COMBS SUED FOR ‘ORDERING MINDERS TO ATTACK’ PROMOTER
A hip-hop promoter is suing SEAN ‘DIDDY’ COMBS for allegedly ordering three bodyguards to attack him in a New York City nightclub.
James Waldon, 27, tried to introduce himself to Combs at The Box club on 1 June (07) when the incident took place, according to a lawsuit filed in Manhattan’s state Supreme Court last week (ends05Oct07).
Waldon alleges one minder punched him in the face onto a table, while two more bodyguards began hitting and kicking him. He claims he made his escape after Combs’ employees chased him around the venue.
According to the court papers, Waldon was left with mouth and teeth injuries.
Waldon is seeking $4 million (£2 million) in damages from Combs and his entourage and a further $500,000 (£250,000) from The Box.
The lawsuit isn’t the only one Combs is currently facing - on Monday (08Oct07), it emerged he is being sued by a former associate who claims the rap superstar owes him $19 million (£9.5 million) for music recorded by Notorious B.I.G.
