Houston Attorney Sues Roc Nation Over Alleged Client Payment Scheme in Diddy Cases
Attorney Tony Buzbee is suing Jay-Z's Roc Nation, claiming the company is financing efforts to undermine his legal cases against Sean 'Diddy' Combs. Buzbee represents over 100 clients with allegations against Diddy.

The lawsuit, filed in Harris County Texas, alleges Roc Nation hired investigators to contact Buzbee's current and former clients, offering payments to file lawsuits against his law firm. Buzbee claims to have recorded evidence of these activities.
According to a transcript shared by Buzbee, investigators allegedly stated: "We could get you paid... We gave this kid 1,000 bucks to start yesterday just to get him on the right path. At the end of the day, this is going to go through the courts, Buzbee is getting sued."
"These guys are on tape offering to pay my firm's clients to sue our law firm. That's a crime," Buzbee states. The lawsuit claims Roc Nation is orchestrating and funding this effort to obstruct justice by convincing clients to bring frivolous cases against The Buzbee Law Firm.
In response, a Roc Nation spokesperson told The Houston Chronicle: "Tony Buzbee's baloney lawsuit against Roc Nation is nothing but another sham. It's a pathetic attempt to distract and deflect attention. This sideshow won't change the ultimate outcome and true justice will be served soon."
