In a complaint filed in February, Rodney ‘Lil Rod’ Jones said that Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs’ employees were told to keep a drug called “pink cocaine” with them at all times. This is the same substance that was present in Liam Payne’s system when he died.
ABC News reports that Payne, who was staying at a hotel in Buenos Aires on October 16, fell from a third-floor balcony and died. The partial autopsy performed on him revealed that he had several foreign substances in his body, including ‘pink cocaine’, widely known as ‘toosie’.
Despite the name, the National Capital Poison Center claims that the drug contains a mixture of methamphetamine, ketamine and MDMA, with no cocaine found in it.
According to People, these claims were made as part of a lawsuit by Jones, Combs’ former employee as a producer and videographer, who claimed the music entrepreneur sexually assaulted her.
The complaint, which the outlet had access to, revealed that Diddy drugged Jones and that drugs were heavily used throughout Combs’ businesses. The rapper’s staff was apparently forced to carry a whole bunch of drugs, including cocaine, GHB, Ecstasy, marijuana gummies, and Tussi.

Jones’ claims come as P Diddy’s former partner Cassie Ventura also filed a separate lawsuit alleging that P Diddy sexually assaulted her.
In light of Jones’ lawsuit, Combs’ spokesperson strongly rejected the allegations and branded Jones as a “swindle artist” out to enrich himself at her expense. The statement confirmed that they had evidence that would refute Jones’ allegations. There was no response when they reached out to Jones’ attorney Tyrone Blackburn. The spokesperson further said that Combs was very willing to settle the charges in court with all the evidence he had.
In connection with these incidents, Combs was later charged in another legal case when federal agents raided his Los Angeles and Miami residences. He was charged with sex trafficking, racketeering, and transportation for the purposes of prostitution, and the rapper pleaded not guilty to all counts. The indictment focuses on alleged ‘eccentricity’ which prosecutors referred to as forced sexual performance involving drugs, male sex workers and women.
Meanwhile, late One Direction singer Liam Payne’s toxicology report reveals that ‘pink cocaine’ may have been the cause of his death. Police also suggested that he may have suffered a fatal fall due to drug-induced hallucinations.
