Diddy Seeks to Overturn $100M Default Judgment

Sean 'Diddy' Combs is seeking to overturn a $100 million default judgment awarded to Michigan inmate Derrick Lee Cardello-Smith, who alleges Combs drugged and sexually assaulted him in 1997. Combs' attorneys argue he was not properly notified of the lawsuit and only learned of the judgment through media reports. They describe Cardello-Smith's claims as 'frivolous' and 'objectively unbelievable,' highlighting inconsistencies and the expiration of the statute of limitations. Cardello-Smith, serving a 75-year sentence for multiple sexual assault and kidnapping charges, claims Combs offered him $2.3 million to drop the lawsuit. Combs denies all allegations and aims to have the judgment dismissed, stating he was never served with the lawsuit.
