Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs’ legal woes continue to mount: he is now being sued by Kirk Burrowes, the co-founding partner and former president of Bad Boy Entertainment

Sean “Diddy” Combs’ legal woes continue to mount, as he is now being sued by Kirk Burrowes, the co-founding partner and former president of Bad Boy Entertainment, according to People magazine.

On February 28, Burrowes’ lawyer filed a suit against his former business partner, accusing him of sexual abuse, coercion and violence. Burrowes claims that Combs subjected him to “repeated sexual harassment, physical aggression and forced compliance with degrading sexual acts” including “unwanted sexual advances” such as “nudity, sexual overtones, voyeurism and acts of exhibitionism”.

The news comes just days after Burrowes took legal action against Combs’ mother, Janice Combs, saying she unlawfully took control of his 25 per cent stake of Bad Boy after Combs allegedly threatened physical violence.

It’s not the first time Burrowes has filed a suit against Combs. Back in 2003, he sued the disgraced hip-hop mogul over an alleged incident from 1996, but the earlier complaint was dismissed.

Combs has denied the new allegations. “This latest lawsuit filed by Kirk Burrowes, filed by none other than Tyrone Blackburn [Burrowes’ lawyer], is another frivolous attempt to re-litigate claims that have been repeatedly thrown out of court over the past 30 years,” Combs’ legal team shared in a statement to People magazine. “Despite repeated dismissals, Burrowes and Blackburn are intent on wasting the court’s time and resources by refiling dismissed claims and now dragging Mr. Combs’ 80-year-old mother into this,” they added.
