Peloton has removed all of Sean "Diddy" Combs' music from its platform following the release of a 2016 video showing him assaulting former girlfriend Cassie Ventura. The fitness company confirmed they have paused the use of Diddy's music and removed the Bad Boy Entertainment Artist Series from their platform.

The decision came after concerned members called for the removal of Diddy's music, similar to the platform's 2022 removal of Kanye West's music following antisemitic remarks.

Following the footage's release, Diddy issued a public apology taking "full responsibility" for his actions, though he had previously denied any wrongdoing. The apology has been widely criticized, particularly since it wasn't directed at Cassie - which TMZ reports is due to settlement terms preventing him from mentioning her name.

The incident has led to further consequences for the music mogul. New York Mayor Eric Adams is now considering revoking Diddy's key to the city, which was awarded to him in September 2023, just months before Cassie filed her lawsuit alleging physical abuse. Adams noted that while they've never rescinded a key before, they are evaluating "next steps forward" given the "deeply disturbing" nature of the video.
