Hip-hop star Diddy will reportedly not attend the 2024 Grammys, even though he's a nominee.

The mogul was nominated in the Progressive R&B Album category for his The Love Album: Off the Grid at this year's ceremony. However, his representatives told the Hollywood Reporter on Friday that he's skipping the ceremony set for Feb. 4.

The Messenger has reached out to Diddy's team for comment.

The news comes after his former long-term girlfriend, Cassie, accused him of sexual and physical violence in a $30 million lawsuit in December. Diddy settled with Cassie just two days later, before more accusations and lawsuits against Diddy began piling up. He has denied all of the accusations.

Following the legal action, the Recording Academy told RadarOnline that it is "taking this matter very seriously and we are in the process of evaluating it with the time and care that it deserves."

Diddy was last nominated for the Grammys in 2004 for "Shake Ya Tailfeather" with Nelly and Murphy Lee, ultimately winning for Best Rap Performance by a Group or Duo. He has received three gramophones since 1998.

Trevor Noah hosts the 66th Annual Grammy Awards, airing Sunday, Feb. 4, on CBS.
