Rodney 'Lil Rod' Jones breaks his silence on Diddy lawsuit, says he fears for his life

Producer Rodney "Lil Rod" Jones is speaking out for the first time since suing Sean "Diddy" Combs in a $30 million lawsuit earlier this year.

Jones — who was hired to work on Combs' Love Album: Off The Grid — has accused the disgraced mogul of sexual harassment, drugging him, and forcing him to sleep with sex workers.

Combs called his claims nothing more than a shakedown, although he's now being investigated by the feds for sex trafficking. Several women have also sued Combs for sexual assault, rape, and other crimes, but he denied wrongdoing.

Jones spoke with Rolling Stone about his lawsuit and admitted to being scared for his life.

"There have been too many people trying to figure out where I’m at," he said. "I moved locations, moved states. Everything is private. My mom doesn’t even know where I live. It’s been like that pretty much all year."

"I got threats," Jones also stated. "I’ve never had so much hitting me at once. Diddy has a lot of people on his payroll in a lot of different positions. He’s very connected. It’s made me nervous traveling. Going to hotels, I ask if there’s any way to remove my name. [The last time] I landed in L.A., I knew he had connections there. I got off the plane worried. I masked my face and changed my outfits, trying to disguise myself."

Jones also said he's been unable to tour since the lawsuit, and he's been blackballed. He did play a show with T-Pain at the Hollywood Bowl on Juneteenth but said he was scared the whole time, believing that Combs' people would harm him. The producer and multi-instrumentalist talked about struggling financially as well.

"I’m broke," Jones revealed. "I have no source of income right now. Every month I’m trying to figure out how the bills are going to get paid. I had my phone turned off for like 24 hours. And a lot of people just sit back and watch. But T-Pain is a real friend."

On Monday, August 26, Combs filed a motion in Manhattan federal court to have Jones' suit dismissed with his attorney calling it “meaningless allegations and blatant falsehoods." The attorney also accused Jones of trying to “generate media hype and exploit it to extract a settlement.”
