Sean “Diddy” Combs is the subject of a lawsuit filed by music producer Rodney Jones Jr., the New York Times reports. Jones, who is also known as Lil Rod, alleges that Combs subjected him to sexual assault, grooming, and improper payment while they worked on last year's The Love Album.

Diddy, via his lawyer, denies all claims. The lawsuit includes claims by Jones that Combs grabbed his genitals without consent, forced him to hire prostitutes and participate in sex acts with them, and trying to “groom” him into having sex with another man while promising to further his music career.

Jones says that Combs told him this was "a normal practice in the industry." Read Next: The Recording Academy are “evaluating” Diddy’s Grammys invite Additionally, Jones says he was drugged by Combs in July 2023 while attending a listening party at the mogul's Calfornia home.
