Amid recent arrests and sex trafficking allegations against the hip-hop mogul, Miami Beach officials are moving to revoke Diddy's honorary key to the city.

AceShowbiz - Following his arrest in New York City for alleged sex trafficking and racketeering, Miami Beach city officials are reportedly in the final stages of negotiations to strip Sean "P. Diddy" Combs of his key to the city. The move is being driven by the severity of the charges and Diddy's previous conduct.
Former Miami Beach Mayor Philip Levine bestowed the honor upon Diddy in 2015 during the Revolt Music Conference. Since then, other celebrities, such as Jennifer Lopez and DJ Khaled, have also received the key.
However, this is not the first time Diddy has been stripped of such an honor. In June, New York City Mayor Eric Adams requested the return of a key to the city he had previously given Diddy, citing a video of the Bad Boy mogul assaulting his ex-girlfriend Cassie. Diddy complied with the request.
Diddy has pleaded not guilty to the New York City charges and remains in jail while awaiting trial. His attorney Marc Agnifilo has stated that his client will not accept a plea deal.
The exact date when Diddy's key to Miami Beach will be rescinded is unclear. Hurricane Milton, approaching Florida, could potentially delay the process. City officials are closely monitoring the storm's trajectory and will determine the timing accordingly.
