Sean “Diddy” Combs is not here for the drama—unless it’s in his music or on a stage. The music mogul has launched a legal missile, aiming squarely at a man who claims to possess video evidence of Diddy engaging in… let’s call it “spicy activities.”
And here’s the twist: the guy making the claims? Oh, he’s not sipping piña coladas on a beach somewhere—he’s chilling in jail. That’s right, this man, 55-year-old Courtney Burgess, is currently behind bars, waiting for his big debut in court on sex trafficking charges. Clearly, he thought, “Why not multitask with some lawsuits while I’m at it?”
On Wednesday (January 22), Diddy filed a $50 million defamation lawsuit in New York, dragging Courtney, his lawyer Ariel Mitchell, and Nexstar Media into the legal spotlight. Apparently, these three musketeers have been spreading tales about some, ahem, “tapes” that supposedly star Diddy and a few other A-listers.
But hold up—Diddy says these tapes? Pure fiction. Fairy tales. Urban legends. “Never happened,” according to his lawyer Erica Wolff, who came in hot with a statement:
“Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs is DONE with these cooked-up lies. These defendants are out here making up stories with the enthusiasm of someone writing fanfiction at 3 a.m. Their tall tales have polluted public perception and tainted the jury pool. Enough is enough!”
Translation: Diddy is ready to shut this circus down.
Now, here’s where things go full soap opera: Courtney claims these so-called tapes were handed to him by Diddy’s late ex, Kim Porter. (Cue dramatic gasp.) And, wait for it, one clip allegedly shows Justin Bieber sharing a smooch with an unidentified male. Yep, you read that right.
But Courtney isn’t backing down. He swears the footage is “100% real,” like it came straight from a Hollywood blockbuster director’s cut. Meanwhile, Ariel Mitchell, Courtney’s lawyer, added her two cents, calling the tapes “pornographic” and claiming they’re making their rounds in Hollywood like some sort of underground mixtape.
At this point, you’ve gotta wonder—are we in a courtroom or an episode of The Real Housewives of Hip-Hop? Whatever the case, Diddy’s $50 million lawsuit has the potential to shut all of this down faster than a bad Wi-Fi connection.
So, grab your popcorn, because this legal drama is just heating up. Diddy’s not here to play games—he’s here to win lawsuits and take names.
