Lil Rod speaks out on the lawsuit filed against Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs: ‘I am being made to suffer for this’

For the first time, Jones Jr. addresses Diddy in the media after the latter’s legal entanglement with the former last month. Jones worked as a producer in Combs’ last project, The Love Album: Off the Grid which was released in 2023. He narrated the reasons why he had to go to court and sue for $30 million for the reasons of racketeering, sexual assault, and trafficking and how has he caught up with issues ever since.

Heady beats and Combs’ artistry gave birth to music that came to be termed a ‘monster’ and it appears that he has been in a fugitive state since the other day. He had previously threatened to go into hiding because of a death threat, however, he was spotted in public for the first time at Juntenth’s event featuring T-Pain at the Hollywood Bowl where he performed with a band.

“I’m not lying to God – several episodes later, I had a breakdown – a few of them because really, I thought those out, you know, since the anxiety was a lot,” he told Rolling Stone in an interview. “I think I peered behind the curtain and there were these other guys whose faces I did not recognize and it frightened me. I was like where is the security? That was an awful place to be. That is an awful place to be because you know there are people who are just ready and willing to attack you.”

“Towards my issues, I am in sessions with three therapists at the moment,” Jones noted. “At this point, everyone has watched the tape featuring Cassie.” This is the person I am dealing with.” After what seemed like the final edition of an interview with Jones, a representative from Combs’ camp was asked to comment on Jones. In a statement, a representative of Combs referred to the lawyer’s statement of the hip-hop tycoon which was released on Monday, Taggy’s team was attempting to have the lawsuit initiated by Jones against them dismissed. “The claims of Mr. Jones are pure fantasy — a desperate attempt to draw publicity and achieve a quick financial settlement. There was no RICO conspiracy and Mr. Jones was not threatened, groomed, beaten or trafficked,” Wolff said. “In time, we will be permitted to prove – in the courthouse – that every single one of Mr. Jones’ claims is a lie and must be removed from consideration.”
