NYC council members encourage Mayor Adams to revoke Diddy’s key

The video shows Diddy‘s hotel attack from Cassie not only fuels public outrage; high-ranking New York politicians want him to suffer one immediate consequence… TMZ has learned from this.

Leaders in Diddy’s hometown are turning against him, with several New York City Council members cheering on the mayor Eric Adams to revoke the Bad Boy Records founder’s symbolic key to the city.

Councilor Sandy nurse tells TMZ… “Mayor Adams must immediately revoke Diddy’s key to the city. As an abuser, Diddy lost his right to such an honor and must be held accountable for his actions. Mayor Adams must set the example and take it away.”

Councilor Shaun Abreu expressed a similar sentiment, adding… “Mayor Adams needs to take Diddy’s key back and slam the door behind him. We won’t miss you.’

It wouldn’t be the first time the Big Apple has revoked a prestigious honor from a legendary figure. Councilor Joe Borelli reminded us Thomas Jefferson‘s statue was taken down because of a 250-year-old crime.

He adds… “So taking an honor away from a wife beater seems like the most natural thing in the world.”

Fellow councilor Justin Brannan already has a replacement in mind… suggests Nas should be given the key – calling the Queens rapper “the GOAT.”

While Mayor Adams handed the keys to the city to Diddy last September, he confirmed this weekend that his office is exploring the process of taking back the honor… and voiced his support for Cassie at a recent meeting.

Diddy has been under fire ever since video from 2016 surfaced Friday on CNN, in which he beats up his then-girlfriend in the hallway of an LA hotel. Diddy has has since apologized for the videocalled it one of the darkest periods of his life.

The disturbing images come next federal raids at the mogul’s homes in Los Angeles and Miami as part of an investigation into sex trafficking allegations, which he has denied.
