In a shocking new court filing, Joseph Manzaro claims that Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs and Jay-Z (Shawn Carter) “used a black rubber fist to violently assault me.” The declaration, part of Combs’ federal criminal case in New York, also includes accusations of drug trafficking linked to an alleged associate, Brendan Paul, who Manzaro alleges lied during the testimonies in the ongoing criminal proceedings.
Manzaro’s declaration, labeled as filing 503-2 in the case docket, was posted on Pacer on September 10, 2025. Screenshots of the filing were shared on the popular X account, Diddy Docket.
In a separate legal matter, Manzaro had previously filed a civil case against Combs and others in Florida, which was dismissed. In this civil filing, he accused his attorney, Travis Walker, of abandoning him, claiming inadequate communication and failure to properly serve the defendants, including Combs.
As the case continues to unfold, the implications for both Combs and Jay-Z could be significant, potentially affecting their public image and legal standing.
