NEW YORK — Sean “Diddy” Combs may have been acquitted of federal sex trafficking and racketeering charges last week, but the Harlem-born mogul is already being accused of additional sexual misconduct in yet another in a long line of civil lawsuits, this one claiming he masturbated into a shirt owned by the Notorious B.I.G. and threw it onto another man.

An plaintiff, identified only as John Doe, is suing the 55-year-old Bad Boy Records founder for multiple misdeeds, including sexual battery and intentional infliction of emotional distress, according to the filing obtained by TMZ. The outlet did not disclose the damages Doe is seeking.

Doe claims he was in a September 2020 listening session with Combs — who was convicted last week on two lesser counts of transporting individuals for prostitution — regarding a Notorious B.I.G. project, when Combs pressured him to take ketamine.

The men moved to a Los Angeles warehouse storing Biggie’s clothes when Diddy allegedly started watching porn and took one of the late rapper’s shirts to masturbate into it, ultimately calling on Doe to “finish” him off. Combs allegedly did so before Doe could get his bearings and threw the shirt onto the latter, saying, “RIP Biggie,” referring to late rapper Notorious B.I.G.

The alleged incident occurred during a listening session regarding a Biggie project, during which Combs is accused of having pressured Doe to take ketamine.

Years prior, Doe claims that Combs shoved his penis in the former’s face in 2005, ordering him to “suck it.”

“Mr. Combs’ trial and acquittal on trafficking and RICO charges prove what we have been saying all along: Mr. Combs never sexually assaulted or trafficked anyone,” Diddy’s lawyers told TMZ in a statement, following the outlet’s initial report. “That people continue to broadcast and file false accusations — no matter how heinous and uncorroborated — is unfortunate, but Mr. Combs. will not back down.”

His attorneys said that Diddy “will fight for as long as necessary to win his full vindication,” which is now in question in over 60 lawsuits, included those filed by individuals who were minors at the time of Combs’ alleged offenses.

Combs was facing life behind bars last week before a jury acquitted him of the most serious charges last week. He now faces a maximum 20-year sentence — 10 years each, with no minimum. Combs has been denied bond and will remain in custody until his sentencing, initially set by the judge for October.

A sentencing schedule hearing will take place Tuesday at which Combs’ lawyers will push to move up the sentencing date.

Lawyers for Combs did not immediately respond to the Daily News’ request for comment.
