In a shocking new court filing, Joseph Manzaro alleges that Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs and Jay-Z (Shawn Carter) “used a black rubber fist to violently assault me.” The claim was filed in the federal criminal case against Combs in New York, including allegations of drug trafficking by Combs’ alleged drug mule, Brendan Paul, who Manzaro claims lied during the case.
This declaration, catalogued as filing 503-2, was uploaded to Pacer on September 10, 2025. Notably, a popular X account, Diddy Docket, shared screenshots of this filing.
Additionally, Manzaro had previously filed a civil case in Florida against Sean Combs and others, which was recently dismissed. He stated in August that his attorney, Travis Walker, constructively abandoned him, claiming “failure to communicate, failure to perform, and obstruction of access to case materials.” Observers noted that Walker failed to serve many defendants, including Combs, despite having adequate time to do so.
