Remember that guy who testified that he allegedly saw Sean “Diddy” Combs’ sex tapes and was in possession of Kim Porter’s tell-all memoir? Well, he just got swept into some serious legal mess but not by the mogul himself – by his sons.

Christian and Quincy Combs have defended their father in the pending federal sex crime case against him with supporting messages on social media. However, they’re alleged to have taken the legal route as of recent. TMZ reports the two issued a cease and desist letter against Courtney Burgess, a witness who claimed in grand jury testimony that he saw several sex tapes including Combs and other celebrities, two of them appearing to be underaged.

Burgess also claimed he received several flash drives from a friend, one of which having belonged to Combs’ late ex-wife Kim Porter. On that drive was manuscript that appeared to be taken from Porter’s private journals which were alleged to have been the raw edit of her widely speculated memoir, Burgess said.

In the cease and desist, obtained by TMZ, Combs’ sons claim they are the rightful owners of Porter’s intellectual property rights since her death. They also claimed Burgess did interviews to promote the alleged “unedited” version of her diary for clout. The brothers claim the whole story around the alleged flash drive is false and misleading. If it was real, it would be in their possession, they said, per TMZ.

The conditions of the letter are that Burgess must stop the online sale of the book in five days, cease all interview opportunities and turn over any of Porter’s possessions or face a lawsuit.

On Monday, Sept. 16, the 54-year-old rap mogul was arrested in Manhattan by federal authorities, six months after they raided his two homes in Los Angeles and Miami. His indictment was unsealed the following morning, revealing charges of racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking and engaging in interstate transportation for prostitution. The allegations against Combs include sexual abuse, physical abuse, bribery and various drug offenses.

He has pleaded not guilty, and was denied bail three times. His trial is scheduled for May 2025.
