Photos emerge of Durham student wearing mask depicting alleged sex offender Diddy

Photos have emerged of a Durham student wearing a mask depicting American rap artist and alleged sex offender Sean Combs, better known by his stage name “Diddy” or “P. Diddy”.

Combs has been charged with sex trafficking, racketeering and transportation to engage in prostitution. His case has been at the forefront of international media in the past three months.

This is not the first reported incident of university students dressing up for nights out in the form of Combs. A student at San Diego State University (SDSU) in the United States is under investigation from SDSU for his costume that involved a bottle of baby oil and blackface.

This mask is believed to have been worn as part of a Halloween costume; the photos were taken on Halloween night in popular Durham nightclub Jimmy Allen’s, located on Elvet Bridge in the city centre.

Photos were taken in the nightclub at 00:48 in the early hours of Friday morning, and appear to be situated on the back-left hand side of the dance floor, based on the artwork seen in the background of images.
