Druski, Odell Beckham Jr. Deny Involvement in Diddy Case

Influencer Druski and NFL star Odell Beckham Jr. are the latest celebrities to be named in one of the many sexual-assault lawsuits against Sean “Diddy” Combs. An amended filing from March 7 lists Druski (born Drew Desbordes) and Beckham among more than 20 defendants alongside Diddy. A plaintiff, Ashley Parham, alleges Druski and Beckham were part of a group of men that gang-raped her with Diddy in 2018. Both Druski and Beckham deny their involvement. “This allegation is a fabricated lie,” Druski wrote in a statement posted to X. “I wasn’t a public figure in 2018 — I was broke living with my mom without any connections to the entertainment industry at the time of this allegation, so the inclusion of my name is truly outlandish.” Beckham called the allegations “stupid” in a reply to Druski on X. “Boy I’ll tell u what. This world makes absolutely no sense,” he wrote. “I am covered by God. He will prevail. I kno who am I, I kno who u are, keep ur head. That name will be cleared.” Lawyers for Diddy additionally denied the lawsuit’s allegations in a new statement to Vulture, saying it “demonstrates the depraved lengths plaintiffs will travel to garner headlines in pursuit of a payday.”

Parham first filed the lawsuit without naming Druski and Beckham in October. (She filed with two other anonymous plaintiffs who claim they were kidnapped by Diddy’s associates and forced to watch her assault.) Parham claimed she did not know Diddy before the assault, which she said took place at the apartment of Shane Pearce, an associate of Diddy. She alleged Pearce “‘set her up’ to be assaulted by Diddy” after she previously told Pearce she believed Diddy was involved in the murder of Tupac Shakur. She accused Diddy of threatening her with a knife, attempting to have an IUD inserted in her, and penetrating her with a TV remote. She then alleged she was raped by Pearce, Diddy, Druski, Beckham, and another associate of Diddy’s. Before Druski raped her, she claimed, he “jumped on top of Plaintiff’s naked and oiled body treating it like a slip and slide and knocking the wind out of Plaintiff due to his enormous size.” During the assault, according to the lawsuit, Diddy “made constant belittling remarks to Plaintiff including that he ‘owned her now.’”

Druski previously said he’d been to some of Diddy’s parties but denied being involved in any sexual assaults. He previously worked with Diddy and his network, Revolt TV, in 2021 on the series Sneak’in in With Druski. Beckham, meanwhile, was seen at one of Diddy’s parties in 2016. A woman accused Beckham of assault in 2023, claiming he put his hands on her throat, but he denied the allegation and police did not charge him. Beckham played wide receiver for the New York Giants in 2018, at the time of Parham’s alleged assault. He is currently a free agent.

More than 50 accusers have filed lawsuits against Diddy, largely accusing the hip-hop mogul of sexual assault. One plaintiff recently withdrew a lawsuit that accused Jay-Z of rape alongside Diddy; Jay-Z is now suing that accuser for defamation. Meanwhile, Diddy remains in prison on federal racketeering and sex-trafficking charges, and a new indictment additionally accuses him of using “forced labor” in his alleged scheme.

This post has been updated with a statement from Diddy.
