Skeletons are tumbling out fast and thick amid the ongoing court filings made in connection with music producer Rodney Jones’ $30 million lawsuit against Sean “Diddy” Combs. Rodney Jones has made several accusations against Combs which include sexual misconduct, participating in sex-trafficking activity, and grooming.
However, lawyers representing Sean “Diddy” Combs have denied all the allegations and said that their client was a victim of a witch hunt.
Jones also in his filings alleged that Combs’ music industry associates, who have also been named in the lawsuit, reaped financial benefits due to Diddy’s closeness to prominent individuals.
Interestingly, Prince Harry’s name also featured in the list of prominent individuals who have not been made defendants.
Among the celebrities named in the filing are:
- Prince Harry
- DeForrest Taylor
- Jose Cruz
- Stevie J (Steven Aaron Jordan), a music producer and television personality
- A Philadelphia rapper who dated Nicki Minaj, but his name was removed
- Faheem Muhammad
- A Grammy Award-winning R&B singer who had a brush with the law after assaulting a Bajan billionaire, but his name was also removed
- Yung Miami, who was not labeled as a celebrity in the filing
- Georgia Mass Choir
- Donald Lawrence, songwriter and music producer
- Smokie Norful
- The Clark Sisters
- Bishop T.D. Jakes
- Cassie Ventura, a singer and dancer
All the above personalities named above accrued benefits enjoyed by music industry parties and had access to Mr. Combs’ popularity.
They benefited from the close association of Combs with international dignitaries like the British Royal, Prince Harry, famous athletes, artists, musicians, and political figures.
The latest lawsuit comes amidst the raids by Federal officers on the premises owned by Combs in Los Angeles, California, and Miami, Florida.
The Federal agents were carrying out the raids after search warrants were issued.
Most of the raids were conducted after a slew of allegations against the music baron for sex trafficking by different plaintiffs.
Combs has been hit by a number of lawsuits in recent months which indicted him of sexual assault and trafficking.
The first and the most prominent were filed by Combs’ ex-girlfriend, R&B singer Cassie, who charged him with sexual abuse for years.
The lawsuit alleged that Cassie was forced to have sex with male prostitutes while Combs filmed.
However, the suit was settled just one day after it was filed.
Combs and Cassie Ventura were in an on-and-off relationship which continued for more than a decade.
In February, a music producer filed a lawsuit in which it was alleged that he was forced to solicit the services of a prostitute and have sex with them.
A woman who has not been named accused Combs of raping her two decades ago when she was only 17.
