Diddy isn't the only Combs facing legal issues.

It goes without saying that Diddy's family members have a lot on their plate at the moment. Last month, the Bad Boy founder was arrested in New York City, where he's been behind bars ever since. He's facing charges related to alleged racketeering and sex trafficking, and could reportedly face a minimum of 15 years and a maximum of life in prison if convicted.

He's not the only Combs dealing with legal issues these days, however. Earlier this week, his son Justin was hit with a $190K lawsuit. According to In Touch Weekly, Porsche Leasing LTD served the 30-year-old with the lawsuit in June of this year at Diddy's home in Beverly Hills. However, it would appear as though both sides are working towards a quick resolution and that it will all be fixed, very soon.

Justin Combs' Lawyer Says Lawsuit "Is Being Settled"

The company accused him of missing roughly $170K worth of payments on a 2022 Bentley Bentayga V8. In addition to that money, they're seeking $13K in interest. Allegedly, Justin agreed to make 42 payments on the vehicle, then defaulted on the deal in December of 2023. As a result, Porsche reportedly demanded that the entire rest of the car be paid off. “Therefore, there is now due, owing and unpaid from the Defendant the approximate sum of $172,601.43, plus additional charges pursuant to the terms of the Agreement. Interest accrues from December 20, 2023, at the legal rate of 10% per annum, until paid in full,” the lawsuit reads, per The Shade Room.

Justin's attorney Jeffrey Lichtman responded to the lawsuit in a statement to In Touch Weekly. “Due to an address change, Justin did not receive his bill, which resulted in unintentionally missed payments. We are in touch with the creditor, and the matter is being settled. The outstanding balance will be paid, and the lawsuit will be dropped,” he said.
