Miami Beach revokes honorary ‘Sean Diddy Combs Day’ following Cassie abuse video
Miami Beach has revoked its “Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs Day” after a shocking video of the rap mogul beating his ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura surfaced.
The annual holiday, which was put in place in October 2016, was scrapped following a unanimous vote by city commissioners last week, the Miami Herald reported.
Former Mayor Philip Levine introduced the honorary annual day to celebrate Combs — a Miami Beach, Fla., resident.
But after CNN released disturbing video footage of him abusing his ex in a hotel hallway from 2016, Combs had the honor rescinded, a resolution shows.
The Post has reached out to Combs’ reps for comment.
It comes just weeks after NYC Mayor Eric Adams revoked the rap star’s key to the Big Apple last month.
The key was returned after Adams fired off a June 4 letter to Combs, according to Fabien Levy, deputy mayor for communications.
“I strongly condemn these actions and stand in solidarity with all survivors of domestic and gender-based violence. Our city has worked tirelessly to make sure survivors are heard and seen by our administration,” Adams wrote, adding that he was “deeply disturbed” by the footage.
In the video released by CNN last month, Combs, 54, was seen throwing Ventura, his then-girlfriend, to the floor in a hotel before kicking her, dragging her down a hallway and then throwing objects at her.
After the footage made rounds on social media, Diddy took to social media to issue an apology video.
In the clip, Combs said he took “full responsibility” for his actions before waxing about how he was at “rock bottom” when the video was filmed.
He added that he’d been going to therapy since then to become a better person, and that he was “disgusted” with himself at the time of the beating, and still is today.
The music honcho notably did not mention Ventura’s name in his apology video, reportedly for legal reasons.
Combs dated the “Long Way 2 Go” singer from 2007 to 2018.
She has since moved on with personal trainer Alex Fine, whom she wed in September 2019. The pair has two daughters, Frankie, 4, and Sunny, 3.
