Full list of celebrities named in Diddy court filing

A number of celebrities appeared in court filings made in connection with music producer Rodney Jones’ $30 million lawsuit against Sean “Diddy” Combs.

Jones filed his lawsuit on February 26, making a number of accusations against Combs, including sexual misconduct and grooming. Jones has also accused Combs of participating in sex-trafficking activity. Attorneys for Combs have strongly denied the allegations, previously telling Newsweek, “We have overwhelming, indisputable proof that his claims are complete lies.”

Jones’ filing to the federal district court in New York lists in detail his allegations, with one section claiming that Combs’ music industry associates, who are also named in the lawsuit, financially benefited from facilitating his alleged unlawful behavior, gaining access to his powerful connections.

Newsweek has reached out to Combs’ representatives and Jones’ attorney via email and online forum for comment.

Among the celebrities named in the filing are:

• Stevie J (Steven Aaron Jordan), a music producer and television personality
• A redacted name of a Philadelphia rapper who dated Nicki Minaj
• A Grammy Award-winning R&B singer who had trouble with law enforcement after assaulting a Bajan billionaire, whose name was also redacted.
• Yung Miami, who was not labeled as a celebrity in the filing
• Prince Harry
• Bishop T.D. Jakes
• Cassie Ventura, a singer and dancer
• Georgia Mass Choir
• Donald Lawrence, songwriter and music producer
• The Clark Sisters
• Smokie Norful
• Faheem Muhammad
• DeForrest Taylor
• Jose Cruz

Among the benefits enjoyed by music industry parties, Jones’ lawyers claimed, was “affiliation and access to Mr. Combs’ popularity.”

In the court filing seen by Newsweek, it is alleged that through this popularity, Combs’ associates gained access to “celebrities such as famous athletes, political figures, artists, musicians, and international dignitaries like British Royal, Prince Harry.”

The named celebrities have not been charged.

The court filing comes after federal authorities on Monday raided homes reportedly owned by Combs in Los Angeles, California, and Miami, Florida, according to local media outlets.

Investigators with the Department of Homeland Security executed search warrants at properties belonging to Combs in the Holmby Hills neighborhood of West Los Angeles, and in Miami on Monday afternoon.

The raids are reportedly tied to sex-trafficking allegations leveled by different plaintiffs in recent months, the Associated Press reported, citing law enforcement sources.

In response to the raid, Tyrone Blackburn, an attorney representing Rodney “Lil Rod” Jones, gave a statement saying, “About damn time. Sometimes justice delayed is not justice denied, so long as justice ultimately arrives.”

In recent months, Combs has been hit with several legal battles, with lawsuits accusing him of sexual assault and trafficking.

In a separate case, Combs’ ex-girlfriend, R&B singer Cassie, sued him in November, alleging years of sexual abuse. The lawsuit, which accuses Combs of forcing her to have sex with male prostitutes while he filmed, was settled the day after it was filed.
