Diddy Day Dropped in Miami by the City’s Commission – The Source
Miami has cut “Sean Diddy Combs Day” in Miami. According to The Miami Herald, the axe of the annual celebration was called by the Miami Beach Commission.
This past Wednesday, a resolution was passed stating, “upon reflection, the Mayor and City Commission have determined that recognizing October 13, 2016, as ‘Sean Diddy Combs Day’ is no longer in harmony with the City’s values of safety, community well-being, and respect, and wish to rescind the proclamation.”
Additionally, it looks like Diddy has resolved his legal battle with Sean John LLC and GBG USA Inc., the former owners of his clothing company.
Remember Sean John? At one point, the brand was running the streetwear world.
According to various news outlets, Diddy has voluntarily dropped his $60 million lawsuit against these entities after reaching an agreement.
The dispute began in 2021 when Diddy sued the company for continuing to use his likeness and image after he sold 90 percent of his stake in 2016.
The conflict arose because Diddy felt the new owners misused his image in their marketing campaigns.
Bet, they aren’t using his likeness anymore. But we can’t confirm how Sean John is handling the brand nowadays.
Sean Combs created Sean John in the 1990s, and the brand quickly became a powerhouse by 2001.
This lawsuit dismissal is a recent development in a series of legal issues for Diddy.
He faces ongoing allegations of sex trafficking and fallout from the disturbing and infamous video related to the claims was released.

“There’s always more in the tank that I can always, you know, push past and to always give more,” Ware said Friday. “He always told me it’s never where my skillset stops at. There’s always more that I can improve and more that I can put on the floor and to be able to perform better.”
