Rodney “Lil Rod” Jones –the former Bad Boy producer who’s suing Diddy– has finally broken his silence months after unleashing a load of claims against the troubled Bad Boy mogul. This comes one day after Sean “Diddy” Combs’ lawyer filed a motion, on his behalf, to have Lil Rod’s case dismissed. Now, Lil Rod has pounced back with even more claims against Diddy.
As y’all have heard by now, Lil Rod filed a civil lawsuit against Diddy in February 2024, which included several claims such as ‘grooming him and exposing him to several crimes, including drug trafficking, sexual assault and serving drug-laced cocktails’ at his popular Diddy-parties.
Lil Rod’s Latest Claims Against Diddy Following The Aftermath Of His Lawsuit
In a new Rolling Stone interview, Lil Rod discussed the difficulties he says he’s had ever since filing his lawsuit against Diddy. His latest claims including everything from alleged Diddy-threats, to suicidal thoughts, to being blackballed in the music game and more.
On the threats Lil Rod says he’s received after filing lawsuit against Diddy:
Lil Rod- “I got threats. I’ve never had so much hitting me at once. Diddy has a lot of people on his payroll in a lot of different positions. He’s very connected. It’s made me nervous traveling. Going to hotels, I ask if there’s any way to remove my name. [The last time] I landed in L.A., I knew he had connections there. I got off the plane worried. I masked my face and changed my outfits, trying to disguise myself. For sure I was uncomfortable, paranoid, afraid. But I told myself, you can’t keep living like this. I’ve got three therapists. [In his lawsuit, Jones alleges Combs threatened him with physical harm.] Everybody saw the video of Cassie. This is who I’m dealing with.”
How Lil Rod describes Diddy:
LR- “He’s (Diddy) a monster. He’ll do whatever is necessary to get exactly what he wants. He doesn’t take no for an answer. He [told me] himself, ‘I’ll smack my mama.’ Anybody who can say that even jokingly is a monster. He’s nothing to be played with. For a person whose brand is Love Records, and changed their name to Love and named their kid Love, he doesn’t show love. He’s just marketing.”
On being “blackballed” in music industry after filing lawsuit against Diddy:
LR- “It’s been very, very tough. Because of this lawsuit, most people don’t want to come near working with me for whatever reasons, whether they’ve been in partnership with Puff or they want to just sit back and see what happens. He’s a gatekeeper in the music industry. In this industry, to be successful, you have to have worked with someone like him or Jay-Z, Dr. Dre, Kanye or 50 Cent. So many people I’ve worked with have had business deals with him. I reached out to try to get a deal for my album, and people don’t want to get involved.”
Lil Rod explains how his Diddy-lawsuit backlash has sparked suicidal thoughts within him:
LR- “It feels like there are so many people quietly rooting for [Combs]. Or maybe they’re rooting for me and just scared to say something. Here I am standing up for justice, for what I believe is right for my life, and I’m being punished for that. I’m blackballed, for sure. I’ve had many nights and weeks and months of suicidal thoughts. It’s the music that has kept me living all my life.”
When asked in which city he resides, Lil Rod refused to answer out of fear of retaliation:
LR- “For safety reasons, I’m not saying. There have been too many people trying to figure out where I’m at. I moved locations, moved states. Everything is private. My mom doesn’t even know where I live. It’s been like that pretty much all year.”
Why Diddy’s Lawyer Filed Motion To Dismiss Lil Rod’s Lawsuit
On Monday, August 26, 2024, Diddy’s lawyer, Erica Wolff, filed a motion on Diddy’s behalf, to have Lil Rod’s case dismissed.
Via RS– “Mr. Jones’ lawsuit is pure fiction – a shameless attempt to create media hype and extract a quick settlement,” Combs’ lawyer Erica Wolff, said in a statement Monday after filing a new motion to dismiss Jones’ amended 98-page complaint. “There was no RICO conspiracy and Mr. Jones was not threatened, groomed, assaulted, or trafficked. We look forward to proving – in a court of law – that all of Mr. Jones’s claims are made-up and must be dismissed.”
