Rodney “Lil Rod” Jones has alleged that he has a recording of Diddy in which the music mogul admitted to a litany of crimes, pressuring artists into record deals, inappropriate sexual acts, tax evasion, and more.

He claimed in an affidavit to the court in his sexual assault lawsuit against the Bad Boy founder, according to AllHipHop.

Jones revealed that he got to know Diddy while working on his latest project, The Love Album: Off the Grid.

“He shared how he would get things by force,” Lil Rod explained. “This included record deals, signatures on contracts, sex acts from women and men, as well as the women of his enemies. He bragged about departed attorney Johnny Cochran’s savvy legal skills and ability to pay off the witnesses through private investigators and other third parties,” Lil Rod went on. 

Lil Rod further revealed that Diddy bragged about the power he has and the fact that he beat up record executive Steve Stoute’s ‘ass.’ He went on to say that Diddy laughed uncontrollably as he talked about busting him in the head with a bottle of champagne and a chair.

On another occasion, Diddy bragged about beating up Gerard Rechnitzer outside of a nightclub in Hollywood. He also informed Lil Rod that only poor people pay taxes. 

Diddy and his legal team have already vehemently denied the allegations from the lawsuit. His attorney labeled Jones, “nothing more than a liar” and accused him of “shamelessly looking for an undeserved payday” after he filed the lawsuit. 

In other news, Diddy’s his daughters, Jessie and D’Lila Combs, have resorted to taking life easy as they enjoy their Easter break. 

Amidst the backdrop of controversy their dad is embroiled in, the two found themselves basking in the sun and shores of Turks and Caicos for a well-deserved Spring Break. They were spotted accompanied by LeBron James’ son, 16-year-old Bryce James.

A video clip circulating online captures the carefree spirits of the teenagers, as Bryce and his friend, Boogie Johnson, frolic in the crystal-clear waters, with Jessie and D’Lila seamlessly blending into the scene. The two had on matching bathing suits that highlighted their unmistakable presence.
