Popular rapper, Diddy has come out to file a motion to dismiss a $30M lawsuit filed by record producer, Lil Rod. Recall that Lil Rod sued him for constant groping and a possible drug-induced r*pe, and fans have been reacting.
According to Diddy, Rod is simply exploiting him for money, and his accusations are basically countless tall tales, shameless celebrity namedrops and irrelevant images that convince no one that he is telling the truth.
He added that the producer’s true intention is to generate media hype and exploit the situation to extract a settlement.
Court documents read, “Jones’ Second Amended Complaint is his third attempt to dress up a run-of-the-mill commercial disagreement as a salacious RICO [Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act] conspiracy.
Running to nearly 100 pages, it includes countless tall tales, shameless celebrity namedrops, 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.
Replete with legally meaningless allegations and blatant falsehoods, the SAC’s [Second Amended Complaint] true purpose is to generate media hype and exploit it to extract a settlement—no surprise, given that his attorney was recently referred to this Court’s Grievance Committee for engaging in a ‘pattern’ of ‘improperly fil[ing] cases in federal court to garner media attention, embarrass defendants with salacious allegations, and pressure defendants to settle quickly.
Taking a page from his lawyer’s playbook, 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’), demanded Mr Combs pay him ‘that money by Monday,’ and warned: ‘I’m from Chicago, we don’t play about our business.’
Like the SAC, 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.”
WOW.
