Sean ‘P. Diddy’ Combs asked the court to dismiss a lawsuit brought against him by Rodney Jones.

Jones, otherwise known as Lil Rod, previously hit the rapper with a myriad of allegations, including sexual assault, all of which Diddy consistently denied. The lawsuit is one of multiple that Diddy is currently facing that tote allegations of sexual misconduct. Additionally, Jones’ complaint identified various models whom he claimed were victims of “sex trafficking,” according to legal documents obtained by The Mirror.

After legal silence, Diddy finally made progress on the lawsuit, filing a motion to dismiss. According to court documents obtained by The Mirror, Diddy claimed this is allegedly Rodney’s “third attempt to dress up a run of the mill commercial disagreement as a salacious RICO conspiracy.”

Diddy’s legal team took issue with Jones’ story, claiming it was full of “countless tall tales, shameless celebrity namedrops, and irrelevant images.” The statement goes on to brand the allegations as “hyperbole and lurid theatrics” and claims Jones is hoping for a financial settlement after leaning into “media hype.”

Previously, Diddy settled out of court with Cassie Ventura, the first person in the recent train of accusers against the entertainment mogul. Ventura accused Diddy, among other things, of assault in a graphic lawsuit, but they pair reached in agreement outside of court the next day with Diddy going on to continue denying the claims. A video later surfaced showing the rapper beating her in a hotel hallway, for which Diddy later apologized in a response video.

However, in Jones’ case, Diddy is asking the courts to cut the case rather than head to negotiations of any sort. In fact, oral arguments were requested if the case is not shut down. Currently, the lawsuit is not in a position for the defense to argue with the claimed facts of the case, but they did highlight concern over the intent of filing and credibility of Jones’ lawyer.

“His attorney was recently referred to this Court’s Grievance Committee for engaging in a ‘pattern’ of ‘improperly fil[ing] cases in federal court to garner media attention, embarrass defendants with salacious allegations, and pressure defendants to settle quickly,’” the documents claim.

Diddy’s lawyer Shawn Holley previously branded Jones a “con man.” In a more recent statement to The Mirror, he said: “Mr. Jones’s lawsuit is pure fiction — a shameless attempt to create media hype and extract a quick settlement. 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.”
