Sean Love Combs, known by his stage name Diddy, is being sued for sexual assault by a former male employee. Music producer Rodney Jones Jr. filed a lawsuit on Monday, accusing the rapper of forcing him to make sexual contact while they worked on an album. Diddy allegedly forced him to hire prostitutes and engage in sexual activities with them. While working on Combs’ latest album, known as ‘The Love Album,’ Diddy allegedly touched Jones’ private parts and convinced him to engage in intercourse with other men, saying it is quite common in the music industry. However, a lawyer representing the hip-hop mogul has denied all allegations.

As per a report by The New York Times, Sean Combs’ lawyer, Shawn Holley, said,

Lil Rod is nothing more than a liar who filed a $30 million lawsuit shamelessly looking for an undeserved payday. His reckless name-dropping about events that are pure fiction and simply did not happen is nothing more than a transparent attempt to garner headlines. We have overwhelming, indisputable proof that his claims are complete lies.

The lawsuit was filed on Monday by Rodney “Lil Rod” Jones in the New York federal court. It claims that Combs has sexually harassed him for more than a year and threatened the producer with violence. Jones has also mentioned in the legal documents that he was forced to drink alcohol-containing drugs. After he drank, he passed out and woke up to find himself naked and asleep next to a sex worker. Lil Rod is seeking $30 million in damages.

In November 2023, Diddy was accused by his ex-girlfriend of rape. Casandra Ventura, signed to the rapper’s label under the name Cassie, filed a lawsuit accusing him of rape and years of physical and sexual abuse. It came into the headlines; however, the suit was settled within a day. Combs has also faced three other sexual assault allegations and has denied all of them.
