Azealia Banks has accused Elon Musk of being involved with Diddy‘s alleged sexual abuse of minors.
Things kicked off when Musk wrote on X (formerly Twitter): “How many people in music & entertainment knew about this?” in response to allegations that the Bad Boy boss abused a nine-year-old boy.
Banks then jumped on the social media platform, which is owned by Musk, and responded: “BITCH YOU KNEW ABOUT IT DIDDY IS ONE OF YOUR INVESTORS AND U WAS CHILLIN WITH GHISLANE HO.”
The Harlem-bred rapper was referencing reports that Puffy was one of the silent investors behind the Tesla CEO’s $44 billion acquisition of Twitter in 2022.
She then posted an A.I. picture that combined Musk’s face with Diddy’s and wrote: “This is probably a good time to buy tesla stock.”
Neither Musk nor Diddy, who is currently in jail awaiting trial on sex trafficking and racketeering charges, have responded to Banks’ claims.

The accusations regarding Diddy sexually abusing minors emerged earlier this week as part of an impending wave of lawsuits from more than 120 alleged victims.
Texas-based attorney Tony Buzbee announced at a news conference that the mass of lawsuits will be filed in the next 30 days and contain allegations of “violent sexual assault or rape, facilitated sex with a controlled substance, dissemination of video recordings [and] sexual abuse of minors” dating back over 20 years.
Buzbee said that 25 of the accusers were minors at the time of the alleged incidents, including a male who was aged nine.
The lawyer also teased that other high-profile figures were involved with the alleged assaults, saying: “The names that we’re gonna name are names that will shock you. We will find the silent accomplices. We will expose the enablers.”
Diddy’s attorney Erica Wolff issued a statement in response to the press conference, denying the claims.
“As Mr. Combs’ legal team has emphasized, he cannot address every meritless allegation in what has become a reckless media circus,” she wrote. “That said, Mr. Combs emphatically and categorically denies as false and defamatory any claim that he sexually abused anyone, including minors.
“He looks forward to proving his innocence and vindicating himself in court, where the truth will be established based on evidence, not speculation.”
Diddy is currently attempting to get released from jail on bail after two previous pleas for bond were denied by the court.
The mogul has so far been denied bail because prosecutors proved he is a “danger” and his proposed $50 million bail package was “insufficient even on risk of flight,” ruled Judge Andrew L. Carter, Jr.
He continues to be held at the notorious Metropolitan Detention Centre in Brooklyn where he resides in solitary confinement due to his celebrity status.
