R567m lawsuit against Diddy: Prince Harry allegedly part of it

Prince Harry’s name has allegedly appeared in court documents filed against Sean “Diddy” Combs in New York by producer Rodney “Lil Rod” Jones, the New York Times reported.

PRINCE HARRY NAME ALLEGEDLY APPEARS IN DIDDY’S LAWSUIT

According to the publication, Lil Rod filed a $30 million (an estimated R567 million) lawsuit against Diddy alleging he coerced him to solicit prostitutes. Lil Rod allegedly cited that the 54-year-old hip-hop mogul allegedly participated in acts such as sexual misconduct, grooming and sex trafficking.

It’s been reported that in the court document, Lil Rod also cited that the 39-year-old Duke of Sussex’s “affiliation” along with other stars added to Diddy’s “legitimacy.”

As part of a federal sex trafficking investigation on Monday, Diddys Miami-based as well as his Los Angeles-based homes were raided by Homeland Security officials.

HERE IS HOW PRINCE HARRY’S NAME WAS DRAWN IN DIDDY’S DRAMA

According to court documents seen by Dail Mail, Prince Harry’s name only appears once in the 73-page document. It was also reported that the Duke of Sussex is not a defendant as the court document do not suggest any wrongdoing on his part.

It was further reported that Lid Rod has claimed that many A-listers including Prince Harry were drawn to Diddy’s alleged sex-trafficking parties for several benefits.

GB News has shared parts of the court documents and they allegedly read as follows: “Among the financial benefits that the Defendants Lucian Charles Grainge, Ethiopia, Habtemariam, Motown Records, Love Records, and Universal Music Group received for participating in and facilitating Combs’ sex-trafficking venture were the affiliation and access to Mr. Combs’ popularity.

“Mr. Combs was known for throwing the “best” parties. Affiliation with, and or sponsorship of Mr. Combs’ sex-trafficking parties garnered legitimacy and access to celebrities such as famous athletes, political figures, artists, musicians, and international dignitaries like British Royal, Prince Harry.”

SEAN COMBS’ LAWYER CLAIMS CLIENT IS INNOCENT

Following the home raids earlier this week, Diddy’s lawyer Aaron Dryer has claimed his client is being falsely accused and was ambushed by officials on Monday. He further assured that his client is focused on clearing his name.

“This unprecedented ambush — paired with an advanced, coordinated media presence — leads to a premature rush to judgment of Mr. Combs and is nothing more than a witch hunt based on meritless accusations made in civil lawsuits.

“There has been no finding of criminal or civil liability with any of these allegations. Mr. Combs is innocent and will continue to fight every single day to clear his name,” TMZ quoted Dryer as saying.
