Industry insiders have been speculating about whether party regular Sean “Diddy” Combs will be there as he battles abuse allegation, after they noticed his picture was barely included in this year’s photo montage. (Only a sliver of the rapper and mogul’s face can be seen). A rep for Davis assured us his photo wasn’t sidelined intentionally and that “different artists, guests and performers are changed from year to year.”

What do you think? Post a comment.

Still, we’re told Combs will not be attending the awards ceremony and will likely sit out Davis’ party this year.
