Diddy sued for sexual assault by former male employee
Sean Combs, better known as Diddy. has just been sued by a man claiming the music mogul sexually assaulted him.
Rodney Jones, a former producer and videographer for Diddy, claims in legal documents that he was repeatedly sexually assaulted by Diddy and subjected to unwanted advances by associates of Diddy at his direction.
Jones claims Diddy, among other things, would grope Jones’ genitals and touch his anus. He also alleged that Diddy would parade around naked in front of him.
Jones believes Diddy was trying to groom him into having sex. He says Diddy would downplay the alleged assaults as “horseplay.”
Jones goes on to allege Diddy forced him to watch a video involving Stevie J having sex with another man. Jones included a screen grab of the video in the legal documents seen by TMZ.
Jones also alleged that a female cousin of Diddy’s girlfriend, Yung Miami, also sexually assaulted him, allegedly attempting to have sex with him in front of Diddy and members of his staff.
Jones further claimed Diddy brought prostitutes to his house in Miami and on one occasion, Jones says he was present at the house and was drugged and possibly raped.
He also alleges at several parties, Diddy intentionally served women bottles of his tequila and vodka brands laced with drugs. There are more allegations, including bringing underage girls to Diddy’s home and providing them with alcohol.
Jones claims Diddy directed American DJ Stevie J and his son Justin Combs to recruit prostitutes. In Diddy’s son Justin’s case, he was instructed to find underaged girls to attend the parties.
Jones claims Diddy introduced him to Cuba Gooding Jr. on Diddy’s yacht and Cuba allegedly began “touching, groping, and fondling Mr. Jones’s legs, his upper inner thighs near his groin, the small of his back near his buttocks and his shoulders.”
There are also allegations of a shooting, where Jones says Diddy and his son Justin got into a heated argument at an L.A. recording studio. Jones says gunfire erupted and a man named G was hit and bleeding profusely from his stomach.
Jones says Diddy told him to lie to cops and say G was shot in a drive-by.
The LAPD investigated the shooting and reportedly found the victim had been shot outside the studio during a robbery, and merely ran into the studio while still bleeding.
In addition to Diddy, Jones is suing Justin, other employees as well as various record execs, and he is seeking at least $30 million in damages.
Diddy’s attorney, Shawn Holley, told TMZ: “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.”
She added, “We have overwhelming, indisputable proof that his claims are complete lies. Our attempts to share this proof with Mr. Jones’ attorney, Tyrone Blackburn, have been ignored, as Mr. Blackburn refuses to return our calls. We will address these outlandish allegations in court and take all appropriate action against those who make them.”
A rep for Justin told TMZ: “Justin Combs categorically denies these absurd allegations. They are all lies! This is a a clear example of a desperate person taking desperate measures in hopes of a pay day. There will be legal consequences for ALL defamatory statements made about the Combs family.”.
Wizkid equals Burna Boy’s record for the most charting Nigerian albums on the Billboard 200 with ‘Morayo’, marking his fourth entry.
Nigerian superstar Wizkid has matched his compatriot Burna Boy’s record as the Nigerian artist with the most charting albums in Billboard 200 history.
The Starboy boss achieved this milestone with the debut of his latest album, Morayo, at number 98 on the Billboard 200. The album sold 13,000 units in its first week, marking Wizkid’s fourth appearance on the prestigious chart.
“Wizkid ties Burna Boy as the Nigerian artist with the most charting albums in Billboard 200 history (4 each),” global music monitoring platform Chart Data announced on X (formerly Twitter) on Friday.
Beyond the Billboard 200, Morayo also made a strong impression on the Billboard World Albums chart, debuting at number 4. This reinforces Wizkid’s global influence and his continued rise in international music rankings.
Wizkid’s achievement puts him in league with Burna Boy, whose latest album I Told Them… also climbed the Billboard charts earlier this year. Both artists now boast four charting albums, a testament to their consistency and worldwide appeal.
Meanwhile, fellow Nigerian artist Davido may soon join the race. With three albums already debuting on the Billboard 200 and his highly anticipated fifth studio album, 5IVE, set for release next year, he could soon achieve a similar milestone.
As Nigerian music continues to captivate global audiences, artists like Wizkid, Burna Boy, and Davido are spearheading the Afrobeats movement, making history on global platforms and shining a spotlight on Africa’s vibrant music scene.
Afrobeats star Davido questions Nigerian democracy while praising the U.S. electoral system, citing his faith in true democratic principles.
Afrobeats sensation David Adeleke, popularly known as Davido, has expressed concerns over the state of democracy in Nigeria, contrasting it with the robust democratic principles of the United States.
Speaking on a recent episode of The Morning Hustle podcast, Davido revealed his admiration for the U.S. electoral system, highlighting his confidence in its integrity.

The singer shared that he congratulated Donald Trump after his electoral victory, despite voting for his opponent, Kamala Harris of the Democratic Party.
“I congratulated Donald Trump. That’s the president! What are you talking about? If I were running against him, I would still have congratulated him,” he stated.
He added, “What I like about America is that there’s true democracy. Where I come from [Nigeria], it’s not so. To be honest, I voted for Kamala Harris because I wanted to see the first female president in my generation. That would have been cool.”
Davido’s remarks have sparked conversations about the credibility of Nigeria’s democratic processes. Known for his outspoken nature, the singer’s comments underscore growing concerns among many Nigerians about the need for reforms in governance and electoral systems.
