Sean Combs, better known as P. Diddy, was hit with yet another sexual assault lawsuit, and this time it was by his music producer, Rodney "Lil Rod" Jones.
According to NBC News, Jones accused Diddy of sexually harassing, drugging, and threatening him for over a year, which happened to also be the time he was living and traveling with the "Coming Home" rapper, from September 2022 to November 2023.
He also claimed that the harassment and assault included "constant unsolicited and unauthorized groping and touching of his anus."
Aside from that, the music producer also alleged that Diddy, his staff, and other associates "engaged in serious illegal activities." Jones named Diddy's adult son, Justin; Kristina Khorram, the rapper's chief of staff; Sir Lucian Grainge, Universal Music Group's CEO; and Ethiopia Habtemeriam, the former CEO of Motown Records.
He is seeking $30 million.
Sean 'P. Diddy' Combs Sexual Assault Lawsuits
This is not the first time Diddy was hit with a sexual assault lawsuit, in fact, this is one of many cases filed against the rapper.
According to reports, Diddy's ex-girlfriend, Cassie, was the first to file a lawsuit last year; she settled soon after. There was another accuser who claimed Diddy raped her 20 years ago, when she was 17.
The "I'll Be Missing You" rapper's lawyer accused Jones, noting that he is "reckless name-dropping about events that are pure fiction and simply did not happen is nothing more than a transparent attempt to garner headlines."
"We have overwhelming, indisputable proof that his claims are complete lies," said Shawn Holley, Diddy's lawyer. "We will address these outlandish allegations in court and take all appropriate action against those who make them."

Diddy immediately broke his silence from the first time someone accused him of sexual assault last year.
"Let me be absolutely clear: I did not do any of the awful things being alleged. I will fight for my name, my family, and for the truth," he declared.
However, he has yet to issue a personal statement in regard to Jones' lawsuit against him.
It seems like Diddy and his legal team are confident that Jones' lawsuit will not push through, but they did not disclose whether they plan to file a counter lawsuit against the music producer for defamation against the "It's All About the Benjamins" hitmaker.
