LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Sean "Diddy" Combs took to social media on Saturday, May 4,  to post a cryptic message about staying "steady in the storm" as he continues to deal with a ton of legal issues.

The Instagram post, which is Diddy's first since April 15, contained a video, which opened with the camera panning down a white hallway before he was seen hugging someone.

In the background, a narrator can be heard saying, "Not hysterical. Not frantic. Not anxious. Not fretful."

Subsequently, Diddy was seen standing with a group of individuals who appeared to be praying. He was then captured standing on a windswept, stormy beach, arms wide open. 

"But steady in the storm. Looks bad, looks tough, but remains steady in the storm," stressed the narrator as the video ended. 

Diddy is being sued for alleged sexual assault by Joi Dickerson-Neal, his former music producer Rodney "Lil Rod" Jones, Liza Gardner, and a woman going by the name Jane Doe.

Trouble for the musician began when several women came forward accusing him of rape. Among them was his ex-girlfriend Casandra "Cassie" Ventura, who later reached a settlement with Diddy over her lawsuit, as per OK! Magazine.

Diddy has denied all the allegations brought against him. 

His attorneys have recently filed a move to dismiss several of the allegations in the Dickerson-Neal lawsuit, citing "statutes that did not exist at the time the alleged misconduct occurred and against corporate entities that were not formed or in existence."

The rapper is additionally facing a business complaint, alleging he failed to pay a New Orleans design firm $100,000 in materials costs after the event it was intended for got postponed, Fox News reported. 

Netizens slam Sean 'Diddy' Combs over his cryptic Instagram post

Internet users flocked to the comments section of Diddy's post to ruthlessly condemn the rapper with one user writing, "Sometimes we create our own 'storms' and then get mad when it rains."

Another snarked, "Diddy about to release Jesus walks remix," while a person labeled the post, "Narcissistic behavior."

Others took to X (formerly Twitter) to slam the rapper, with one stating, "Sounds like classic Diddy, always trying to spin things and stay on top, even when the heat's on."

"How about you live a decent and moral life then the storms are few and even if you have a row boat instead of a yacht they are easily weathered. Live by sin, die by sin," suggested another person. 

A netizen expressed, "He thinks he's untouchable. Maybe he is in this life, but there's a judge who money cannot buy. Hopefully Diddy thinks about that more than his earthly persona and wealth."
