A lawyer representing music producer Rodney Jones, who accused Sean 'Diddy' Combs of sexual assault, has alleged that UMG Recordings and Motown Records were involved in funding the rapper's alleged sex trafficking activities. The lawyer, Tyrone Blackburn, stated in a letter to the court that the defendants chose to partner with Combs, thereby supporting his sex trafficking operation.
Blackburn's letter was in response to UMG Recordings and Motown Records' attempt to be removed from Jones' legal proceedings following a human trafficking investigation involving Combs. Blackburn claimed that UMG Recordings did not adhere to its contract with Combs and accused Motown Records of failing to allocate a budget to Combs as per their agreement.
