Employees of embattled music mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs have reportedly raised concerns over delayed or unpaid wages while the rapper and producer remains incarcerated in New Jersey.
According to multiple media reports, a business management firm, Tri Star Sports & Entertainment Group, is currently overseeing Combs’ finances and closely monitoring his spending following his legal troubles.
Staff, Legal Teams Allegedly Unpaid
Sources familiar with the matter claim that several individuals working on Diddy’s civil lawsuits, including attorneys and support staff, have not been paid for their services. The situation has reportedly led to at least one employee resigning in frustration over delayed compensation.
The alleged payment delays come amid heightened scrutiny of Combs’ financial affairs as he serves time in prison.
Diddy’s Camp Denies Claims
However, Combs’ representative, Juda Engelmayer, has strongly denied the allegations, insisting that all personnel are being paid as required.
“People, personnel, and attorneys are all being paid, and no one is leaving,” Engelmayer said in response to the claims.
She further clarified that despite the involvement of Tri Star Sports & Entertainment Group, Diddy still maintains control over his finances.
“Sean Combs controls his own finances. Everyone gets paid for their work once it’s completed and confirmed, after routine review,” Engelmayer added.
Strict Financial Controls Extended to Family
Reports also suggest that the financial oversight extends beyond employees to Diddy’s family members. Sources claim relatives must submit invoices to Tri Star Sports & Entertainment Group if they exceed approved budgets, with some requests allegedly denied.
The measures are said to be part of strict financial controls implemented while the rapper serves his sentence.
Diddy Serving 50-Month Sentence
Sean “Diddy” Combs is currently serving a 50-month prison sentence, with time already served credited, after being convicted of transporting individuals for prostitution, a ruling that marked a dramatic fall for one of hip-hop’s most influential figures.
The case continues to attract widespread attention as questions linger over the state of his business empire and financial obligations during his incarceration.
