Two more alleged victims have sued Diddy, including a man who claimed the rapper drugged him with a laced drink before raping him at a Miami after-party.
Tony Buzbee, the attorney leading the charge for 120 of the disgraced rapper's alleged victims, filed two more lawsuits against the rapper, who has been held in jail for months following allegations of years-long horrific abuse.
TMZ reported that a Florida man, who goes by John Doe, claimed he was drugged with a laced drink, before waking up naked and witnessing Diddy, whose real name is Sean Combs, raping him at a Miami after-party after meeting him at a night-club.
Diddy allegedly continued to rape him while wearing a 'disturbing smile'. John Doe said the drugs in his system made it impossible to fight back.
He said he woke up the next day, was handed his clothes back and was escorted out of the residence to be dropped off at the nightclub he and others were partying.
The other new accuser, going by Jane Doe, claimed she was handed a laced drink, and that she was made to perform oral sex on six members of his security team and himself in a black limousine.
She claimed that she wasn't allowed to leave until she gave everyone oral sex, and that throughout the assault Diddy kept calling her derogatory names and sprayed champagne on her.
Both victims are reportedly suing the Bad Boys founder for damages.

DailyMail.com has contacted Diddy's attorney, Marc Agnifilo, for comment.
Diddy has been held since his September arrest on charges that he coerced and abused women for years with the aid of a network of associates and employees. An indictment accuses him of silencing victims through blackmail and violence, including kidnapping, arson and physical beatings.
He has pleaded not guilty to the charges and is currently seeking to be freed to house arrest through a $50 million bail package.
The latest lawsuits come after Diddy's lawyers requested he be allowed to appear unshackled for all future court appearances.
'We write on behalf of our client, Mr. Sean Combs, to respectfully request that the Court direct the United States Marshals Service to unshackle Mr. Combs prior to bringing him into the courtroom for tomorrow's hearing and for all future court appearances,' the legal request said, as reported by People.
Agnifilo pointed out that Diddy, 54, was in leg shackles during his previous court appearance on October 10 'without any justification.'
The defense attorney claimed the shackles raised 'paramount concern' about 'juror bias.' He added the restraints also 'interfere with the accused's ability to communicate with his lawyer' and go against the 'respectful treatment of defendants.'
'Given the press attention on the pretrial proceedings in this case, there is a substantial risk that potential jurors will learn about the shackling through the media and develop such a bias,' Agnifio wrote.

'This is a matter of grave concern that, most respectfully, must be addressed immediately,' the lawyers told Judge Arun Subramanian, who already has scheduled a bail hearing for Friday for Diddy.
They requested an 'immediate hearing' so prosecutors can explained who authorized the search of the rapper's cell, where personal effects and paperwork were seized.
Later Monday, prosecutors responded to the claims with a letter to the judge saying that the inspection of Diddy's cell was part of a jail-wide, safety-related sweep unrelated to him or his prosecution.

They said the search was planned before the music mogul was arrested and was properly carried out with an investigator who entered Diddy's cell and decided to not examine a manila envelop labeled 'legal' that was in the cell.
They added that any potentially privileged materials were viewed first by a 'filter team' of government lawyers not working on the case. The team was tasked with weeding out any confidential communications protected by attorney-client privilege so that trial prosecutors couldn't see them.
The court heard feds also seized Diddy's 'Things to Do' list, which included telling a family member to 'find dirt' on two alleged victims, as well as pages in which he wrote 'inspirational' quotes for himself.
Agnifilo called the pre-planned sweep a 'pretext' for a prison investigator to target Diddy – real name Sean Combs.
The potential remedy could include the 'dismissal of the indictment', he said, or the recusal of the prosecution team.
'We don't know enough to say which is the reasonable remedy', he told the court.
