Last year, shocking allegations surfaced as Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs and Guy singer Aaron Hall were accused of sexually assaulting a woman 34 years ago. Now, a recent amendment to the case has shed new light on the severity of the allegations and the age of the victim at the time of the incident.

According to a report by People magazine, the woman who accused Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs and Aaron Hall of rape has filed an amended complaint, revealing that she was a 16-year-old minor when the alleged assault occurred. Liza Gardner filed her amended complaint in New York County Supreme Court, highlighting that the age of consent for sexual intercourse in 1990, when the alleged assault took place, was 17 years old.

In her amended complaint, Gardner details disturbing allegations against Combs and Hall, stating that they took turns assaulting her and a friend after meeting them at an event at MCA Records’ New York office. The amended version emphasizes that Gardner was physically forced into the sexual encounter with Combs against her will and underscores that, as a minor, she was unable to legally consent to drinking the alcohol allegedly provided by the two men.

The amendment to the lawsuit brings renewed attention to the case and underscores the legal complexities surrounding allegations of sexual assault and consent. By explicitly stating Gardner’s age at the time of the assault and emphasizing her inability to consent, the lawsuit seeks to hold Combs and Hall accountable for their actions and advocate for justice on behalf of the victim.

Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs is facing another lawsuit from a woman who claims she was assaulted by Diddy and his then Bad Boy Entertainment president, Harvey Pierre.

Stevie J Warns His Kids They’ve Gotta “Be Careful” Out Here Following Diddy Lawsuit Allegations

by

Last month, a new spate of allegations hit Diddy. He’s been hit with multiple series of lawsuits dating back to last year which each individually focus on different allegations of abusive behavior. The full span of all the accusations together paint a pretty damning picture. But despite the numerous claims many in the music industry are still debating the full merit of everything he’s accused of. But he isn’t the only one involved who has had to deny various claims made against him.

Stevie J is also mentioned in a lawsuit filed in February. The suit claimed that Diddy once showed a producer of his pictures of Stevie having sex with another man. The pictures are even included in the evidence of the lawsuit filed. Unsurprisingly, it didn’t take Stevie long to try to categorically deny all of the claims. He invoked his belief in god in a statement he made last month trying to dispel the accusations made against him. He went as far as to claim that the video “can’t” be him. In the aftermath, a pornstar claimed publicly that the pictures included were actually of him and not Stevie. Now, the music industry veteran is once again commenting indirectly on the allegations he’s facing.

In a pair of new clips taken from recent Instagram livestreams he did with his kids, Stevie J gives them a warning.

In one particular clip, the music mogul’s daughter is seen twerking despite the fact that she’s in a livestream with her dad and brother. Almost all of the comments on the post are discussing that bizarre encounter.

What do you think of Stevie J’s warning to his kids after being mentioned in Diddy’s newest lawsuit last month? Do you agree with fans that his daughter twerking on Instagram live alongside him is weird? Let us know in the comment section below.

Hitamaka recently sat down with Superstar Jay on SiriusXM’s Shade 45 and during the interview, Hitmaka revealed that Diddy denied Conway The Machine a Notorious B.I.G. sample and later cleared it for his son King Combs. He also shared that King Combs’ song “Naughty” was initially Boosie Badazz’s record.

Hitmaka on Diddy, Conway The Machine & Boosie Badazz controversy

Superstar Jay: Would you do a record for Boosie?

Hitmaka: Of course. I’ve done records for Boosie. Christian Combs had a record called “Naughty” with Jeremih and I had just started working with Atlantic Records at that time and actually Boosie had that record first and no disrespect respectfully to Christian because we got a bunch of other records that went crazy too. I love Boosie’s version more and Puff called Craig Calvin and was like, “No, I need that record,” and this was when I first started working at Atlantic and Craig called me like, “What did you do to Diddy?”

Superstar Jay: Why do you always get controversy with Christian because the record that I love with A Boogie, Jeremih was Conway’s record. I remember Conway telling me even when I told you about it, he was like, “Man.” Puff was like, “F that.”

Hitmaka: No, no, no, but Puff will do that though. You know what I’m saying? Look, Boosie had that record first. Christian wanted that record. Jeremih gave it to Christian. We recorded the record with Boosie first at Jeremih’s house. I was excited about it. I’m like, “This is a hit.” Boosie was going crazy, snapped on it. Me and Jeremih ended up seeing Christian. He gave him the record. I was standing on it like, “Nah.” I just started working for Atlantic. This Boosie record, Boosie was on Atlantic, so I’m like, “Yo, this Boosie record.” Puff called Craig Calvin. Craig Calvin called me like, “Christian, what is going on? Why is Sean Combs calling me?” I’m like, “I don’t know what’s going on.” It ended up being Christian’s record. The Conway situation, in that record with Conway, I ended up sampling a Diddy song and he wouldn’t clear the record for us. He wouldn’t clear the record for nobody except his son and that’s why Christian Combs got that record too. Salute to Christian and Diddy though.

DJ Superstar Jay: VIP Saturdays airs on SiriusXM’s Shade 45 on Saturdays at 8:00pm ET and is available anytime on the SiriusXM app.

For the first 30 years of his music career, Sean “Diddy” Combs was known for being a hit music producer, ace talent evaluator, and bombastic (if sometimes a bit unscrupulous) businessman. These days, though, you’re more likely to see his name associated with the fallout from his ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura’s accusations of sexual abuse against him.

He’s lost business partnerships, stepped down from roles in companies he’s created, and distanced himself from the public eye, all while maintaining that the growing number of similar allegations against him are false. He’s currently facing a slew of lawsuits and fans might be wondering what he’s accused of and by whom. Find out here. Trigger warnings for descriptions of sexual assault below.

November 2023: Two Women Sued Diddy For Sexual Assault

Shortly after settling Cassie’s lawsuit against him for an undisclosed sum, Combs was sued again by two women in separate lawsuits. Joie Dickerson-Neal filed suit in New York Supreme Court on November 23, accusing him of drugging her drink on a date in 1991 and sexually assaulting her. Dickerson-Neal says Combs also recorded the incident and showed it to others, making her a victim of revenge porn.

Another woman filed an anonymous lawsuit, claiming Combs and singer-songwriter Aaron Hall took turns raping her and her friend in 1990 or ’91.

December 2023: Another Woman Accused Diddy Of Raping Her When She Was 17 Years Old

In a new lawsuit filed in December, a third woman came forward with allegations against Combs, once again filing as a Jane Doe. In her suit, she claims Combs and two other men raped her in 2003, when she was 17 years old, after picking her up at a club in Detroit.

The latest complaint against Combs came from Rodney Jones — aka Lil Rod — a producer on Combs’ 2023 album Off The Grid. He said while staying with Diddy from September 2022 to November 2023, Diddy forced him to have sex with prostitutes, threatened, and harassed him.

Combs’ attorneys have dismissed all of the accusations against him as “money grabs,” but they’ve still affected his business partnerships

Diddy Was Allegedly Involved In Recording Studio Shooting, Lil Rod Claims

by

Diddy’s image and likeness has to be at an all-time low at this point. The rap legend’s legacy could be all ruined no matter how all of these allegations and lawsuits play out. The Harlem, New York native has been hit with sexual assault claims, treating co-workers unfairly, and everything in between. Furthermore, there are some believers and rumors floating around that Diddy and Meek Mill were intimately involved with one another. Now, Lil Rod, one of his most recent accusers, is back with some more serious declarations. According to him Diddy was an integral part in a recording studio shooting in Los Angeles.

Uproxx recently reported that this all happened in September 2022 at a producers’ camp at Chalice Recording Studio in LA. Lil Rod says that the shooting involving Diddy all went down after he heard gunshots following an quarrel in a bathroom. In the ensuing moments, Rod recalls that he saw him along with his son, Justin, leave the room. When Rod entered the producer saw Justin’s friend, “G,” on the ground with blood flowing out of his leg.

Furthermore, Diddy said that the reason “G” was bleeding was because of a drive-by, which Rod claims he was told to tell police that. However, there might be a plot hole in the producer’s allegations. The LAPD report says that the shooting involving “G” happened a few blocks away during failed robbery attempt. Additionally, police arrested three people two months later, crediting them with the shooting, most likely the assailants who were trying to rob “G.” Finally, Diddy’s attorney, who has had a busy past couple of months, says that he was not at the camp when the shooting went down.

What are your thoughts on Lil Rod accusing Diddy of a shooting incident at a recording studio? How do you think this allegation will play out? After all of these claims and lawsuit what will be Diddy’s fate? We would like to hear what you have to say, so be sure to leave your takes in the comments section.

Sean “Diddy” Combs, who has been battling with multiple sexual assault and harassment lawsuits over the past several months, is now also being accused of a shooting at an LA recording studio in one of the complaints. According to NBC News, Rodney “Lil Rod” Jones, who filed the most recent suit alleging harassment by Combs, including the accusations regarding an incident he claims took place at a producers’ camp at Chalice Recording Studio in Los Angeles in September 2022.

Jones claims that while attending the camp, he heard an altercation in a bathroom, then gunshots. Afterward, he says Combs and his son Justin exited, while Justin’s friend “G” was left lying on the floor bleeding from his leg. He says he helped G to an ambulance waiting outside, while Diddy told him to tell the police that G was shot in a drive-by outside the studio. The Los Angeles Fire Department and Chalice Studio wer easked for comment by NBC but did not respond. Jones’ complaint was amended today with new information from the LAPD and Combs’ attorneys.

While the complaint says Diddy and Justin were at the studio and that the LAPD saw the blood-stained bathroom, the official police report says that the shooting occurred on the street blocks away and G went to the studio after being shot. They say the victim told them he was approached by two men on the street while standing next to his vehicle who tried to rob him, then shot him in the course of a struggle. Police arrested three people two months later, crediting them with the shooting.

Meanwhile, Diddy’s attorney maintains that he was not even at Chalice the night of the shooting. Meanwhile, Jones said in the amended complaint that Combs had contracted a private investigator to dig up dirt on Jones to discredit his claims.

Other lawsuits against Diddy include the November 2023 lawsuit from his ex-girlriend Cassie Ventura, which was settled 24 hours later. After that, two more women came forward, then a third anonymous woman filed a separate lawsuit claiming Combs and two others gang raped her when she was 17. The judge in the latter complaint ruled that the woman could not maintain her anonymity should the case continue.

Meek Mill Was Reportedly Involved In A Car Accident And Claims It Was Supposedly Due To A Manufacturing Issue

Over the past few months, Meek Mill has tried to keep his head down. When the “Too Good To Be True” rapper made a public appearance, it was to raise awareness for probation reform through his nonprofit organization (Reform Alliance) or to tease a reunion with his former Maybach Music Group labelmate, Wale.

But as he prepared to reenter the spotlight, Meek faced a few unfortunate circumstances. Yesterday (March 1), Meek was reportedly involved in a bad car accident, which he claims was due to a manufacturing issue.

In a post on his Instagram Stories, Meek uploaded a photo of the frightening crash. “God telling [me] don’t crash out for the busta,” he wrote. “Imma listen, sh*t knocked me out, LOL. GMC. The whole brake pedal slipped off my first time driving SMH.”

While Meek should be celebrating the release of his latest EP, Heathenism, he has to tend to both his physical health and mental well-being. Meek’s reference to crashing out is seemingly in response to his string of posts on X (formerly Twitter) to shut down claims made in a new lawsuit that he was involved in a sexual relationship with Diddy.

Meek Mill has denied the remarks made in the filing.

Heathenism EP is out now via DreamChasers. Find more information here.

Meek Mill is a Warner Music artist. Uproxx is an independent subsidiary of Warner Music Group.
