Sean “Diddy” Combs was not dropped by a powerhouse law firm due to pressure from Lady Gaga.
The embattled Bad Boy Records founder — who is facing a string of sexual assault cases — is thought to have been dumped at least eight weeks ago by Grubman, Shire, Meiselas and Sacks due to the nature and number of the allegations.
But the firm has now said a report that claimed their client Gaga was behind the move is false.
“The decision to part ways with Mr. Combs was proactively made by the partners in the firm a number of months ago as they felt it was the right thing to do,” a spokesperson for the company told Page Six. “The report that the decision was the result of client pressure just isn’t true.”
Along with Gaga, Grubman, Shire, Meiselas and Sacks represent some of the biggest names in entertainment.
On June 28, NewsNation reported the firm dropped Combs due to pressure from the “Poker Face” singer.
“Lady Gaga said she was leaving [the firm] if they didn’t drop Diddy. And she’s too big to lose,” the outlet said an insider told them.
“That convo never happened,” a source who knows the singer told Page Six.
Several companies affiliated with Combs have parted ways with the disgraced rapper since he began facing lawsuits.
The New York Post has revealed Mayor Eric Adams revoked Combs’ key to the city three weeks after CNN leaked a video of him physically assaulting ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura in 2016 at a hotel.
Combs was also forced to step down as chairman and separate from Revolt TV, the media company he co-founded.
Combs recently scrubbed his Instagram amid mounting allegations against him, including the apology video he posted saying sorry after the footage of his assault on Ventura emerged.
“Listen to ‘The Love Album: Off the Grid’,” is the only message he left in his bio, telling his 9.9 million followers to click on the link to the Grammy-nominated record.
