\n\tC.J. Wallace, son of The Notorious B.I.G., has countersued for defamation after a Florida music producer and publicist accused him of participating in a sexual assault with Sean \u201cDiddy\u201d Combs.<\/p>\n

\n\tJonathan Hay filed a lawsuit this summer claiming that while working on a remix project with the Biggie estate in 2020, Wallace and an associate brought him to a house where Combs forced him to perform oral sex. The case also alleged multiple other instances of sexual misconduct by Combs, who\u2019s faced a barrage of civil assault lawsuits since being criminally charged last year.<\/p>\n

\n\tWallace is now hitting back at Hay with a countersuit in which he calls the allegations a \u201ccalculated smear campaign.\u201d The federal court complaint, filed Wednesday (Nov. 12), alleges Hay fabricated these claims because he was upset about their remix project falling through.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe countersuit alleges the estate decided to shelve the project \u2014 a house remix of Biggie\u2019s 1994 album Ready to Die<\/em>, called Ready to Dance <\/em>\u2014 after the first single (a remix of \u201cBig Poppa\u201d) flopped in August 2020. Wallace says Hay was \u201cirate\u201d at this decision and later came up with a phony story about the alleged Combs assault. \u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cThe statements constitute defamation,\u201d writes Wallace\u2019s attorney, Jeremiah Reynolds<\/strong> of Eisner LLP. \u201cAs a direct and proximate result, Wallace has suffered general and special damages, including loss of professional opportunities, humiliation and mental anguish.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tWallace\u2019s defamation claims don\u2019t actually target Hay\u2019s sexual assault lawsuit, since legal filings are broadly shielded from slander liability under a principle known as the litigation privilege. Instead, Wallace\u2019s case focuses on an October YouTube video in which Hay repeated and described his claims in detail.<\/p>\n

\n\tWhile Hay\u2019s assault lawsuit was filed anonymously, he revealed his identity in this video, titled \u201cJonathan Hay Details EXACTLY What Happen When Diddy A$$AULTED Him, Forced to S*CK D*CK & VlOLATED!\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tHay declined to comment on the countersuit when reached by Billboard <\/em>on Friday (Nov. 14), but noted that he\u2019s filed a police report in addition to the pending civil lawsuit against Combs and Wallace.<\/p>\n

\n\tCombs\u2019 reps did not immediately return a request for comment on the matter. The disgraced rap mogul is serving a prison sentence for arranging drug-fueled sex marathons between his girlfriends and male escorts, though he was acquitted of more serious sex-trafficking and racketeering charges at a blockbuster trial this summer.<\/p>\n
