Music producer Rodney Jones Jr, who produced nine tracks on 2023’s The Love Album, sued Combs in February 2024, accusing the star of making unwanted sexual contact and forcing him to hire prostitutes and participate in sex acts with them.
In court papers filed in New York, Mr Jones also claimed that Combs tried to “groom” him into having sex with another man, telling him it was “a normal practice in the music industry”.
Combs’ lawyer, Shawn Holley, called Mr Jones “nothing more than a liar” and described his claims as “pure fiction”.
