The rapper's lawyers are not idle! They dismiss the fifth lawsuit against their client, still for sexual abuse. But while previously only women had accused the artist of sexual violence, this time it was a man who filed a complaint against the Last Night rapper in New York on Monday, February 26th.
Music producer and videographer Rodney Jones Jr., also known as Lil Rod, is seeking $30 million in damages for sexual assault and human trafficking, including alcohol and drug abuse. He claims to have video and audio evidence to support his statements. And also attacks members of the rap mogul's entourage.
The legal team of Sean Combs, his real name, has come forward and issued a denial in a press release. “Lil Rod is nothing more than a liar who shamelessly filed a $30 million lawsuit for undeserved financial gain,” said Shawn Holley, the rapper’s attorney. She continued: “His reckless disclosure of events that are pure fiction and simply did not happen is nothing more than a transparent attempt to grab headlines.” We have overwhelming and indisputable evidence that his claims are pure lies. »
And on the counterattack: “We will respond to these exaggerated claims in court and take all appropriate measures against those who make them.” »
Rodney Jones Jr. claims the alleged incidents occurred while he was living with Sean Combs in Florida, Los Angeles and New York and on a yacht in the Virgin Islands between 2022 and 2023 while he was recording songs for “The Love Album: Off the Grid” produced. released in September last year.
If Sean Combs managed to settle the complaint of his ex-girlfriend Casandra Ventura, known to the public by her stage name Cassie, two days after it was filed, three more cases are still pending. The musician claimed he was completely innocent of what he was accused of. In December, he responded to the allegations in a statement on social media. “For the past few weeks, I have remained silent and watched as people tried to assassinate me, destroy my reputation and my legacy,” he wrote. Let me be clear: I did not commit any of the horrors of which I am accused. I will fight for my name, my family and for the truth. »
