Diddy is no longer affiliated with Peloton. The fitness company has decided to stop using the rapper's music due to a video showing him assaulting his ex-girlfriend, Cassie, back in 2016. TMZ first reported this news.
Peloton has taken the matter seriously and has decided to stop using Sean Combs' music and has removed the Bad Boy Entertainment Artist Series from the platform. This decision was communicated in a message on the private members' Facebook group, as reported by TMZ.
Instructors will no longer be using Sean Combs' music in newly produced classes. Peloton appreciates the concerns shared by users and values their membership in the Peloton community.
“Dear Peloton, Your next purge needs to be all Diddy classes. Signed, women everywhere,” the Peloton user wrote in the Facebook group.

Diddy, who is 54 years old, posted an apology on his Instagram on Sunday, May 19. This came after CNN released security camera footage of the assault on Friday, May 17.
In a video, Diddy mentioned, "It's hard to look back on the toughest moments in your life, but sometimes you have to. I was in a bad place. I hit rock bottom, but I won't make any excuses. The way I acted in that video is unforgivable. I take full responsibility for my actions. I am truly disgusted."
The rapper shared, "I've been seeking help from professionals and attending therapy and rehab. I've also prayed for God's mercy and grace. I apologize for my actions and am dedicated to becoming a better person every day. I'm not expecting forgiveness, but I am genuinely sorry."
Diddy added in his post, "I sincerely apologize."
Attorneys representing Cassie responded to Diddy's apology in a statement to Us, stating that the video "focuses more on himself rather than the many people he has harmed."
Meredith Firetog, a partner at Wigdor LLP, mentioned that when Cassie and other women came forward, Diddy denied everything and insinuated that his accusers were seeking monetary gain. Firetog pointed out that Diddy only felt compelled to issue an "apology" after his repeated denials were proven false, showing his desperate attempt to save face. The attorneys emphasized that his insincere words will not sway anyone.
In November 2023, Cassie filed a lawsuit against Diddy, accusing him of rape and abuse. The case was settled out of court the same month.
