Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs’ key to Miami Beach will be rescinded and taken back by the city.
On an unspecified, future date, the Floridian city will be revoking the honor and withdrawing the ceremonial key they gave the disgraced rapper, 54, back in October 2015.
This comes after the music mogul’s arrest, sex trafficking indictment and the growing number of accusations against him.
Several months earlier, Combs was also asked to return New York’s Key to the City.
He was also previously awarded the ceremonial key from Chicago, but it is unclear if the Windy City has also followed suit in rescinding the honor.

Miami city officials are in final negotiations to rescind the key imminently, however, the exact day the change will be finalized has not yet been confirmed due to Hurricane Milton, per TMZ.
The storm is expected to hit Florida on Wednesday, and insiders told the outlet that’s why the rescission has been delayed.
Back in 2015, the former mayor, Philip Levine, presented the honorary key to the city to Combs during the Revolt Music Conference at the Fontainebleau in the vibrant city.
The city has also awarded keys to the city to other Hollywood stars including Combs’ ex, Jennifer Lopez.
This comes shortly after Combs returned the Key to the City to New York City in June after Mayor Eric Adams requested it back in a letter.
In his letter, he asked for the key to be reclaimed after the emergence of a video showing Combs assaulting his ex-girlfriend, Cassie Ventura, in hotel surveillance footage and the ensuing controversy.
The mayor sent the embattled rapper a letter, in which he stated that he stands with survivors of domestic abuse.
He also noted that the Key to the City is awarded to model citizens and said that Combs no longer met the criteria for selection.

Disturbing footage of the Democrat leader of the Big Apple, who is currently facing criminal charges himself, handing Combs the key resurfaced last month — almost exactly one year after he presented the ceremonial honor to the rapper.
Previously, Combs was also awarded Chicago’s Key to the City in October 2006, receiving the honor from former Mayor Richard Daley.
Combs is currently in jail after he was arrested in New York City last month.
He is facing sex trafficking charges and is awaiting his impending trial as well as also facing more than 100 sexual misconduct allegations against him.
Less than a week earlier, an attorney announced that he is representing 120 accusers who have come forward with sexual misconduct allegations against the hip-hop mogul.

Houston attorney Tony Buzbee said he expects lawsuits to be filed within the next month, with most expected to be filed in New York and Los Angeles.
Buzbee described the victims as 60 males and 60 females, and that 25 were minors at the time of the alleged misconduct.
One individual alleged he was only age nine when he was abused, Buzbee said. The allegations cover a period from 1991 to this year.
‘This type of sexual assault, sexual abuse, sexual exploitation should never happen in the United States or anywhere else. This should have never been allowed to go on for so long. This conduct has created a mass of individuals who are injured, scared and scarred,’ Buzbee said at a news conference.
