The majority of the individuals represented by Mr Buzbee’s firm are from California, New York, Georgia and Florida, with accusers from more than 25 states in total.
Combs faces multiple other lawsuits filed in the last year, and the latest claims also follow a video that emerged in May showing him attacking his ex-girlfriend, Cassie.
He apologised at the time for what he called his “inexcusable” behaviour in the video, saying he was “disgusted” by what he did.
Combs has been imprisoned at the Metropolitan Detention Centre in Brooklyn, New York, since he pleaded not guilty on 17 September to charges that he used his “power and prestige” to induce women into drugged-up sexual performances with male sex workers. These were allegedly dubbed “Freak Offs”.
He has also pleaded not guilty to racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking and vowed to fight to clear his name.
Combs’s lawyers offered a $50m (£37.8m) bail package in exchange for him to be placed under house arrest at his Florida mansion with GPS monitoring and strict limits on visitors. So far though, his legal team’s applications for bail have been denied.
Combs, who has won three Grammys, founded Bad Boy Records in 1993 and is one of the best-known music executives and performers in hip-hop.
