It has been reported that Diddy has declined his invitation to attend the 2024 Grammy Awards. This ceremony would be the first time he was nominated for an award in 20 years. This year, he is up for Best Progressive R&B Album for The Love Album: Off the Grid.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, a representative for the Bad Boys mogul said that he will not be attending the February 4th event. Diddy follows a list of controversial celebs who were all invited to the ceremony and declined the invitation. All nominees are invited autmatically, despite any battles they may be having.

Diddy was last nominated in 2004 and won for Best Rap Performance by a Duo or Group for Shake Ya Tailfeather alongside Nelly and Murphy Lee.

Last year, Diddy was accused of rape, sexual assault and abuse by ex-girlfirend, Casie. The lawsuit was settled only a few days later however, it opened the door for many other women accusing the mogul of similar actions. Four total lawsuits have been filed against him and are awaiting trial.
