A male porn star has come forward to say he is the person pictured in record producer Rodney “Lil Rod” Jones' $30 million lawsuit against music mogul Diddy, who has strenuously denied the allegations made.
Shocking images in the lawsuit allegedly show a man having penetrative sex with another man. According to the documents, the man pictured is super producer Stevie J aka Steven Jordan, a longtime colleague of Diddy's.
Jones said in the lawsuit that one of the many instances of harassment involved watching Jordan have sex with another man.
In response to the pictures posted on X, D'Angelo “Knockout” Marquis replied: “That's me smh.”
'This is not [Stevie J] “It’s me, you guys are really trying,” he wrote in another message. In a subsequent Instagram post, Marquis wrote in the caption of a video, “Yes I was at Diddy's party, now what?”
According to his OnlyFans page, Marquis is a “professional, award-winning male entertainer who has nearly 100,000 followers on Instagram.”

Record producer Rodney “Lil Rod” Jones claims he was groomed and abused for a year
Rapper and music industry mogul Sean Combs was sued on November 16 by singer Cassie, who accused him of rape and physical abuse, before the case was settled out of court
Stevie J was a long-time member of Diddy's family and was recently married to Faith Evans, Biggie Smalls' widow, until 2023 (seen here).
Stevie J also responded to the filing: “This lawsuit is fake!” accompanied by three clown emojis.
The producer has been linked to Diddy for years and was married until 2023 to the widow of Biggie Smalls aka Christopher Wallace, who was shot in 1997.
The lawsuit, filed in federal court in New York, accuses Combs of repeated instances of unsolicited groping and sexual touching. It also says the man had to work in the bathroom while Combs showered and walked around naked.
An attorney for Combs called the events described in the lawsuit “pure fiction.”
“We have overwhelming, incontrovertible evidence that his claims are complete lies,” said Combs attorney Shawn Holley. “We will address these outlandish allegations in court and take all appropriate action against those who make them,” he added.
In the lawsuit, the producer alleges that Combs tricked him into recruiting prostitutes and pressured him into having sex with them. It also described a time when the producer woke up in bed with two sex workers and suspected he had been drugged.
The lawsuit is one of several sexual assault lawsuits filed against Combs in recent months, including a lawsuit by R&B singer Cassie that was settled last year. Another of Combs' accusers was a woman who said the rap producer raped her two decades ago when she was 17.
Combs has denied the allegations. In a statement in December, he said the “disgusting” claims were made by people “looking for a quick payday.”
“Let me be clear: I have done none of the terrible things that are being alleged.” “I will fight for my name, my family and for the truth,” he said.
Combs has denied the allegations. In a statement in December, he said the “disgusting” claims were made by people “looking for a quick payday.”
Stevie J has called the lawsuit a “sham”.
“Lil Rod is nothing more than a liar who shamelessly filed a $30 billion lawsuit looking for an undeserved salary,” attorney Shawn Holley told TMZ.
“His reckless naming of events that are pure fiction and simply did not happen is nothing more than a transparent attempt to grab headlines.”
“We have overwhelming, incontrovertible evidence that his claims are complete lies. “Our attempts to share this evidence with Mr Jones's lawyer, Tyrone Blackburn, have been ignored as Mr Blackburn refuses to return our calls.”
Combs recruited Jones in August 2022 to produce some of the songs on the R&B album The Love Album: Off the Grid, which was nominated for a Grammy upon its release in September 2023.
“Mr. Jones agreed and his life has been adversely affected ever since,” the lawsuit states.
For more than a year, he endured “constant unsolicited and illicit groping and touching of his anus” at Combs' homes in Florida, Los Angeles and New York, as well as on a rented yacht in the U.S. Virgin Islands.
Combs introduced him to Cuba Gooding Jr. on the yacht, where the actor reportedly began calling “Mr. “Touching, feeling and caressing Jones' legs, his upper inner thighs near his groin, the small of his back near his buttocks and shoulders.”
He claims he was also sexually assaulted by a cousin of Combs' girlfriend Yung Miami and forced to watch a video of record producer Stevie J having sex with another man.
Jones' lawsuit was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York on Monday, three weeks after Jones filed a Gofundme appeal demanding money to sue the rapper over unpaid royalties
According to the lawsuit, Jones was forced to work in Combs' bathroom, where the star showered naked behind a glass panel.
The producer claims Combs bragged about shooting people and threatened to cause bodily harm if Jones didn't comply with his demands.
He says the “energetic and demanding” star privately admitted to being involved in a nightclub shooting in 1999, in which he was acquitted of gun possession and bribery charges.
“Mr. Combs has always made it clear that he wields immense power in the music industry and in law enforcement,” the lawsuit says.
Jones claims that underage girls and sex workers were guests at the star's house parties and that he saw the star drugging their drinks.
He also claims he was sent to dragnets and nightspots in Miami to recruit sex workers and says he himself was drugged in February last year before waking up naked, dizzy and confused in bed with Combs and two sex workers .
The lawsuit was filed Monday in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, three weeks after Jones filed a Gofundme appeal demanding money to sue the rapper over unpaid royalties.
“For the better part of the last six months, my team and I have taken every opportunity we thought possible to address and resolve these matters (fairly) privately,” he wrote.
Within an hour of filing the lawsuit in December, Combs emphatically denied all allegations against him in a tweet that has already been seen by hundreds of thousands of people
“However, Diddy’s negotiating tactics of blocking communications, drying up (my) funds, and letting me negotiate out of desperation or without real resistance forced me here!”
His lawsuit also names Combs' son Justin, his chief of staff Kristina Khorram and Universal Music Group CEO Sir Lucian Grange as defendants.
It accuses Khorram of “grooming” him on behalf of Combs and alleges that Motown Records, Love Records and Universal Music Group are a “rico corporation” that “fails to adequately monitor” Combs and his inner circle, warned or supervised”.
A spokesman for Justin Combs said he “categorically denies these absurd allegations.”
“These are all lies!” He added: “This is a clear example of a desperate person taking desperate measures in the hope of a payday.”
Earlier this week, Combs Sr. was forced to deny gang-raping a 17-year-old girl in his Manhattan recording studio, claiming a photo of her on his lap was “not accurate.”
His lawsuit, filed in the same New York court, rejects her claim that Combs, his longtime friend Harve Pierre and a third unidentified man flew her to his New York studio before plying her with “large quantities of drugs and alcohol” in 2003.
According to Rolling Stone, Combs recently bolstered his legal team with new attorneys.
These include Bobbi C. Sternheim, who defended Ghislaine Maxwell, and Shawn Holley, who successfully got Dodgers pitcher Trevor Bauer reinstated to Major League Baseball amid sexual assault allegations.
