After a video of Diddy assaulting Cassie came to light, New York Mayor Eric Adams and his team had a difficult decision to make about the rapper and his key to the city.
Several reports suggest that a council member from New York City thinks Nas ought to take his position as pressure mounts to remove Diddy’s honorary key to New York City.
Mayor Eric Adams of New York City has been under pressure from several council members to return the symbolic key after it was discovered that the Bad Boy entrepreneur had attacked his ex-girlfriend on camera.
Sandy Nurse, one of the council members who spoke with TMZ, stated that Mayor Adams ought to take urgent action to revoke Diddy’s key to the city.
“Diddy should be held responsible for his acts as an abuser, as he forfeited his right to receive such an accolade. Mayor Adams ought to lead by example and remove it,” Nurse reportedly stated.

Shaun Abreu, a fellow council member said that Mayor Adams ought to take back Diddy’s key and shut the door on him. “You won’t be missed by us.”
Additionally, councilman Justin Brannan suggested Nas as a substitute for Diddy, referring to the Queensbridge rapper as the “G.O.A.T.”
Two months before being sued by Cassie for a variety of offenses, including sexual assault, Diddy was given the city’s key.
Mayor Adams has mentioned that the key may be revoked to that effect. Speaking about the video of Diddy’s attack, Adams is said to have stated in a PIX11 interview last week that:
“I believe that after witnessing that terrifying footage of the young woman being attacked by him, we were all really horrified.”
The committee and the team, he said, had never before revoked a key, but they were now sitting down to discuss what the next steps should be.
“We are analyzing everything, and the team will get back to me with a decision in the end”.
The alleged video, which CNN was able to get weeks ago, depicts Diddy assaulting Cassie in a hotel hallway in 2016.
Should Nas accept Diddy’s New York City Key as he is the only name that has surfaced in the media so far to be a contender for the honor?
