P Diddy’s key to Miami Beach has been revoked.
City officials of Miami Beach, Florida have stripped the I’ll Be Missing You hitmaker of the key that was awarded to him nine years ago. According to TMZ, Diddy’s reputation and recent scandals led them to make the decision.
The rapper, real name Sean Combs, was arrested on 16 September and charged with sex trafficking, racketeering and transportation to engage in prostitution. He “categorically denies” all of the charges made against him.

An inside source told TMZ that the move was made at a hearing on Wednesday. According to reports, the decision “yielded a unanimous vote” and the Miami Beach Mayor Steven Meiner has yet to sign the resolution.
Back at the start of October it was reported that Diddy would have his key rescinded after he was asked to return his key to New York. The father of six was awarded an honorary key to Miami Beach back in 2015.
The exact date had not been confirmed due to Hurricane Milton and insiders told TMZ that the storm was the reason for the delay. Miami Beach has previously given honorary keys to a number of Hollywood stars, including Diddy’s ex-girlfriend Jennifer Lopez.
The key to the city is meant to represent civic recognition and gratitude, reserved for people whose public service and contributions to the common good reach the highest level of achievement.
According to reports, the mayor of New York City Eric Adams requested that Diddy’s key to the city be returned back in June after penning a letter to the rap star. The mayor declared his support for survivors of domestic abuse and noted that the key to the city is reserved for exemplary citizens.
According to Adams, Diddy no longer fits the bill. The rapper, real name Sean Combs, is currently being held at the Metropolitan Detention Centre in Brooklyn.
