Lil Rod Also Trying To Sue Diddy For Publishing On Top Of His Sexual Assault Claims

February 27, 2024 by newhiphopnews

The lawsuits and accusations continue to pile up for Diddy as Lil Rod is one the more recent to speak up. Rodney “Lil Rod” Jones worked on The Love Album: Off The Grid which dropped back in September of 2023. It is one that Rod said he “took a year off” to work tirelessly on. However, even with all of the long nights and “not going to sleep until it’s done,” he was being paid “pennies.” Furthermore, he said that the contract he signed was “disgusting,” according to AllHipHop. So, with all of that, Lil Rod is also suing Diddy over publishing, on top of the wild sexual assault and harassment allegations.

However, for this to happen Lil Rod created a GoFundMe page to raise $50,000 to help with paying an attorney. In the post below from The Neighborhood Talk, they found a video of him and Diddy going back and forth about his publishing details. Lil Rod posted that video on his Instagram and Stevie J, who was a part of the Bad Boy’s production collective responded essentially calling him a liar.

Diddy’s legal team has the same opinion as Stevie J, saying, “We have overwhelming, indisputable proof that his claims are complete lies.” They also called him out for looking for an “undeserved payday” especially after the previous lawsuit is around $30 million. Additionally, spectators of these crazy claims are also a bit skeptical that Lil Rod is telling the truth. “Yea it’s giving money grab. It’s getting hard to believe ppl with such a serious accusation.” So much more is to come of this so stick with us for all of the latest updates.

Axl Rose Sued For Alleged Sexual Assault By Former Penthouse Model

November 22, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Today, former penthouse model Sheila Kennedy filed a lawsuit against Guns N’ Roses frontman Axl Rose. She accuses the performer of sexually assaulting her in the 80s, detailing the alleged attack in the suit. Kennedy claims that they met at a nightclub in 1989 and eventually ended up in an NYC hotel room together. She alleges that he then “violently” sexually assaulted her. Kennedy describes him allegedly “[knocking] her to the floor,” dragging her by her hair, then assaulting her.

She accuses him of attacking her “while he was in a sexual, volatile rage,” per the suit. It also states that “Kennedy did not consent and felt overpowered.” Allegedly, “she understood that the safest thing to do was to lie in bed and wait for Rose to finish assaulting her.”

“Her account is unfortunately all too typical of a culture of violence and sexual misconduct that has been allowed to exist in plain sight for decades. It’s not just individual musicians stepping out of line, but an industrial system of enabling them and then covering up their misconduct and crimes, silencing survivors and normalizing sexual assault. We hope Sheila’s bravery helps other victims find their voice,” Dr. Ann Olivarius, chair of the executive committee at McAllister Olivarius, told CNN.

Axl Rose’s attorney, Alan S. Gutman, shared a statement with the outlet denying the allegations. “Simply put, this incident never happened,” he said. “Notably, these fictional claims were filed the day before the New York State filing deadline expires. Though he doesn’t deny the possibility of a fan photo taken in passing, Mr. Rose has no recollection of ever meeting or speaking to the Plaintiff, and has never heard about these fictional allegations prior to today … Mr. Rose is confident this case will be resolved in his favor,” he also added.

L.A. Reid Sued By Former Employee For Alleged Sexual Assault: Report

November 9, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Antonio Marquis Reid, colloquially known as L.A., has faced multiple accusations of sexual assault in the past. Now, a former A&R at Arista Records, Drew Dixon, claims that she faced harassment and mistreatment at his hands back in the early 2000s- when he became the record company’s CEO and president- according to court documents obtained by Rolling Stone. Moreover, the music executive had left this same position at Epic Records back in 2017 due to other accusations of abuse from Dixon. He launched the careers of the likes of Usher, Avril Lavigne, TLC, Mariah Carey, and plenty of others. This new lawsuit, however, might finally bring about some accountability or clear his name altogether if it’s an untrue accusation.

Furthermore, Dixon filed a lawsuit against L.A. Reid in New York’s Southern District under the Adult Survivors Act. This provides a one-year window for assault victims to bring a civil suit forward past the statute of limitations’ expiration date. This particular window closes on November 24. Specifically, Dixon accused the record producer and acclaimed behind-the-scenes boss of constant harassment and two instances of sexual assault in 2001. During her initial claims in 2017, he released an apology statement for how his words were “misinterpreted.”

“L.A. Reid is a known predator, who uses his singular professional power to force himself on his victims,” Dixon stated, Rolling Stone reports. “In my case, his persistent campaign of sexual harassment and assault forced me to abandon the work I loved. I was at the top of my game in the music business, having worked my way up from internships and a job as a receptionist.” She alleges that the two instances of assault in question were once on a private plane, and another in the back of his car.

Meanwhile, this follows Dixon’s own accusations of sexual assault against Russell Simmons while she was at Def Jam, which is what caused her to go to Arista in the first place. Overall, there are a lot of moving pieces here, and we’ll have to see if this ends up fully resolving if court. If not, then Dixon could face even more scrutiny and blockades in her career and the question of accountability will never truly be answered. For more news and the latest updates on L.A. Reid, come back to HNHH.
