Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs sues company for $1B

Sean “Diddy” Combs filed a lawsuit against Diageo, alleging the spirits company treated his vodka and tequila brands as inferior “urban” products. The lawsuit was filed with the New York Supreme Court, and claims the company denied Combs’ brands certain resources, while giving more attention and funding to others. Combs said that Diageo leadership informed him that, as a Black man, his race was a deciding factor in limiting distribution to urban neighborhoods. He added that some Diageo executives even resented him for his wealth.
