Prince Harry has been named in US court papers relating to a $30 million lawsuit claiming Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs is a sexual abuser of men and women, MailOnline can reveal today.
Record producer Rodney ‘Lil Rod’ Jones’ filed the lawsuit against Diddy, claiming his ‘affiliation’ with the Duke of Sussex and other stars gave ‘legitimacy’ to him and his associates.
Lil Rod’s Lawyers Claim Guests Were Lured to Diddy’s alleged sex trafficking parties due to his “access to celebrities such as famous athletes, political figures, artists, musicians and international dignitaries such as British royalty, Prince Harry,” court documents filed in New York say.
Court documents filed in the United States last month do not suggest any wrongdoing on Prince Harry’s part. MailOnline has asked the Duke of Sussex for comment.
While Harry is not facing a legal claim, it is not the first time the royal has been embroiled in serious legal allegations in the US, with Prince Andrew forced to settle a lawsuit brought by Virginia Giuffre , a sex slave of Jeffrey Epstein.
It came hours after the Department of Homeland Security raided Diddy’s mansions in Los Angeles and Florida. Diddy was also seen tense when he was finally spotted at a Miami airport, after his private jet was tracked to Antigua, but he was not on it.
Combs, a billionaire, already faces lawsuits from three women and has lost a series of business deals in the wake of the lawsuits.

The star ties helped Diddy build a reputation for “throwing the ‘best’ parties,” the documents state, and also generated money for Diddy, his associates and businesses such as his record labels.
Prince William and Prince Harry met P Diddy and Kanye West at a post-concert party the Princes hosted to thank everyone who took part in the ‘Concert for Diana’ at Wembley Stadium in 2007.
However, the Prince of Wales is not named in the court documents. It’s unknown how many times Harry has met the rapper since then, if at all.
‘Lil Rod’, who produced nine songs on Diddy’s 2023 ‘The Love Album: Off the Grid’, says he was ordered to recruit prostitutes and have sex with them for the star’s pleasure at his parties. He also says the hip-hop mogul sexually assaulted him.
Jones claims that underage girls and sex workers were invited to parties at the star’s house and that he saw the star spike their drinks. He also claims that he has hundreds of hours of video documenting Combs’ “serious illegal activity.”
Jones has also named some of the industry’s biggest names as co-defendants in his $30 million lawsuit.
Diddy has denied the existing allegations against him, calling them “disgusting,” and his lawyer dismissed Jones’ claims as “pure fiction.”
“Lil Rod is nothing more than a liar who brazenly filed a $30 billion lawsuit seeking an undeserved payday,” attorney Shawn Holley told TMZ in February.
Combs recruited Jones in August 2022 to produce some of the songs on the R&B album ‘The Love Album: Off the Grid’, which was nominated for a Grammy upon its release in September 2023.
“Mr. Jones agreed and his life has been adversely affected ever since,” the lawsuit states.
For more than a year, she endured “constant, unsolicited and unauthorized groping and touching of the anus” at Combs’ homes in Florida, Los Angeles and New York, as well as on a rented yacht in the U.S. Virgin Islands.
Combs introduced Cuba Gooding Jr to him on the yacht where the actor allegedly began “touching, groping and caressing Mr. Jones’ legs, upper inner thighs near groin, lower back near buttocks.” and shoulders.”
He claims he was also sexually assaulted by a cousin of Combs’ girlfriend, Yung Miami, and forced to watch a video of record producer Stevie J having sex with another man.

Jones was supposed to work in Combs’ bathroom, where the star showered naked behind a glass partition, according to the lawsuit.
The producer alleges that Combs bragged about shooting people and threatened to inflict bodily harm if Jones did not comply with his demands.
It says the “forceful and demanding” star privately admitted his involvement in a 1999 nightclub shooting that cleared him of gun possession and bribery charges.
“Mr. Combs has always made it clear that he has immense power in the music industry and with authorities,” the lawsuit states.
Jones claims that underage girls and sex workers were invited to parties at the star’s house and that he saw the star spike their drinks.
He also claims he was ordered to go to Miami bars and nightspots to recruit sex workers, and says he himself was drugged in February of last year before waking up naked, dizzy and confused in bed with Combs and two sex workers.
Their lawsuit also names as defendants Combs’ son Justin, his chief of staff Kristina Khorram, and Universal Music Group CEO Sir Lucian Grange.
He accuses Khorram of “grooming” him on Combs’ behalf and claims that Motown Records, Love Records and Universal Music Group formed a “Rico enterprise” that “failed to adequately monitor, warn or supervise” Combs and his inner circle.
Last year, Diddy was accused of “savagely” beating and raping his ex-girlfriend.
Sean Combs, the rapper known as Puff Daddy in the 1990s and later P. Diddy, is accused in a lawsuit of having abused Casandra Ventura for a decade after he signed her to his label when she was 19.
Ventura, 37, a singer who performs under the name Cassie, alleges that Combs forced her to have sex with prostitutes and that he filmed the encounters.
The rapper and music industry mogul was sued in November by singer Cassie, who accused him of rape and physical abuse before the case was settled out of court.
He is accused of blowing up a love rival’s car, drugging her and raping her despite her pleas to stop, his lawsuit filed in New York states.
Combs, 54, now simply called Diddy, is estimated to be worth $1 billion (€917 million) thanks to his association with the Ciroc vodka brand. He is considered one of the most influential names in rap, best known for hits such as I’ll Be Missing You and Last Night.
Ventura says she was 19 when Combs, then 37, signed her to his record label, Bad Boy, in 2006. She claims Combs gave her drugs, including ecstasy and ketamine, shortly afterward to make her “docile.” Ms. Ventura alleges that Combs controlled “every aspect of her life,” including her medical records.
Among the alleged episodes of ‘intense violence’ was a beating in a van while returning home from a party with rapper Jay-Z.
On another occasion, a jealous Combs allegedly dragged Ventura out of a club, “stomping on her face,” leaving her with injuries so severe that she had to recover for a week in a hotel.
Perhaps the most disturbing claims are that Combs allegedly forced Ms. Ventura to participate in drug-fueled parties where she had sex with prostitutes while wearing costume masks while he filmed him performing a sex act on himself.
The lawsuit states: “Ms. Ventura was repulsed by Mr. Combs’ demands, but between the physical beating and the recognition of his incredible power and temperament, Ms.
Ventura was petrified before her partner and boss, and felt like she couldn’t say no.
In another alleged incident, an enraged Combs dangled Ventura’s friend over the balcony of a 17th-floor hotel. He is also alleged to have threatened to blow up the car of his love rival, rapper Kid Cudi, which then exploded on his way home. entrance, although it is not clear who was responsible. In September 2018, after Ventura attempted to break up, Combs allegedly forced his way into her home and raped her.
The lawsuit seeks unspecified damages for sex trafficking, sexual assault, sexual assault and stalking. Combs denies the claims.
