Diddy Sued By Someone in Prison?

Diddy aka Sean Combs is reportedly being sued by a former associate who filed the lawsuit from prison claiming Diddy owes him more than $19 million for music by Notorious B.I.G. The former employee, James Sabationo, for Diddy’s Bad Boy Entertainment Inc. claims he flew B.I.G. to Miami in 1994 to perform a show and record some music. Although a contract was never signed, Sabationo says that it was understood that the music session which contained about 17 minutes of vocals and 90 minutes of video footage because he paid for the rapper’s travel expenses and studio time.

According to the lawsuit, Diddy agreed to buy the music and video footage from Sabatino for $200k after B.I.G. was killed in 1997 and gave Sabatino a check for $25k with a promise to pay the rest of the money in 60 days. The lawsuit also indicates that the $19 million is being sought for both actual and punitive damages.

It sounds like he doesn’t have a shot in hell in getting $19 million, but I guess it’s worth the try. What does he have to lose anyway? He’s in prison.
