Amid Sean “Diddy” Combs’ prison stint, he’s been ensnared in a few different lawsuits, and one of them seemingly came to a conclusion this past spring. 56-year-old Combs filed suit against NBCUniversal, Peacock and Ample Entertainment in 2025 over the Diddy: The Making of a Bad Boy documentary. Diddy specifically sued for defamation due to claims made within the doc. However, a federal judge ruled in favor of the defendants and, now, Combs is reportedly facing the possibility of taking a financial hit as a result.
NBCUniversal is now requesting that the ex-rapper cover its legal fees in the aftermath of its favorable ruling. Per AllHipHop, the media conglomerate is asking that Combs pay $990,292 for legal compensation. The company initially sought $927,448, but it tacked on $62,844 after Combs rejected its fee application. Lawyers for the corporation argue that the “Come with Me” performer is legally bound to cover the costs due to New York's anti-SLAPP law since his claims centered around speech involving public-interest issues.
