Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs has been accused in two new lawsuits of drugging and sexually assaulting a 10-year-old boy in a New York hotel room in 2005.
The second lawsuit accuses the jailed hip-hop mogul of attacking a 17-year-old would-be contestant on the reality TV series Making the Band in 2008.
The civil suits filed in the state Supreme Court in New York are the latest in a wave of lawsuits in which accusers allege they were sexually assaulted by Combs at parties and meetings over the last two decades.
Combs' lawyers denied the two new claims, accusing lawyer Anthony Buzbee, who also represents claimants in earlier lawsuits, of using the suits as a way to seek publicity.
"Mr Combs and his legal team have full confidence in the facts and the integrity of the judicial process," the legal team said in a statement.
"In court, the truth will prevail: that Mr Combs never sexually assaulted or trafficked anyone-man or woman, adult or minor."
Combs, 54, is currently in custody in a New York City jail on federal sex trafficking charges, which he denies.
The hip hop mogul was arrested on September 16 on charges of sex trafficking, racketeering and sexual assault and other crimes at alleged parties dubbed “Freak Offs”.
Prosecutors claim he coerced and abused women and silenced victims through blackmail and violence.
The new lawsuit states the 10-year-old boy was an aspiring actor and rapper who had travelled with his parents from California for meetings with music industry representatives.
During what was supposed to be an audition for Combs, he was instead given a drug-laced soft drink by a Combs' associate and sexually assaulted by the Bad Boy Records founder, it claims.
The boy eventually lost consciousness and when he awoke, Combs threatened to badly hurt the child's parents if he told anyone what happened, the filing said.
In the second lawsuit, a 17-year-old boy said Combs forced him into sexual acts with both the rapper and a bodyguard during a three-day audition for the Making the Band TV show, which Combs produced.
According to court documents, when the aspiring contestant expressed reservations, he was eliminated from the competition.
The lawsuit also claims he was unable to return to the music industry for seven years.
Both suits were brought under New York City's Victims of Gender-Motivated Violence Protection Act, which allows survivors to bring lawsuits even if the statute of limitations has passed.
Combs is one of the best-known music executives, producers and performers across hip-hop, having won three Grammys and worked with artists such as Notorious B.I.G., Mary J. Blige, Usher, Lil Kim, Faith Evans and 112.
He founded Bad Boy Records in 1993, the influential fashion line Sean John, a vodka brand and the Revolt TV network. He sold off his stake in the latter company in June of this year.
