Former publicist for The Notorious B.I.G's estate says he was sexually harassed
By Daryl Nelson
Ever since Diddy was arrested on charges of sex trafficking and racketeering last month, there's been a slew of civil suits filed against him, all related to alleged sex crimes.
One guy, though, is accusing people who've worked with The Notorious B.I.G's Estate of sexual misconduct and said he was encouraged to speak out after Diddy's arrest. That person's name is Jonathan Hay, who was hired by Biggie's son CJ Wallace to rework some of Biggie's songs.
"My experiences with the Biggie Smalls team turned abominable to say the least,” Hay told AllHipHop. "Similar to Diddy’s alleged practices, The Notorious B.I.G. estate refused to acknowledge my sexual harassment complaints when I awkwardly came forward. I wouldn’t participate in phone sex, nor would I watch one of the representatives of The Notorious B.I.G estate pleasure himself on a video chat during the pandemic."
"For two years after the disgusting incidents, I lived with regret that I didn’t go along with all that freaky a-s weirdness, as I was instantly shunned and they terminated the project," he added. "I lost a significant amount of money and almost two years of exclusive Biggie work.”
Hay also claimed that he once had a Zoom meeting with Diddy, Diddy's son Christian Combs , and two people who worked with Biggie's Estate to discuss his house remix of Biggie's 1994 classic "Big Poppa." He said while Diddy was telling him the remix wasn't up to par, the Bad Boy mogul was sniffing a substance that he identified as cocaine or ketamine. "I was flabbergasted he was sniffing, especially with this kid being on the Zoom too," Hay recalled.
Hay then said Diddy told him he should also be using ketamine when making house music since the ravers who'd be listening to the songs were also using it. Diddy's legal team has yet to respond to Hay's claims.
