Overview
- Jonathan Hay, a Largo, Florida music producer, publicly said he is the John Doe who filed a Los Angeles civil complaint accusing Sean “Diddy” Combs of sexual assault.
- Hay alleges two incidents tied to a Notorious B.I.G. project: a 2020 photo shoot in Los Angeles and a 2021 encounter after he was restrained and taken to another location.
- Police in Florida confirmed assisting Los Angeles investigators, and the matter has been referred to the Los Angeles County District Attorney for potential criminal charges.
- Hay’s lawsuit, filed in July 2025, also names managers of Think Big; a lawyer for Notorious B.I.G.’s son called the claims absurd and baseless.
- Combs’ legal team denies the allegations, and the developments come as he serves a four-year federal sentence after a July conviction on transportation to engage in prostitution.
