Diddy & Lil Rod Lawsuit: Rodney Jones’ Lawyer Under Scrutiny For Past Litigation Concerns

by

Rodney Jones, also known as Lil Rod, launched a staggering $30 million lawsuit against Diddy for sexual assault and sex trafficking claims with the help of lawyer Tyrone Blackburn. However, it seems like they may be in for more trouble than they thought. Moreover, Judge Denise Cote referred Blackburn to the Southern District of New York’s Grievances Committee on Wednesday (April 3), according to court documents obtained by AllHipHop. In them, he’s accused of “disturbing” past litigation, including deliberately salacious lawsuits in Federal Court. Judge Cote believes there’s a pattern in the attorney’s behavior that demonstrates he files cases to leverage the Federal Court process in his favor.

Specifically, Judge Cote accused Diddy’s accuser’s lawyer of purposefully attracting media attention to his cases, defaming defendants with unfounded and scandalous claims, and wriggling a rapid settlement out of them. Similar and recent accusations also emerged against lawyers Liane Fisher and Michael J. Taubenfeldckburn. In addition, she alleged that Blackburn did not properly file cases in their appropriate districts and brought up five instances of his continued action despite this lack of due diligence. Apparently, his case did not fall within Rule 11 obligations (which ensures that accusations are well-founded), something the Court is now very troubled with.

“A reasonable inference from Blackburn’s pattern of behavior is that he improperly files cases in federal court to garner media attention, embarrass defendants with salacious allegations, and pressure defendants to settle quickly,” Judge Cote wrote of Diddy’s prosecutor. “Regardless of Blackburn’s intentions, his actions in this and prior cases indicate a repeated failure to meet his Rule 11 obligations.” UMG CEO Sir Lucian Grainge also reportedly considered to sanction Blackburn for Rule 11 violations, and he’s a defendant in the Sean Combs lawsuit. Depending on what the Grievance Committee concludes, this judicial admonishment could impact other high-profile cases of his.

For example, Blackburn also sued Nicki Minaj, Kenneth Petty, T.I., Tiny, and more. As such, this could have pretty hefty consequences for his legal career. Nevertheless, the claims against (or for) the Bad Boy executive remain officially uncharged, unconfirmed, but nonetheless rightfully scrutinized under law enforcement.

Rick Ross Furthers 50 Cent Beef After He Suggests Fat Joe Called Fif Out

by

50 Cent and Rick Ross have longstanding beef against each other, a battle that refused to wane over the years. Despite it being relatively low-key, it bubbles up every once in a while, and the latter just found a way to re-instigate it. Moreover, Rozay suggested that Fat Joe referred to the G-Unit mogul during an Instagram rant against rappers who get their feud rivals roped up in more legal drama in order to bring them down. Of course, this could potentially allude to 50’s recent claims that Diddy organized Tupac’s murder, or at least, that’s what the Maybach Music Group mogul interpreted. First, though, we have to understand what Joey Crack was saying, which he maintained wasn’t directed at anyone specifically.

“If I got beef with another rapper, another DJ, and that guy’s fighting the law where he might be going to jail for 10 years, 15 years, I don’t think it’s cool for hip-hop beef to be like, ‘Yeah, go get him!’” Fat Joe began. “‘He does this, he does that.’ That’s jail. Now, you think it’s hip-hop, you think it’s fun and games, but R. Kelly’s in jail. For life! One of the greatest, most famous, most illest entertainers- might be the greatest ever- is in jail for life. Not saying what he did was- I’m just telling you, you can go to jail.

Fat Joe’s IG Rant Against Rappers Who Take Rap Beef Too Far

“It’s no such thing as you’re too famous to go to jail,” Fat Joe went on. “They’ll put you in jail. I’m talking about everybody, guys. I’m not talking about somebody specific. But if I got rap beef with you, it’s not cute for me to try to put your business out there or dirty your face or point allegations to you because I want more ratings or I want to sell more records. And this has just been really happening lately in an amazing way where guys that I respect and I love are seeing other artists or people in vulnerable positions, and are acting like it’s hip-hop beef. ‘Yeah, he did this, he did that.’

“No!” he passionately concluded. “He might go to jail for 10 years and not be able to feed his family. And what is it to you that that man goes to jail? This is real life s**t.” The Carol City MC then commented under The Hip-Hop Wolf‘s Instagram coverage of this rant. “Ohh this the 50 cent #tupac, Diddy s**t! @fatjoe I concur,” he wrote. However, many felt that Joe could’ve also been talking about Ross’ beef with DJ Envy, or his own treatment of 50. However you may feel about all this, let us know in the comments section down below. Also, check back in with HNHH for the latest news and updates on 50 Cent, Rick Ross, and Fat Joe.
