UMG Boss Wants Court Dismissal From Lil Rod’s Diddy Lawsuit
The music industry was rocked by a lawsuit filed by producer Rodney “Lil Rod” Jones against Diddy, which includes some serious allegations of sexual assault and sex trafficking. This case has gained even more attention, as two major record companies, Motown and Universal Music Group (UMG), and an individual, Sir Lucian Grainge, head of UMG, have been named defendants. The UMG defendants have filed a motion asking the judge to throw out all claims against them with prejudice. In court documents reportedly obtained by journalist Meghann Cuniff, lawyers for the UMG defendants have argued that all claims against them lack any legally cognizable basis. The legal team representing the UMG defendants has further stated that Lil Rod’s lawsuit claims that Lucian Grainge helped Sean Combs engage in his crimes, which Grainge’s attorneys have denied outright.
The attorneys also alleged that the plaintiff and his counsel have blown up a $50,000 claim for underpayment for production services into criminal accusations against Sean Combs and his associates. These are some serious allegations that could have far-reaching implications for the music industry, and it remains to be seen how the case will unfold. This case raises important questions about the role of record companies and their executives in such situations. The music industry is closely watching this case to see how it will impact its practices and policies going forward.

Here's the full memo.
“unwilling to acknowledge that they never had a basis for any claim against the UMG Defendants, Plaintiff and Blackburn simply invent new foundational allegations for the claims in the SAC.” https://t.co/cv0tPRATnr
