Rauw Alejandro is experiencing one of the most exciting moments of his career. He recently released his latest studio album after undergoing a complex process of personal introspection. Cosa Nuestra, launched on November 15, 2024, is a tribute to his Puerto Rican roots and classic salsa music. Inspired by the Italian «Cosa Nostra,» the studio work fuses genres such as salsa, reggaeton, Latin trap, bolero, jazz, and merengue, showcasing the singer’s artistic versatility.
It’s no secret that Rauw’s international presence is at its peak, including significant success in the U.S. market. Recently, he performed Qué Pasaría, his collaboration with Bad Bunny, on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. He is also among the top 10 most-streamed artists globally on platforms like Spotify in December.
This steady rise to the top has also led Rauw to mingle with the jet set from various countries. In the U.S., for instance, he was spotted at an Inter Miami soccer match alongside Diddy, who has undoubtedly been at the center of this year’s biggest scandal: dozens of lawsuits and over a hundred allegations of sexual assault dating back to the early 2000s, the latest involving Jay-Z.

The Relationship between Rauw Alejandro and Diddy
Photos of Rauw and Diddy date back to July 2023, during a match of the famous sports club owned by David Beckham. Miami was playing against Atlanta United at the DRV PNK Stadium, and the two were seated together. Diddy attended the game with DJ Khaled.
During El Vacilón, a show on NYC’s MEGA radio station, the hosts jokingly asked Rauw about his connection to Diddy after these images resurfaced.
«I see where you’re going with this…» Rauw replied, laughing along with the hosts. «That was, like, three years ago,» the artist explained.
In reality, amid the hosts’ jokes asking things like, «What oil did he recommend to you?» (This is because, during police raids on his properties, authorities confiscated more than 1,000 bottles of baby oil and lubricant. Some allegations claim that Diddy used the oil mixed with GHB, a drug known as «liquid ecstasy,» to subdue his victims). Rauw tried to clarify that he didn’t really know who Diddy was at the time and couldn’t understand him very well.
«I don’t know much about the guy… I didn’t even know what he was saying. I was focused on the game. He speaks English really weird,» the Puerto Rican artist revealed.
Indeed, the photos show Diddy seemingly trying to strike up a conversation with him.
«He said something about working on an album or something like that,» Rauw clarified. «I never went to those parties,» he added unprompted, referencing the rapper’s infamous white parties. These events, known among the elite for their extravagance, have recently been accused of having a dark side, with allegations of chemical submission and other types of abuse.
