Last year, allegations of sexual violence were made against rapper Sean “Diddy” Combs. Now it turns out that another person has sued the 54-year-old musician for the same reasons. Music producer Rodney “Lil Rod” Jones, who produced nine songs on Combs’ latest album, accused him of harassment, sexual assault and forcing him to have intimate contact with sex workers.
The famous American rapper received another lawsuit. Again, this is about sexual assault
According to “”, the lawsuit was filed in federal court in New York on February 26, 2024. From the 73-page letter we can read that Jones was allegedly molested and drugged for over a year. In addition, the rapper allegedly threatened him, sexually assaulted him and forced him to have sex with sex workers.
The music producer is now seeking $30 million in damages and names other people he believes “failed to adequately monitor, warn or supervise” Combs’ actions. These people include: Combs’ son, Justin; Chief of Staff Kristina Khorram; Universal Music Group CEO Lucian Grainge and former Motown Records CEO Ethiopia Habtemariam.
Jones also made a lengthy list of accusations in the lawsuit. It alleges that Combs purchased, used and distributed ecstasy, cocaine and other illegal drugs. He also allegedly showed him illegally obtained firearms and packaged alcoholic beverages that were allegedly distributed to minors and sex workers in his various homes. However, the lawsuit withheld the names of the rapper and R&B singer who “had contacts with underage girls and sex workers.”
Court documents also show that Jones lived with Combs from September 2022 to November 2023 while they worked together on the rapper’s new album. Thanks to this, he will have evidence that proves the rapper’s guilt. “Mr. Jones witnessed and experienced things that went far beyond the responsibilities of his role as a producer. He was required to continuously record the accused. As a result, Mr. Jones secured hundreds of recordings that constitute evidence of the criminal activities of the defendant and members of his staff” – we read.
The musician does not comment, but his lawyer shares a statement. He calls the plaintiff a liar
Although Sean “Diddy” Combs himself did not comment on the case, his lawyer Shawn Holley provided a statement to Variety. “Lil Rod is simply a liar who shamelessly demands payment of huge, undeserved compensation. The events described in the lawsuit are pure fiction. We will address these bizarre allegations in court and take appropriate action against the people who make them,” we read.
Let us recall that the rapper faced similar accusations in November 2023. Then, the singer Cassandra “Cassie” Ventura, who had the hit “Me & U” in the 00s, sued him for sexual assault. The artist, who is also his former partner, accused him of rape and abuse. In court documents, she described him as a “serial domestic abuser” who abused her physically and mentally. However, the next day, the two sides reached an agreement, concluding a settlement, the details of which were not made public. In December, another woman accused the star of rape and distributing pornographic materials with her participation.
