Combs’ attorney, Shawn Holley, previously told Page Six that “Lil Rod is nothing more than a liar” seeking to “shamelessly” win the $30 million lawsuit.

In November 2023, the “I Need A Girl” singer’s ex-girlfriend, Casandra Ventura – known by her stage name Cassie – was the first to accuse Diddy of rape and abuse. His case was quickly resolved in November 2023.

In light of Monday’s searches, his attorney Douglas Wigdor released the following statement to Page Six: “We will always support law enforcement as they seek to prosecute those who have violated the law. Hopefully this is the beginning of a process that will hold Mr. Combs accountable for his depraved conduct.

A few weeks after settling down with his ex, Combs was hit by three additional lawsuits of women claiming he had sexually assaulted them.
