In a recent essay for The New York Times, former Vibe editor-in-chief Danyel Smith recounted a 1997 incident where Sean "Diddy" Combs allegedly threatened her life over a cover dispute. Smith claimed that after she refused Combs' demand to review his cover photos before publication—citing company policy—he responded by stating he would see her "dead in the trunk of a car." Following this threat, Smith involved her lawyer, leading to an apology faxed from Combs. Shortly thereafter, Vibe's offices experienced a theft of servers containing the magazine's content, which Smith suspected was an inside job possibly linked to Combs' associates. These revelations have resurfaced amid multiple recent allegations against Combs, including sexual assault and abuse.
