Sean "Diddy" Combs is no longer under investigation by the NYPD following allegations that he roughed up longtime friend Steven Acevedo during an incident last month at Manhattan's Kiosk nightclub.
"I've been informed by the Manhattan District Attorney's Office that after a thorough investigation, they have made a decision not to authorize any arrests in connection with the incident involving Mr. Combs and Steven Acevedo on Oct. 13," Diddy's lawyer, Benjamin Brafman, said in a statement to E! News.
"I want to commend the D.A.'s office and the New York City Police Department for conducting a thorough and very fair investigation into this incident and not allowing this private disagreement between two acquaintances to turn into a criminal charge."
Acevedo, 31, had filed a police report accusing Diddy of punching him in the face during an argument over a woman. Acevedo reportedly suffered a bloody nose and swollen lip, according to the New York Post.
Meanwhile, Diddy is still the subject of a $5 million lawsuit brought by hip-hop promoter James Waldon, who claims he was assaulted by Diddy's bodyguards at a New York club last June.
