The mother of Sean Diddy Combs is currently facing legal action for allegedly appropriating the Bad Boy label from the rapper’s former co-founder.
Kirk Burrowes, co-foundersand former president of Bad Boy Entertainment, asserts that he was compelled to relinquish his 25 percent interest in the record label to Combs during a tumultuous altercation in 1996.
He has subsequently initiated a lawsuit that contends Diddy employed a baseball bat to intimidate him into ceding his ownership of the enterprise.
The incarcerated music executive purportedly later transferred the shares to his mother, Janice Smalls.
When Burrowes reached out to Smalls following the event, he alleges that she feigned ignorance regarding Diddy’s purported actions, as documented in the lawsuit.
In the legal documents acquired by DailyMail.com, the displaced music executive indicates that he is presently homeless and has been subjected to “prolonged periods of living in shelters” throughout New York City as a result of financial difficulties.
Burrowes is pursuing litigation against Smalls, the predominant stakeholder of the label, whom he accuses of having “perpetrated a decades-long scheme of intimidation, violence, fraudulent misrepresentation, and financial concealment.”
He is seeking compensatory damages for economic losses, reinstatement of his 25 percent ownership interest, his 15 percent annual share with accrued interest, and a forensic examination of Bad Boy Entertainment’s revenue and profits from its inception to the present time.
