Former Junior M.A.F.I.A. member, Lil Cease, has shared his thoughts on the multiple lawsuits filed against hip hop mogul, Diddy.

Diddy’s lawsuits, starting from Cassie’s in November 2023, have alleged sexual assault, misconduct, and other serious charges.

The latest is the $30 million suit by a producer named Rodney “Lil Rod” Jones, who worked on Diddy’s The Love Album: Off the Grid.

In the February 2024 suit, he accused Diddy of sexual harassment. Jones also alleged that Diddy had drugged and threatened him over the course of a year.

Lil Cease talks of Biggie and Diddy’s lawsuit

In a brief interview published by TMZ, Lil Cease who was attending The Biggie Experience in New York City over the weekend spoke on some of things he has been up to.

The 46-year-old Brooklyn native revealed that he had returned his unreleased recordings with The Notorious B.I.G to the late rapper’s family. He also mentioned that he is currently working on a Junior M.A.F.I.A. documentary and a memoir.

When asked about Diddy’s ongoing legal troubles, Lil Cease took a neutral stance. For him, there was no need to say who is right or wrong but just to pray for peace for both parties.

“At the end of the day, a lot of things are accusations. We don’t know what’s true and what’s not, and I’m not the one to say what’s true and what’s not, but I hope both parties find comfort and find peace, and that’s how I see it.”

Over his four-decade career, Diddy has faced legal action or settlement payouts more than four dozen times.

Some of the allegations relate to his music and business pursuits, and many were ultimately thrown out, while a half-dozen of the actions accuse him of either committing or having others commit violence.

50 Cent trolls Diddy over male sexual assault suit

Meanwhile, 50 Cent took his feud with Diddy to another level as he mocked the latter over the new sexual assault lawsuit filed by a producer who worked with him.

In a series of since-deleted Instagram posts, the G-Unit rapper screenshotted a headline about the lawsuit and wrote:

“Aww shit, I’m on the floor dead somebody bring me back to life.” He also said: “Maybe this is a big misunderstanding. I just don’t go to the man’s parties. This is just not my kinda vibe.”
