Sean 'Diddy' Combs has been ordered to pay $477,700.50 (about £361,960) in attorneys' fees after the dismissal of his $100 million (£76 million) defamation lawsuit over the Peacock documentary Diddy: The Making of a Bad Boy.

The fee order, filed on 6 October, awards the money to defendants NBCUniversal Media, Peacock TV and production company Ample. New York Supreme Court Justice Phaedra F. Perry-Bond approved less than half of the $990,292 (£750,290) they requested, according to reporting on the decision.
