The allegations in P. Diddy's ongoing sex trafficking and racketeering case are some of the ugliest we've seen in a long time when it comes to celebrity abuse and misconduct.

The hip-hop mogul and record executive is accused of unspeakable crimes involving kidnapping, drugs, alcohol and coercion of both men and women into nonconsensual sexual activities (some of whom were allegedly underage at the time).

In another shocking turn, many were surprised to see NFL wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr., as well as internet personality Druski, named as a defendants in a recent 87-page lawsuit filed in the Northern District of California — which led to both of them speaking out about the situation on social media.

"This allegation is a fabricated lie," the comedian posted to X. "I wasn't a public figure in 2018 — I was broke living with my mom without any connections to the entertainment industry at the time of this allegation, so the inclusion of my name is truly outlandish."

"My heart breaks for actual victims of abuse," he added. "But I'm fully confident that the evidence will expose this falsehood and the individuals who are maliciously trying to game the legal system to peddle false narratives."

OBJ also commented on the post, saying he knows both of their names will be cleared when it's all said and done.

"Boy I'll tell u what. This world makes absolutely no sense," Beckham said. "I am covered by God. He will prevail. I kno who am I, I kno who u are, keep ur head. That name will be cleared. Shxts stupid."

The former Pro Bowl wideout last played for the Miami Dolphins in 2024 where he appeared in nine games and caught just nine passes for 55 yards.

It's been a long time now since he was one of the game's best receivers after exploding onto the scene with the New York Giants in the mid-2010s.

We'll see if this situation has any impact on team's potential interest in Beckham with the new league year about to get underway.
