Diddy" Combs once again finds himself in hot water after a judge ordered him to pay $2.45 million in damages to a man who claims he was beaten by the rapper's bodyguards. As reported in the New York Post, Cedrick Bobby Lemon claims he was hired as a limousine driver in 1995 at a Mary J. Blige concert in Winston-Salem and was permitted to remain backstage. As the guards tried to clear the area for Mary J. Blige to leave, Lemon claims one of the guards punched him in the head and the others repeatedly kicked him. Judge William Wood ordered Combs to pay for failure to respond within the given 30-day time limit. Comb's spokesperson, Nathalie Moar issued a statement saying, "We have just learned of this lawsuit. We intend to take all necessary steps to have it dismissed." Back To Top
