Sean 'Diddy' Combs' Employees Were Required to Carry Pink Cocaine, Drug Found in Liam Payne's System: Complaint

A complaint filed in February alleges that employees working for Sean “Diddy” Combs were required to carry "pink cocaine," a drug that was also found in Liam Payne’s system following his death.

ABC News reported that a partial autopsy revealed that Payne, who died Oct. 16 after falling from a third-story balcony at a hotel in Buenos Aires, Argentina, had “multiple substances” in his body, including pink cocaine, a drug that the National Capital Poison Center says usually contains some mixture of methamphetamine, ketamine and MDMA. Cocaine is not necessarily found in the drug, despite its name.

The drug, also known as “Tuci,” is mentioned in a complaint filed by Rodney “Lil Rod” Jones, a producer and former videographer for Combs, who sued the music mogul in February, accusing him of sexual harassment. 

The complaint, which was obtained by PEOPLE, also alleges that Combs drugged him. The complaint also detailed claims that drug use was rampant within the mogul’s business enterprise.

The complaint alleges that “all employees, from the butler to the chef to the housekeepers,” were required to “walk around with a pouch or fanny pack filled with cocaine, GHB, ecstasy, marijuana gummies … and Tuci …”

Jones’ complaint was filed months after Combs was sued by his ex, Casandra “Cassie” Ventura, who accused him of sexual abuse. Cassie’s complaint was the first of a slew filed against Combs, accusing him of misconduct.

In the aftermath of Jones’ suit, an attorney for Combs vehemently denied the allegations in a statement.

“Mr. Jones is nothing more than a con man, shamelessly looking for an easy and wholly undeserved payday,” the statement said. “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 has refused to return our calls. We look forward to addressing these ridiculous claims in court, and intend to take all appropriate action against all who are attempting to peddle.”

After his homes in Los Angeles in Miami were raided, Combs was arrested in New York City and indicted by a federal grand jury on charges of sex trafficking, racketeering and transportation to engage in prostitution. He has pleaded not guilty.

At the center of indictment were alleged “freak offs,” which prosecutors have described as highly orchestrated sex performances involving male sex workers and women who were either forced or coerced into participating.

Prosecutors claim that Combs organized the “freak offs,” which often allegedly involved heavy narcotics usage and would sometimes last days.
