Sean Diddy Combs seeks dismissal of $30M lawsuit filed by Rodney Lil Rod Jones

Diddy responded to Jones' claims in court papers on Monday, dismissing his accusations.

Sean “Diddy” Combs is seeking to have Rodney “Lil Rod” Jones’ lawsuit against him dismissed.

The hip hop mogul responded to the producer's claims in court papers on Monday, dismissing Lil Rod’s accusations as “legally meaningless allegations and blatant falsehoods.”

Jones is suing the Bad Boy mogul for $30 million, previously alleging in federal court documents that he was coerced into engaging in sex acts, and was drugged and groped while working for Combs.

In an amended complaint filed in March, Jones also claimed that Combs was involved in a “RICO enterprise” and a “sex trafficking venture.”

However, Diddy’s legal team countered on Monday in Manhattan federal court, asserting that Jones’ “true purpose is to generate media hype and exploit it to extract a settlement” from the “I’ll Be Missing You” artist.

The strongly-worded motion argues that: “Jones’ Second Amended Complaint is his third attempt to dress up a run-of-the-mill commercial disagreement as a salacious RICO conspiracy. Running to nearly 100 pages, it includes countless tall tales, shameless celebrity name drops, and irrelevant images. Yet, despite all its hyperbole and lurid theatrics, the SAC fails to state a single viable claim against any of the Combs Defendants.”

Diddy’s attorneys further allege in the new motion that, “Jones recently posted a video on the ‘X’ platform in which he, together with a performer known as ‘Uncle Murda,’ laughed about this lawsuit (despite his allegations of ‘severe emotional distress’),” and, “demanded Mr. Combs pay him ‘that money by Monday.'”

The motion adds, “Like [Jones’ second amended complaint] Jones’ videotaped threats on social media are part of a calculated effort to promote his personal brand and profit from the exposure. Such tactics have no place in federal court.”
