El panorama judicial de Sean Combs, conocido mundialmente como P. Diddy, vuelve a complicarse tras la aparición de nuevas denuncias por presunta agresión sexual en su contra. Los recientes señalamientos se suman a la larga lista de procesos civiles y judiciales que enfrenta el empresario y productor musical estadounidense.
Uno de los casos fue presentado en California por una persona que decidió mantener su identidad bajo reserva y que asegura haber sido víctima de Combs cuando era menor de edad. Según informó ABC News, la denuncia está relacionada con hechos que habrían ocurrido en 2007 durante un evento realizado en Hollywood Hills, al que asistieron personas vinculadas a la industria del entretenimiento.
De acuerdo con la querella, el entonces actor infantil habría sido abordado por el productor bajo la promesa de conversar sobre posibles oportunidades profesionales. El demandante sostiene que, durante un encuentro privado, fue sometido a conductas de carácter sexual no consentidas que le habrían provocado secuelas emocionales que persisten hasta la actualidad.
La denuncia también señala que el artista le habría ofrecido una bebida alcohólica antes de solicitar hablar a solas con él. Posteriormente, según el documento judicial citado por ABC News, se habrían presentado los hechos que hoy son materia de investigación.
Una denuncia relacionada con hechos ocurridos en 2007
TMZ reportó que el denunciante asegura que Combs le manifestó interés en impulsar su carrera como actor y que, una vez estuvieron solos, se produjo la presunta agresión. El hombre sostiene que abandonó el lugar poco después de lo ocurrido y que el episodio lo marcó profundamente.
Además de la acción judicial contra el productor musical, el demandante también presentó reclamaciones contra personas que, según su versión, tenían responsabilidades de protección durante el evento.
Frente a estas acusaciones, el representante de Combs, Juda Engelmayer, rechazó categóricamente los señalamientos y aseguró que carecen de fundamento.

“Las acusaciones de este supuesto actor infantil anónimo son falsas y ridículas. Es solo otro detractor más en una larga lista de personas que intentan aprovecharse del dinero fácil, alentadas por abogados de lesiones personales. El señor Combs jamás agredió sexualmente a nadie, ¡y eso incluye a ningún menor! Estas acusaciones serán desmentidas, como todas las demás», afirmó.
Paralelamente, las autoridades del condado de Los Ángeles continúan revisando otros expedientes relacionados con denuncias contra el productor. Entre ellos figura una presentada por el productor musical Jonathan Hay, quien lo acusa de haber incurrido en comportamientos inapropiados en 2020.
Por ahora, la Fiscalía analiza la documentación recopilada por los investigadores para determinar si existen elementos suficientes que permitan avanzar hacia nuevas actuaciones judiciales. Hasta el momento no se ha informado una decisión definitiva sobre ese proceso.
Un frente judicial que sigue creciendo
Las nuevas denuncias surgen mientras Combs permanece privado de la libertad en Estados Unidos. En 2025 fue condenado a 50 meses de prisión por cargos relacionados con el transporte de personas con fines de prostitución.
El proceso judicial que derivó en esa sentencia estuvo marcado por varias semanas de testimonios y una amplia atención mediática. Aunque el productor fue absuelto de algunos de los cargos más graves que enfrentaba, el fallo mantuvo su responsabilidad en otros delitos, situación que derivó en la condena que actualmente cumple.
Además de la sentencia penal, el artista continúa enfrentando numerosas demandas civiles presentadas por hombres y mujeres que lo acusan de distintos tipos de abuso y conducta sexual inapropiada. Mientras su equipo legal adelanta recursos para intentar revertir parte de las decisiones judiciales, la aparición de nuevos denunciantes añade presión a una situación legal que sigue lejos de resolverse.
A sus 56 años, quien durante décadas fue considerado una de las figuras más influyentes de la industria musical estadounidense enfrenta uno de los momentos más complejos de su trayectoria, con investigaciones y procesos que continúan desarrollándose en diferentes tribunales del país.
Después de varios días de rumores y especulaciones en redes sociales, la empresaria e influenciadora Juliana Calderón decidió hablar públicamente sobre una de las noticias más importantes de su vida: la llegada de su primer hijo.
La creadora de contenido apareció en una transmisión en vivo para responder preguntas de sus seguidores y aclarar diferentes versiones que habían surgido desde que se conoció la noticia de su embarazo. Durante la conversación, confirmó que efectivamente está esperando un bebé y dejó ver que ya se encuentra en una etapa avanzada de gestación.
Las dudas sobre su estado comenzaron a circular luego de que su hermana, Yina Calderón, revelara públicamente que la familia estaba preparándose para recibir a un nuevo integrante. Desde ese momento, miles de usuarios comenzaron a comentar el tema en redes sociales, mientras Juliana optaba por mantenerse alejada de las declaraciones públicas.
Sin embargo, la empresaria decidió poner fin a la incertidumbre y mostrar por primera vez cómo avanza su embarazo. Durante la transmisión, habló con naturalidad sobre los cambios que ha experimentado en los últimos meses y aseguró sentirse feliz por esta nueva etapa.
Según explicó, la llegada de su hijo representa una bendición que apareció en un momento significativo de su vida. Juliana aseguró que recibe esta experiencia con gratitud y que considera que todo ocurrió en el instante adecuado.
La influenciadora también contó que, pese a la sorpresa inicial, hoy vive el proceso con tranquilidad y entusiasmo. Incluso reveló que ya tiene definidos varios nombres para su bebé, aunque por ahora no ha confirmado oficialmente cuál es su sexo.
Entre las opciones que contempla si se trata de una niña se encuentran Guadalupe y Dulce María. La empresaria explicó que uno de esos nombres está relacionado con la devoción que siente su familia por la Virgen de Guadalupe, una figura religiosa que ha estado presente a lo largo de su vida.

La incógnita sobre el padre del bebé
Uno de los asuntos que más interés ha despertado entre los internautas es la identidad del padre del bebé.
Desde que se conoció el embarazo comenzaron a circular diferentes versiones en redes sociales. Algunos usuarios mencionaron a personas que han estado relacionadas sentimentalmente con Juliana en distintos momentos de su vida, mientras que otros señalaron a figuras conocidas del entorno digital.
Ante esos comentarios, la influenciadora aclaró que la identidad del padre será revelada más adelante y explicó que se trata de una decisión que involucra a ambas partes.
“El papá de mi hijo lo voy a contar en su momento, cuando él también se sienta bien de contar las cosas, porque no solo depende de mí, sino también de él”, afirmó.
Entre los nombres que más fueron mencionados por los usuarios apareció el de Juan David Tejada, conocido en redes sociales como “el agropecuario” y reconocido por haber sostenido una relación con Aida Victoria Merlano.
No obstante, Juliana negó que exista actualmente un vínculo sentimental entre ambos y aseguró que lo considera únicamente un amigo.
“No, no, no, póngale cuidado. Yo quiero mucho a Juan David porque es excelente persona, porque es un buen amigo, porque todo el tema. Mmm, pero hasta ahí. Entonces, yo no puedo pasar por encima de lo que él quiera o no quiera, por mí contar quién es el papá del hijo, subirlo, decir es el papá, esto lo otro”, aseguró.

Aunque prefirió mantener algunos aspectos de su vida privada bajo reserva, Juliana dejó claro que planea compartir más información sobre esta experiencia en el futuro.
“Llegará el momento del papá. Va a llegar ese momento. Tienen que estar muy pendientes de mi Instagram, porque voy a publicar todo el tema”, concluyó.
Además, contó que la noticia fue tan inesperada para ella que decidió realizarse cuatro pruebas de embarazo antes de convencerse completamente del resultado.
La empresaria también reveló que ya conserva algunas prendas para el bebé, entre ellas un regalo que recibió de su hermana Claudia Calderón. Mientras tanto, sus seguidores continúan atentos a las publicaciones que realizará en los próximos meses, a la espera de conocer nuevos detalles sobre esta etapa y sobre la llegada del primer hijo de la influenciadora.
UPDATE (June 10): AMC Theatres announced that the Arena One screenings originally scheduled for June have been postponed to later this year.
“Week after week in 2026, the domestic box office performance has exceeded or met expectations,” said a statement from AMC Theatres sent to Billboard. “With a robust lineup of films and strong advance ticket sales in the weeks ahead, AMC is making some programming adjustments during the month of June.
“As part of those adjustments, the previously announced Arena One at AMC Girls Night Live concert series featuring Maren Morris, Paris Hilton, Kim Petras, and Bebe Rexha will move to later in 2026. Tickets purchased for the originally scheduled events have been automatically refunded.
“AMC is very excited about its partnership with Arena One, and we look forward to announcing updated dates and additional artists in the weeks and months ahead.”

Your favorite performer is coming to a movie cinema near you.
Bebe Rexha, Paris Hilton, Maren Morris and Kim Petras are among the first wave of artists participating in new, interactive concert experience that will beam the show into hundreds of theaters across the United States.
Arena One, the new live entertainment company, and AMC Theatres, the giant theatrical exhibitor, join forces for Arena One at AMC, a real-time, interactive concert format that will be pumped into 300 AMC locations in 89 markets from June.
The concerts are an upgrade from the cinecast experience that found traction with some a-list artists and their fans in the late 2000s, when a slew of live concerts and exclusive events were fed into participating cinemas.
Through this new concept, announced this week, the artist will perform on Arena One’s purpose-built stage, while “seeing and responding to fans at AMC locations through innovative interactive technology,” reads a statement from organizers.
The advantages are obvious. For the artist, the initiative enables them to reach more fans, in more places, without hitting the road. And for those fans who can’t physical get to see their hero, due to cost, distance or other reasons, they now have a virtual front-row seat.
“The next chapter of live shows isn’t about proximity to big venues, it’s about creating visceral, intimate, affordable live connection between artists and fans no matter where they are,” explains Rohit Kapoor, founder and chief creative officer of Arena One. “Arena One gives artists a new cinema-native canvas to create live performances, while amplifying the raw energy and shared fandom that makes live shows unforgettable.”
First up, Bebe Rexha will perform an Arena One at AMC concert June 17, followed by Paris Hilton (June 18), Kim Petras (June 19) and Maren Morris (June 20).
Ticketholders will soak up an atmosphere that’s “designed to feel immediate and electric, featuring powerful sound, massive screens,” comfortable seats, and more, reads a statement.
“We consider this to be a major announcement,” explains Adam Aron, chairman and CEO of AMC Entertainment, and an “innovative step forward” for the business.
Additional artists and dates will be announced in the coming weeks, with ticket prices varying by market.
“We built a cinematic stage optimized to translate seamlessly to cinemas, but artists are defining what it becomes,” adds Peter Hamilton, CEO of Arena One. “They’re not adapting tours; they’re building something new. That’s when a medium sparks reinvention.”
Showtimes are available on AMCTheatres.com, the AMC Mobile App, and at arenaonelive.com/shows.
Shakira and Burna Boy’s “Dai Dai” has been named the best World Cup song of all time by Billboard readers.
In a poll published by Billboard on June 1, we asked our readers to vote for the best soccer anthem. The list included the 10 official songs released by the Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA) since 1990 to today, from the first official song, “Un’estate italiana (To Be Number One),” performed by Edoardo Bennato and Gianna Nannini for the 1990 games in Italy to the most recent “Dai Dai” for the 2026 match.

The latter ultimately won the poll with more than 31 percent of the vote. Shakira’s own “Waka Waka (This Time for Africa),” which she recorded with Freshlyground for the 2010 World Cup, came in a very close second with more than 26 percent of the vote.
In May, Shak and Burna joined forces for this year’s official FIFA World Cup song, blending Afrobeats, dance-pop, world beats and reggaetón, and sending an uplifting message that’s true to the spirit of the sport. They even shout out some of the legends of the sport, including Maradona, Maldini, Romário, Cristiano Ronaldo, Beckham, Kaká and Messi.
Moreover, Ricky Martin’s “Cup of Life (La Copa de la Vida)” recorded for the 1998 World Cup tournament in France ended up in third place with almost 25 percent of the vote. The euphoric and timeless bop ultimately became a defining moment in the Puerto Rican artist’s career with the song peaking at No. 60 on the Billboard Hot 100 and winning a Grammy for best Latin pop performance.
Other fan favorites included “Ole Ola (We Are One)” by Pitbull, Jennifer Lopez, and Claudia Leitte as well as “The Time of Our Lives” by Il Divo and Tony Braxton.

CeeLo knows who he wants to go up against in a VERZUZ battle, and his pick makes sense when you truly consider it.
He recently sat down with Rickey Smiley and was asked who he would go against if he ever participated in the popular music matchup series. “I would probably had to go up against Lauryn Hill,” he answered while acknowledging their mutual respect and ability to both sing and rap. “But she’s like my sister, and we were all together at the Kanye show, too. So, shouts out to the queen Ms. Hill.”

He added: “But it would just be nothing but a love affair because we did our first tours together. We’ve been friends for years, and she’s a Gemini twin just like me. So that’s my twin sister — but she does rap and sing at the same time, you know? I think I would have to be paired up with somebody who has somewhat of the same dynamic.”
Prior to his answer about a solo VERZUZ, he suggested that his Dungeon Family collective featuring the likes of Organized Noize, OutKast, Goodie Mob, Future and others would likely have to go up against another large collective like the crew out of Staten Island. “Wu-Tang came up because they’re a large collective,” he said before admitting that they might have them beat in terms of straight up bars. “But just straight ahead rap? I think they’re better. And not even to compare, I’m just a fan of theirs, right? But Dungeon Family is just unique in a way where we did it all. I do think that we might be the most critical and commercially acclaimed large collective that hip-hop has given birth to. Ain’t nobody, ain’t nothing like the Dungeon Family.”

Despite releasing her 12th studio album The Life of a Showgirl in 2025, the last time Taylor Swift mounted a proper performance was way back in December 2024, during her final stop on The Eras Tour. But on Tuesday night, Swift was back behind a piano to live-debut “I Knew It, I Knew You,” her just-released song from Toy Story 5, at the Disney Pixar film’s world premiere, and we were among the lucky few inside Hollywood’s Dolby Theatre for the surprise set.
On the new Billboard Pop Shop Podcast, Katie tells Keith all about what it was like inside the room when Swift popped onstage for her own solo performance as well as a special duet with Toy Story musical mastermind Randy Newman for “You’ve Got a Friend in Me.” Hear all about it — no movie spoilers, we promise! — below:

That’s one of the several Marlo Stanfield lines Jay-Z referenced during his viral “Roots Picnic Freestyle” from the critically acclaimed HBO series The Wire. Jamie Hector, who played the ice cold villain, recently stopped by Way Up with Angela Yee and spoke on how he found out about being mentioned by Jigga during such a monumental moment.

“I was grateful. It was a great feeling,” he said. “You know, Jay is the head honcho, right? He gets it done. And he was gone for a minute and then when he decides to reappear and get onstage, he starts talking about the work that was created — ’cause it was art that was created, right? And it’s placed onscreen. Coming from an artist paying homage, and showing love and respect to it, and who it’s coming from, as well. It felt great. And not to mention, my phone started blowing up. I’m talking about coming from everybody. And I was like, “What’s going on?”
He was then asked by Angela’s co-host B-Dot his thoughts on the character he helped make famous becoming a favorite reference for rappers in general, and Hector showed nothing but appreciation for being acknowledged by other artists for his work. “I mean, I appreciate it because the work was done,” he replied. “It’s a collaboration. They’re talking about the character and everything like that, but the character wouldn’t exist without the entire show, without the writing, without the director, without the producers, without everybody putting everything together. Developing that character was fun, it was work, and hopefully it’s timeless. And what do I feel about them mentioning it? I feel good, keep it alive.”
Yee then asked if his kids were aware of his chilling turn as a cold-blooded drug dealer, and he said that his 16-year-old daughter is watching the series for the first time and actually just started the third season while his nine-year-old son has just seen clips online. “My daughter is watching it now and my son, he catches clips and he just be like, ‘You evil.’”

Beyond being three of the world’s biggest girl groups, what do KATSEYE, LE SSERAFIM and ILLIT have in common? They’ve all experienced their fair share of hate.
Luckily, the performers also know that the Internet trolls and negativity just means that they have your attention, which is the thesis of “Iconic by Mistake,” their new three-way collaboration. The song doesn’t arrive for two more days, but on Wednesday (June 10), the trio premiered the track by unleashing the cinematic music video.

In the visually stunning video, KATSEYE, LE SSERAFIM and ILLIT appear in a series of chaotic settings, from driving and crashing trucks late at night on the highway to robbing graves in a cemetery, pulling teeth in a creepy dentist’s office and starting a fire in a cornfield after causing an electrical explosion with power lines.
“Hating me is like all you do/ Breakfast to dinner/ Algorithm bulletproof,” the ladies sing. “Breaking your fingers/ Thank you for the comments/ It’s because of all your hate/ I am iconic by mistake.”
All three girl groups are signed to HYBE. Their collision will continue when “Iconic by Mistake” arrives on streaming services at midnight ET first thing Friday (June 12).
The new song comes as something of a detour on KATSEYE’s rollout for upcoming EP Wild, which will feature Billboard Hot 100 hit lead single “Pinky Up.” LE SSERAFIM is fresh off the release of Billboard 200 No. 10 album Pureflow Pt. 1 in May, while “Iconic by Mistake” follows April mini album MAMIHLAPINATAPAI for ILLIT.
