Stevie J had a lil’ praise session while showing love to Diddy, Christian, and Justin Combs. The award-winning producer shared a powerful quote while tagging Sean Combs and his sons in the Instagram Story post.
Stevie shared the moment on March 26. The footage shows him waving his hands and pacing inside a studio, vibing to a gospel tune. The quote he added in the post said, “No weapon formed against us shall prosper.”
It’s unclear what “weapons” he’s referring to, but at this time, Diddy and his sons are not facing any criminal charges. Though ABC News reported that the feds detained Justin and Christian Combs, it was also reportedly standard procedure in a home raid.
As previously reported, Homeland Security Investigations coordinated a bi-coastal effort to search homes connected to P Diddy on Monday and reportedly seized electronic devices. The search was initiated by HSI in New York.
For some background context, Stevie J is connected to a sexual assault case against Diddy. At the end of February, Stevie issued a statement and a representative did the same for Justin Combs. Their statements were responses to being mentioned in a lawsuit that Diddy’s former male employee filed. Note that this particular lawsuit naming Stevie J, P Diddy, and Justin was filed in the southern district of New York.
The man suing Diddy for $30 million is Rodney “Lil Rod” Jones. In his court documents, Jones alleges Diddy touched his genitals and walked around naked in front of him, drugging and “possibly” raping him.
Jones accuses Diddy of forcing him to watch a video of Stevie having sexual intercourse with another man. Diddy’s former employee also said Sean Combs instructed him, Stevie J, and Justin to “recruit” sex workers and underaged girls for his parties.
In an exclusive statement to TMZ, Stevie J denied the claims. Stevie’s praise session is the first time he’s seemingly addressed the lawsuit since saying his lawyer was in charge “going forward.”
Meanwhile, a representative for Justin Combs also strongly denied the allegations, accusing Jones of landing a payday.
“Justin Combs categorically denies these absurd allegations,” the statement reads. “They are all lies! This is a a clear example of a desperate person taking desperate measures in hopes of a pay day. There will be legal consequences for ALL defamatory statements made about the Combs family.”
Meanwhile, the news of the home raids and piling sexual assault lawsuits have put Diddy’s movements under a microscope. Same for those closest to him, including stepson Quincy Brown, who seemingly kept his distance in the recent public eye.
And while some, like Danity Kane’s Aubrey O’Day, rejoiced at the news of the raids, others, like Tyrese, refused to make a “mockery” of Diddy’s mounting accusations.
Meanwhile, the music mogul has largely stayed out of the public eye except for being spotted at an airport in Miami on Monday. He has previously maintained his innocence in statements denying assault claims.
