Diddy Poised for Default Win in Lawsuit Over Courtney Burgess' Sex Tape Claims

Sean 'Diddy' Combs has moved to secure a default win in his defamation case against Courtney Burgess, with lawyers filing papers on Wednesday, 22 April, asking the court to rule in his favour after, they say, Burgess failed to respond to the lawsuit over alleged sex tapes. The filing means Sean 'Diddy' Combs could yet notch a procedural victory, though nothing has been confirmed by the court and the request still needs to be granted.

The latest move follows a lawsuit Combs filed before his 2025 conviction on prostitution-related charges, after Burgess publicly claimed he possessed videos showing the rapper in sexual encounters with eight celebrities, including two people he alleged were minors at the time.
