Tengrinews.kz - The scandalously famous American rapper Sean Combs, better known by his stage name P. Diddy, has filed a defamation lawsuit for 50 million dollars. He estimates that amount as the economic and reputational damage caused to him.

According to People, the musician filed the lawsuit against Courtney Burgess, attorney Ariel Mitchell, and Nextstar Media Group, the parent company of the television network NewsNation.
