Odell Beckham Jr. and Druski have spoken out after being named in a lawsuit against Sean “Diddy” Combs.
Ashley Parham alleged in a filing made last October that she was drugged, kidnapped, and assaulted by multiple individuals after saying she believed the embattled music mogul had been involved in the 1996 murder of rapper Tupac Shakur.
The lawsuit claimed that her ordeal went on “until eventually she had no control over body nor could she move her body.”
An amended filing has now included Beckham Jr. and Druski (real name Desbordes), along with singer Jaguar Wright.
Influencer and comedian Druski, 30, took to X, formerly Twitter, to share a statement denouncing what he called “fabricated lies”.
He wrote: “This allegation is a fabricated lie. I wasn’t a public figure in 2018 – I was broke living with my mom without any connections to the entertainment industry at the time of this allegation, so the inclusion of my name is truly outlandish.
“My heart breaks for actual victims of abuse, but I’m fully confident that the evidence will expose this falsehood and the individuals who are maliciously trying to game the legal system to pedal false narratives.”
Replying to his post, 32-year-old former Super Bowl champion Beckham Jr. made his own stance clear, writing: “Boy I’ll tell u what. This world makes absolutely no sense. I am covered by God. He will prevail. I kno who am I , I kno who u are, keep ur head. That name will be cleared. Shxts stupid (SIC)”.
Last month, his lawyer Anthony Ricco filed a motion to quit, saying “under no circumstances can I continue”.
Mr Ricco, who is one of Coombs’ six defense attorneys, said his decision to leave would not delay Combs’ case and the trial can move forward in May.
The judge will sign off on the decision if they find sufficient reason to approve it.
