As a movie critic, I find myself delving into the complex world of Puff Daddy, or P. Diddy as he’s more commonly known, who currently stands accused of numerous federal charges while his trial looms on the horizon. Amidst this legal turmoil, Diddy has found himself embroiled in a series of lawsuits – allegations ranging from sexual assault to sex-trafficking and beyond. His legal team has since refuted these claims, speaking out on behalf of their client.
However, the drama doesn’t end there. A new lawsuit has been filed against the Grammy-winning artist, who was arrested in New York City back in September 2024. This latest suit also implicates heavyweights such as Jay-Z and LeBron James, leading their respective teams to issue official statements.
As a reviewer, I’d say that this legal saga unfolding in the world of hip hop is proving to be as captivating as any blockbuster film. The plot twists and turns continue to thicken, leaving us on the edge of our seats, eagerly awaiting the next developments.
What Is Diddy Being Accused Of In This Latest Lawsuit?
In this specific case, Manzaro Joseph is the person suing, who encountered Sean Combs (also known as Diddy) at a birthday celebration for King Combs, his son. According to the lawsuit obtained by TMZ, it’s alleged that Joseph was drugged and forced to attend the party held on Miami’s Star Island in April 2015. Additionally, Joseph claims he was made to wear a thong bikini bottom and black leather mask during the event at some point.
Additionally, Manzaro Joseph stated that at the beginning of the incident, he was forced into the rear entrance of Gloria and Emilio Estefan’s mansion. It is said that Gloria requested an ambulance upon noticing Joseph in a state influenced by drugs. Later on, it is alleged that Emilio dismissed his wife’s worries and proceeded with her to another location. During this time, it is claimed that Joseph was escorted through a corridor where he spotted LeBron James. According to the lawsuit, James – who was reportedly in a bath towel at the time – noticed Joseph and asked for some action to be taken regarding him.
During the dark hours, it’s claimed that Adria English, a former adult film star, guided Joseph to a vast section within Diddy’s mansion. Here, he is said to have woken up. In this room, he allegedly encountered Jay-Z and Beyoncé, who inquired, “What is a half-naked white man wearing a phallic mask doing standing before me?” It’s rumored that one of Diddy’s associates explained they were teaching Joseph a lesson about the consequences of informing on others.
Multiple individuals have been implicated in the legal case, among them being Brendan Paul, who’s accused of being a drug courier for Diddy, along with Emilio Estefan and Adria English, the latter having filed a sexual exploitation claim against Diddy in 2024. Manzaro Joseph is said to be taking legal action due to alleged human trafficking. Following his lawsuit, various representatives are speaking up about the situation.
How Did The Representatives Respond To The Latest Lawsuit Involving Sean Combs?
As a movie buff putting it in my own words,
In response to recent allegations made against Brendan Paul, his attorney Brian Bieber flat-out stated that the claims were not only false but also impossible to have taken place. Meanwhile, LeBron James’ representative has also refuted similar accusations leveled against the renowned basketball player. You might recall that James had been under fire earlier due to comments made about a “Diddy Party,” and now with this new situation unfolding, his representative has come out strongly saying that these allegations are unfounded.
It’s clearly untrue and unnecessary to address this claim, as a simple online search reveals that LeBron James spent the entirety of April 2015 playing basketball for the Cleveland Cavaliers, not in Miami.
Regarding Jay-Z (Shawn Carter) and Beyoncé, neither of them were defendants in this current lawsuit. However, Shawn Carter, also known as Jay-Z, was named in a past rape allegation. This case involved a woman who claimed she was sexually assaulted by two men in 2000 when she was just 13 years old. Carter strongly refuted these claims and, by February 2025, the case was ultimately dismissed. As for the recent lawsuit filed by Manzaro Joseph, Jay-Z’s lawyer, Alex Spiro, has made the following statement:
At that specific point, Mr. Carter was participating in publicly accessible activities rather than being in Florida to observe the incident. This raises further questions about the credibility of our justice system.
Additionally, a representative for Emilio and Gloria Estafan shared a statement. The person said:
Gloria and Emilio Estefan vehemently refute the accusations, asserting that the property in dispute was not their primary residence but a family-owned property. Furthermore, they state that no parties were hosted at this property from 2012 to 2019. They possess all required documents to substantiate these claims and are prepared to present them in court.
Sean Combs has found himself embroiled in several lawsuits due to controversies surrounding his Freak Off parties. At these gatherings, it’s claimed that women were pressured or paid to perform sexual acts. Similarly, allegations have been made about his Wild King Nights, where reports suggest the use of sex toys, drugs, excessive baby oil and other inappropriate activities took place.
Starting on May 5th, the court case against Sean Combs (also known as P. Diddy) begins. He’s been indicted for allegations including sex trafficking, arranging prostitution, racketeering, arson, and other criminal charges. At present, he is detained at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, awaiting the outcome of these legal proceedings. The trial’s outcome, as well as numerous lawsuits that might follow, remains to be seen.
