A top Los Angeles music manager who represents Machine Gun Kelly and once boasted of his links to disgraced rapper Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs has been accused of sexually assaulting his 20-year-old neighbor, DailyMail.com can exclusively reveal.
Aaron ‘Ace’ Christian, 36, is alleged to have carried out the attack at the woman’s home in June and has since threatened her and her boyfriend by making throat-cutting motions towards them from his balcony, according to a temporary restraining order obtained by DailyMail.com.
The self-described ‘artist manager’, who has also represented Wyclef Jean, Mod Sun, and Chance The Rapper, has over 19,000 followers on Instagram where has been heavily promoting client, rapper Cordae, in recent months.
Last week, the alleged victim – whose identity is being withheld by DailyMail.com – filed a police report against the Massachusetts-born music mogul, accusing him of forcing her to perform oral sex on him during the late night attack.
According to an account of the incident included in the application for the restraining order – which was granted on an initial basis – Christian had been invited to the woman’s apartment to spend time with her boyfriend.
The dad-of-one arrived with his girlfriend, but she left early in the evening to put their five-year-old son to bed.

The victim says she was eventually left alone with him after her boyfriend went upstairs to sleep – only for Christian to allegedly attack her as she cleaned up.
She said: ‘Suddenly he approached me from behind and started grabbing my waist, saying “you know you want me”.’
Despite repeatedly saying no and moving away from Christian, the victim claims he cornered her and grabbed her throat before exposing himself while screaming: ‘Suck my d*** b***h’.
She added: ‘Considering he had me by the throat which had never happened to me before, I felt so scared and knew I had no other choice.
‘I was pushed to my knees while his hand was still gripping my throat and I was forced to perform oral on him.’
Although Christian left shortly after the alleged attack, the victim says she was left traumatized and in tears ‘because I was raped in my own home’.

She says she initially kept the attack quiet for fear of what her boyfriend might say – even socializing with Christian and his girlfriend in the months following the alleged assault.
But, she says, that led to the 36-year-old continuing to sexually harass her whenever her boyfriend was out of the room.
The alleged victim said: ‘I tried my best to forget about it and continued to act cool around Aaron but even as I tried to avoid being alone with him at all costs, he got worse.
‘On multiple occasions after the incident, any time we were alone for even a split second or when my BF would go to the bathroom, Aaron would grab my face aggressively and forcefully kiss me as I would pull away and tell him no every single time.’
Eventually, she said, her boyfriend noticed a marked decline in her mental health that included insomnia and a short temper.
He confronted her and, she says, ‘I broke down crying and told him everything’.

Last week, she reported the incident to the LAPD although they are yet to arrest Christian.
Christian did not respond to a DailyMail.com request for comment. He is from New Bedford, Massachusetts, and attended St. Andrews University in North Carolina on a basketball scholarship.
After graduating, he moved to Tempe, Arizona, where he worked for cigarette paper company Raw Rolling Papers.
In 2019, he moved to LA where he began managing Grammy-nominated rapper Cordae – a role he still holds.
Christian also works for talent management company The Range which represents Halle Berry and Michael Fassbender among others, although neither are his clients.
According to his Linkedin page, Christian has also worked with Asher Roth, Keyshia Cole and MTV.
Last year, Christian gave an interview to Springhill – an ’empowerment brand’ founded by LeBron James and Maverick Carter.
The 2023 interview, titled ‘Call My People: A Conversation with Aaron ‘Ace’ Christian’ and posted on Springhill’s YouTube channel, saw him boast about his visits to Diddy’s New Jersey studio as well as his work with Cordae.
