CJ Wallace Sues Publicist Over Sexual Crime Allegations Involving Diddy
The son of legendary rapper The Notorious B.I.G., CJ Wallace, is taking legal action against a publicist. This comes after the publicist, Jonathan Hay, filed a lawsuit against CJ and Sean “Diddy” Combs, accusing them of serious allegations.
CJ Wallace Countersues Publicist
CJ Wallace has filed a countersuit for defamation against Jonathan Hay. He claims that Hay’s accusations are baseless and part of a smear campaign. Hay’s original lawsuit alleged that CJ helped lead him to a situation where Diddy allegedly attempted to commit a sexual crime against him.
The Background of the Allegations
- Original Lawsuit: Filed by an anonymous man in July 2025.
- The Accusations: Claims that CJ and others lured him to Diddy, who allegedly tried to force him into sexual acts.
CJ contends that these accusations stem from disputes surrounding a failed music project in 2020. He had been collaborating with Hay and Willie Mack on the remix of Hay’s “Ready to Dance.” However, the project was shelved after the initial single did not perform well.
Reasons for the Lawsuit
According to CJ, he became concerned with Hay’s behavior and decided to cease collaboration following aggressive threats from Hay. He even issued a cease-and-desist letter when Hay threatened to release tracks without proper permission from Biggie’s estate.
- Erratic Behavior: CJ cites Hay’s unpredictable actions as a factor for ending their partnership.
- False Claims: In late 2024, Hay began making damaging remarks on YouTube, falsely insinuating CJ’s involvement in the allegations against Diddy.
These statements, reaching an audience of over 100,000 viewers, included claims about CJ’s personal relationships and directly implicated him in the alleged misconduct. CJ Wallace argues that Hay never made any such claims prior to his public appearances.
Legal Implications and Next Steps
CJ is seeking damages in response to the harm caused to his reputation and the distress attributed to Hay’s allegations. Meanwhile, Diddy’s team has also denied all accusations made against him in both lawsuits. The legal battle is ongoing and highlights the complexities of celebrity collaboration and public perception.
