Los Angeles - A music producer who is suing Sean "Diddy" Combs is doubling down on allegations that Combs and his son were involved in a shooting that happened at an L.A. recording studio in 2022, as well as allegations of harrasment.
Combs was sued Feb. 26 by Rodney "lil Rod" Jones, a producer on his most recent album, who alleged Combs sexually harrased, drugged and threatened him while he traveled and lived with Combs from September 2022 to November 2023.
The Shooting
The original complaint includes Jone's account that he heard multiple gunshots after a "heated conversation" in a nearby bathroom. When the bathroom door opened, Combs and his son walked out and Jones found G "lying on the restroom fllor in a fetal position, holding his stomach and bleeding out of his leg/hip area," the lawsuit said.
Jones said he brought the victim to the front of the studio, where an ambulance was waiting. The Los Angeles Fire Department has not respnded for more information about the shooting.
Jones alleged in the suit that Combs instructed him to tell the police Combs had nothing to do with the shooting and that it occured aoutside of the studio by a drive-by assailant. Jones maintained that G was not shot outside of Chalice.
Chalice Recording Studio did not immediately respond to a request for comment last week
