Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs is facing fresh allegations as a former employee claims the rapper directed his staff to carry drugs at all times. According to Rodney “Lil Rod” Jones, a former producer and videographer for Combs, the music mogul allegedly instructed his employees to always have drugs on hand, including pink cocaine, as part of their duties.
Jones filed a complaint that details the allegations, stating that “all employees, from the butler to the chef to the housekeepers,” were required to “walk around with a pouch or fanny pack filled with cocaine, GHB, ecstasy, marijuana gummies … and Tuci.” This new claim adds to the mounting legal issues Combs is facing, as he is already in prison on multiple sexual assault charges, told Page Six.
In response to the allegations, Combs’ legal team swiftly denied the accusations. One of Combs’ attorneys issued a statement dismissing Jones’ claims as a blatant attempt to exploit the rapper’s legal troubles for financial gain.
“Mr. Jones is nothing more than a con man, shamelessly looking for an easy and wholly undeserved payday,” the statement read. “We have overwhelming, indisputable proof that his claims are complete lies. Our attempts to share this proof with Mr. Jones’ attorney, Tyrone Blackburn, have been ignored, as Mr. Blackburn has refused to return our calls.”
The attorney further added, “We look forward to addressing these ridiculous claims in court, and intend to take all appropriate action against all who are attempting to peddle falsehoods.”
The allegations against Combs are the latest in a series of legal challenges the rapper has faced, particularly related to his treatment of employees and his personal conduct. Whether or not these new claims hold any merit will be determined in court, but Combs’ legal team has made it clear that they intend to fight the accusations vigorously.
