Sean "Diddy" Combs is facing a lawsuit from producer Rodney "Lil Rod" Jones, who has accused him of sexual harassment and assault. The legal filing was made on February 26, and it claims that Combs drugged and threatened Jones over the course of a year. According to the lawsuit, Jones was working on Combs' latest album and stayed and traveled with him from September 2022 to November 2023.
The lawsuit alleges that Jones was forced to engage in sexual acts with sex workers at Combs' request. These sex workers were reportedly solicited by Combs himself, and Jones had no choice but to comply. The filing also claims that Combs would drug the drinks of guests at his multiple residences during gatherings.
Jones has stated that he has evidence to support his claims, including screenshots of underage girls and sex workers at these parties, as well as recordings of Combs and his entourage engaging in illegal activities. The lawsuit also names Combs' son Justin, Universal Music Group CEO Sir Lucian Grange, and ex-Motown CEO Ethiopia Habtemariam, stating that they were all part of a "RICO Enterprise" that failed to ensure the legality and safety of Combs' actions.
Interestingly, this is not the first time Combs has faced such allegations. A previous lawsuit by his ex-girlfriend, Casandra "Cassie" Ventura, detailed years of alleged sexual abuse and resulted in a media frenzy. Although a settlement was reached the next day, Combs has since faced multiple accusations of sexual assault. In light of these controversies, he has distanced himself from his business ventures, including stepping down as chairman of Revolt TV.
Jones is seeking $30 million in damages, but Combs' lawyers have refuted his claims, calling them "outlandish." They have stated that they have concrete evidence to prove Jones' allegations false, but have been unable to reach his attorney, Tyrone Blackburn, who has refused to return their calls. Combs' lawyer, Shawn Holley, has stated that they will address these allegations in court and take appropriate action against those who make them.
