Diddy is accusing Lil Rod of hiring sex workers for himself and willingly using drugs before casting those choices as coercion.
The allegation appears in Diddy’s August 11 amended answer and counterclaims in their $30 million federal court fight.
Diddy’s filing quotes Lil Rod’s Netflix account to dispute who directed the Miami recruitment he described.
“He falsely explained that ‘they [meaning Mr. Combs and his team] gave me the Bad Boy hat – they would tell me ‘yo, put this hat on, get some girls to come back to the house.’”
Diddy then denies giving those orders and makes a far more personal allegation about why Lil Rod brought women home.
“Mr. Combs never told Mr. Jones to ‘recruit[] sex workers.’ Mr. Combs never told Mr. Jones to put on his ‘Bad Boy hat’ and ‘get some girls to come back to the house.’ Upon information and belief, Mr. Jones had a personal proclivity for sleeping with sex workers and would hire sex workers for himself on his own accord.”
The filing attacks Lil Rod’s account that he unknowingly received drugs while engineering The Love Album: Off the Grid.
“Upon information and belief, Mr. Jones voluntarily consumed drugs and alcohol while working on the Album. Mr. Jones’s statements in his Netflix interview that Mr. Combs drugged him are positively false and Mr. Jones knew they were false because no such thing ever happened.”
Lil Rod, whose legal name is Rodney Jones, has maintained the opposite account since suing Diddy in February 2024.
His complaint alleges Diddy forced him to solicit sex workers, supplied the Bad Boy hat and repeatedly drugged him without consent.
Earlier AllHipHop coverage reported Lil Rod described being sexually assaulted, drugged and forced to solicit sex workers while working for Diddy.
These new accusations remain Diddy’s claims, and the filing supplies no independent evidence establishing Lil Rod’s private drug use or hiring practices.
Diddy’s filing turns those competing accounts into a defamation claim, while the court’s March 2025 ruling left sexual-assault and trafficking allegations against him alive.
Lil Rod had not publicly answered the counterclaims, leaving Diddy’s new version uncontested but unproven outside his own filing.
Under federal procedure, Lil Rod generally has 21 days after service to answer unless Judge J. Paul Oetken changes the timetable.
