The Duke of Sussex has been named in the $30 million lawsuit against Sean ‘Diddy‘ Combs, where the rapper is accused of sex trafficking and sexual abuse.
Combs facing a large amount of sexual assault allegations, and is said to have drawn guests into his homes with VIP associations like celebrities, athletes, political figures, and more. In one of the cases, Prince Harry is named.
The 73-page lawsuit was filed last month by record producer Rodney Jones, and accuses the billionaire of being a serial sex abuser.
There is no suggestion of any wrongdoing by the prince, and his name is only mentioned once in the documents as an example of a well-known celebrity associate of Combs.
Combs also faces lawsuits from three other women. As of late, the properties in Miami and Los Angeles were searched by federal agents on Monday as apart of the ongoing investigation. The artists has even stepped down from his chair position at REVOLT.
US Homeland Security said: “Homeland Security Investigations New York executed law enforcement actions as part of an investigation, with assistance from HSI Los Angeles, HSI Miami, and our local law enforcement partners.”
In November last year, Combs was sued by his former girlfriend R&B singer Cassie, who alleged she had been raped, plied with drugs and assaulted by Combs over a 10-year period.

The suit was settled the next day, but the three other lawsuits followed over the next month, alleging that he had sexually abused the claimants or participated in revenge pornography against them.
In a statement in December, he described the claims as “sickening” and said his accusers were “looking for a quick payday”.
“Let me be absolutely clear: I did not do any of the awful things being alleged. I will fight for my name, my family and for the truth,” he said.
Also known as P Diddy and Puff Daddy, Combs is one of the most influential hip-hop producers and executives of the 21st century, and has previously worked with artists including Usher, Notorious BIG and Mary J Blige.
