The two men had worked together for what was said to be about 14 months starting in the fall of 2022 on Combs’ “The Love Album: Off the Grid.” During that time, they produced nine songs for the album, according to Monday’s 73-page filing in New York federal court.
In a statement issued Monday, an attorney for Combs, Shawn Holley, a partner at Kinsella Holley Iser Kump Steinsapir, or KHIKS, dismissed the allegations, describing Jones as “nothing more than a liar who filed a $30 million lawsuit shamelessly looking for an undeserved payday. His reckless name-dropping about events that are pure fiction and simply did not happen is nothing more than a transparent attempt to garner headlines.”
The statement continued, “We have overwhelming, indisputable proof that his claims are complete lies. Our attempts to share this proof with Mr. Jones’ attorney, Tyrone Blackburn, have been ignored, as Mr. Blackburn refuses to return our calls. We will address these outlandish allegations in court and take all appropriate action against those who make them.”
The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) has called off its nationwide protest after the first day of the planned two-day protest.
The NLC also extended the ultimatum given to the federal government to fulfil the details of their agreements to the 13th of March.
The Labour union had declared a two-day nationwide protest over the rising prices and general economic hardship in the country. It also accused the government of failing to fulfil its side of the agreement reached with the union in October 2023.
But after the first day of protests on Tuesday, 27th February, the NLC suspended the protest.
Man accuses Taylor Swift of staging Demonic Rituals

As Taylor Swift continues her sold-out Eras tour, Boyzone’s Shane Lynch has stirred controversy by accusing the pop star of performing alleged demonic rituals during her concerts, adding fuel to the ongoing debate surrounding occult symbolism in the music industry.
Lynch, a Pentecostal born-again Christian, voiced his concerns in an interview with Ireland’s Sunday World newspaper, criticizing artists who incorporate what he perceives as “Satanic rituals” into their stage performances, often going unnoticed by the audience.
“I think when you’re looking at a lot of the artists out there, a lot of their stage shows are Satanic rituals live in front of 20,000 people without them realizing and recognizing,” Lynch stated, highlighting Taylor Swift among others.
He pointed to Swift’s concerts, alleging the presence of “demonic rituals” involving pentagrams on the ground and other symbolic elements, which some concertgoers may interpret merely as artistic expression.
Lynch also expressed his aversion to certain genres of music, citing hip-hop and Grime, claiming they contain “hidden Satanic” messages and “evil” within the beats.
The controversy surrounding Swift’s alleged involvement in occult practices escalated earlier this month when she went viral for a hand gesture during her performance of “Cruel Summer,” which some interpreted as “the sign of the horns,” a symbol associated with Satanism.
Despite the baseless claims, Swift’s Eras tour continues to draw massive crowds, with recent shows in Sydney and Melbourne attracting thousands of fans.
