Title: Lawyer Claims UMG Recordings and Motown Records Funded Diddy’s Alleged Sex Trafficking Operation
In a shocking development, a lawyer for Rodney Jones, the music producer who accused Sean “Diddy” Combs of sexual assault, has claimed that recording giant UMG Recordings and the Motown Records division “funded” the rapper’s alleged sex trafficking operation.
The lawyer, Tyrone Blackburn, wrote a letter to the court on April 9 stating, “If defendants are concerned about having a salacious claim filed against them, they should not engage in salacious acts.” Blackburn alleged that it was the choice of UMG Recordings and Motown Records to enter a general business partnership with Combs, which allegedly funded his sex trafficking operation.
The letter, obtained by Fox News Digital, was filed in response to UMG Recordings and Motown Records’ bid to be removed from Jones’ legal proceedings shortly after Combs’ homes were raided by Homeland Security as part of a human trafficking investigation.
UMG Recordings and Motown Records have denied the allegations, with a lawyer for the recording companies arguing that Jones’ inclusion of the labels in the lawsuit was an attempt to fit a square peg into a round hole.
Jones initially accused Combs of sexually assaulting him and forcing him to perform sex acts with prostitutes in a lawsuit filed in February. He has since amended his complaint to add claims that he was also sexually assaulted by Cuba Gooding Jr.
The legal battle continues as Jones seeks justice for the alleged misconduct he faced while working with Combs on his latest album. The case has garnered significant attention and controversy, with both sides vehemently defending their positions.
As the investigation unfolds, the music industry is left reeling from the scandalous accusations and the potential implications for the future of these prominent figures in the entertainment world. Stay tuned for more updates on this developing story.
