Sean "Diddy" Combs required his inner circle to sign an ironclad non-disclosure agreement to protect his privacy and reputation.
This binding three-page document strictly forbade discussing or mentioning Diddy, his family, or his business relationships.
According to the obtained NDA, the agreement was to remain enforceable for extending beyond Diddy's lifetime by 20 years or a total of seventy years, whichever duration is more prolonged.
Diddy's Non-Disclosure Agreement
Radar Online obtained the document.
One part said, "The [NDA] shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective heirs, executors, administrators, representatives...designees, successors and assigns."
Referred to as the "NDA Standard Combs" within legal filings, the agreement for the year 2022 explicitly emphasizes in its second paragraph the significance placed on Diddy's public image and personal affairs.
"Sean 'Diddy' Combs, a/k/a Puff Daddy ('Artist') privacy is highly valued, and all efforts will be made to maintain confidentiality with respect to all information and other material of any kind (including, without limitation, the terms, conditions, and existence of this Agreement) ..."
Among those who stand to benefit from the deal are, but are not limited to, Diddy, his family members, former and current romantic partners, close friends, and business connections.
Discussion of Diddy's business and entertainment transactions, financial matters, personal life, or any details that could potentially damage, degrade, or cast a negative light on Diddy, his family, or associates was strictly prohibited.
In the event of any violation of the agreement, the non-disclosure agreement, the person will be forced to pay monetary damages.
Diddy's Legal Woes
In the legal case involving a $30 million lawsuit for alleged sexual harassment, the confidential NDA has emerged as crucial evidence. Music producer Rodney "Lil Rod" Jones, who resided with Diddy between September 2022 and November 2023 while collaborating on the album Love, has brought forth the allegations against the music mogul.
According to the federal lawsuit, "Throughout his time living with Mr. Combs, Mr. Jones was the victim of constant unsolicited and unauthorized groping and touching of his anus by Mr. Combs."
In response to the allegations, Diddy, represented by his attorney Shawn Holley, strongly refuted any wrongdoing, despite a recent raid on Diddy's residences in Los Angeles and Miami by the Department of Homeland Security on March 25. The raid was reportedly linked to suspicions of a sex trafficking operation.
"We became aware of certain allegations during the civil suits against Mr. Combs," one Miami agent revealed to the Post. "You have to understand that we didn't just decide to search his homes on a whim. A federal judge had to sign off."
Initially gaining the media spotlight, Diddy's well-known NDAs made headlines after singer Aubrey O'Day disclosed her decision not to sign the agreement to secure publishing rights to her music.
She said last year, "I have to release him for any claims or wrongdoings or actions prior to the date of the release."
Aubrey also said, "I have to sign an NDA that I will never disparage [Diddy], Bad Boy [Records], [his mother] Janice Combs or [son] Justin Combs' music, or EMI, or Sony ever in public."
