Sean “Diddy” Combs, who was presented the key to New York City by New York Mayer Eric Adams last September, has returned the key following a request from the Mayor in response to the release of a video showing the musician attacking R&B singer Cassandra Ventura.

According to the mayor’s office, Combs returned the key after Adams sent letters to his offices in New York and California on June 4 rescinding the key and asking for it to be sent back to City Hall.

Adams wrote he was “deeply disturbed” by the attack, adding, “I strongly condemn these actions and stand in solidarity with all survivors of domestic and gender-based violence.”

A security video aired by CNN in May, showed Combs attacking Cassie in a hotel hallway in Los Angeles in 2016. Combs has said he is “truly sorry” for the attack on Cassie and called his actions “inexcusable.”

Cassie sued Combs last year, but that case was settled a day after it was filed.

Adams awarded Combs with the key at a ceremony last year that coincided with the release of a new album.
