himself in a "dark bedroom" with "black walls" and on a bed with black sheets.

He said he realised Combs was "on top of him" performing a sex act.

What else to know: The latest complaint was one of five filed on Tuesday that have just come to light.

They are all from clients represented by attorney Tony Buzbee, who has announced that he was representing more than 100 clients who say they were the victims of misconduct by Combs.

Combs has denied committing any sexual abuse, and his attorneys said after the first flood of complaints filed by Buzbee's clients, Combs cannot "address every meritless allegation in what has become a reckless media circus".
