Janice Combs, mother of Sean “Diddy” Combs, is challenging allegations that she assisted her son in improperly claiming ownership of Bad Boy Entertainment’s music catalog.โฃ A recent filing in โขthe ongoing legal battle between Combs and music producer Steven Smallsโค alleges Janiceโ Combs played a role in a schemeโ to seize rightsโ to songs before theyโ wereโ legally secured.
Theโข dispute centers onโค claims that Diddy andโ his associates attemptedโ to control music rights, including theโข 1998 Godzilla soundtrack hit “Come With Me.” Smalls’ filing suggests Janice โCombsโ was involved in asserting ownership of the song prior to the rights being officially transferred. However, a previous $33 million RICOโ lawsuit filed by Janice combs โขagainst Diddy was dismissed without prejudice in โขSeptember, andโ Smalls’ latestโฃ motion is currently awaiting a court โdecision. The case underscoresโฃ the complex web of legalโข challenges surrounding Diddy as he โขfacesโ accusations of racketeering โand sexual misconduct,with the future of Bad Boy’sโ music catalog potentially โhangingโ inโค theโ balance.
