A self-proclaimed member of the Sinaloa drug cartel filed a lawsuit against hip-hop mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs and Bad Boy Entertainment, alleging defamation that he claims ruined his illicit drug business.
Diddy vs. Sinaloa cartel member
The case, filed in the Southern District of New York, was swiftly dismissed by Chief U.S. District Judge Laura Taylor Swain on August 12.
Alfredo P. Gonzalez, currently incarcerated in Colorado, sought $666,000 in damages, asserting that Combs and his associates had tarnished his reputation in New York’s criminal underworld.
According to Gonzalez’s complaint, the trouble began when he refused to assist Combs’ alleged requests to traffic minors for parties.
