| Published 26m ago Sean 'Diddy' Combs has filed a $50 million defamation lawsuit against a man who alleged he had videos of the rapper engaged in sexual assault.

Diddy - who is in behind bars at Brooklyn's Metropolitan Detention Center awaiting trial - claimed in the lawsuit that Burgess had alleged he had videos of the rapper"involved in the sexual assault of celebrities and minors," and accused him and his lawyer of repeating the allegations to several news outlets, including NewsNation.

But Diddy's lawyers insisted he has never met Burgess, nor does the man have any association with his family. It went on to reference a segment that aired on NewsNation in September where the lawyer allegedly"falsely stated" recordings of Diddy in compromising positions with other stars had been leaked through Hollywood, and claimed people were unknowingly recorded in his home.The lawsuit noted there was"no evidentiary support" of the allegations.
