Sean “Diddy” Combs asked a federal judge Monday to throw out a lawsuit from a music producer who accused the music mogul of a broad pattern of sexual abuse and other misconduct.

The lawsuit, filed in February by Rodney “Lil Rod” Jones — one of several lawsuits filed against Combs in the past year — is riddled with exaggerated claims, sensationalized narratives, legally baseless allegations, and outright falsehoods. According to Combs' motion to dismiss, the lawsuit's sole purpose is to generate media attention and exploit it to secure a settlement.

The motion to dismiss asserts that the lawsuit fails to demonstrate that Jones has legal grounds to sue, lacks crucial details like the time and location of the alleged incidents, and fails to present a single valid claim.

Before Jones filed his lawsuit in February, several other lawsuits alleging sexual abuse and other misconduct against Combs had already been filed. However, the situation surrounding the hip-hop star has taken a more serious turn since then.

In March, simultaneous raids on Combs' residences in Florida and California revealed that he was the subject of an ongoing federal criminal investigation into sex trafficking.

In May 2016, CNN aired security footage from a hotel that captured Combs physically assaulting R& B singer Cassie , who was his mentee and long-term girlfriend at the time. The incident aligned with details described in a lawsuit filed by Cassie in November , which was settled the next day but sparked intense scrutiny of Combs' behavior.

Days after the video was released, Combs issued an apology on social media, expressing his “true regret” and acknowledging that his actions were “unforgivable.”

Jones' extensive lawsuit, which also names Combs' son and several of his business associates as defendants, details a year he spent working closely with the music mogul in Los Angeles and Miami while producing an album in 2022 and 2023.

Jones claims he witnessed — and, in many cases, recorded — hundreds of hours of illicit drug and sexual activity involving Combs and his associates. Combs' legal team argues that the lawsuit is filled with far-fetched accusations and contains very few claims directly targeting Jones beyond the allegation that Combs failed to pay the producer for his services.

The lawsuit aims to transform this commercial dispute into a vast criminal conspiracy orchestrated by Combs, without providing substantial evidence to support these claims, according to Combs' legal filing.

Jones also asserts that Combs attempted to manipulate him into sexual activity, physically assaulted him, coerced him into soliciting sex workers, and pressured him to engage in sexual encounters with them.

However, the motion from Combs' legal team argues that “Jones fails to present the most essential details, such as the location and time of any supposed assault or the nature of the alleged events," and lacks evidence to support the claim that Jones was coerced in a way that would make him a victim.

The Associated Press typically refrains from naming individuals who allege sexual abuse unless they choose to disclose their identities publicly, as Jones and Cassie have done.

Beyond the incident recorded on the hotel security video with Cassie, Combs has generally denied the claims made against him in the lawsuits.

"I want to be completely clear: I did not commit any of the serious offenses being accused of me," he stated in a post last December.
