Diddy’s oldest son, Justin Dior Combs, is working to handle a lawsuit over missed payments on a Bentley while his father remains locked up in a New York prison, according to The Blast.
The lawsuit arose months before Diddy’s arrest and indictment in September. Porsche Leasing LTD filed against Justin for breaching the terms of their contract back in June. In court documents, the company said Justin was personally served on June 11 at Diddy’s $61 million Beverly Hills mansion.
Earlier this week, Porsche Leasing LTD asked the court to grant a default judgment against Justin in the amount of $190,226.25. Justin’s legal reps argued that the suit was a big misunderstanding.
Porsche Leasing LTD claimed Justin owes $172,000 in missed payments on a 2022 Bentley Bentayga V8. The company asked for an additional $13,000 in interest fees.
According to In Touch, in the lawsuit, Porsche Leasing LTD claimed Justin and his JDC Holdings Group entered into a lease for the new Bentley Bentayga in January 2022. At the time, Justin agreed to make 42 payments in the amount of $3,365.23.
The lawsuit claimed Justin defaulted on the deal when he failed to make the payment due on December 20, 2023.
Per the lease, Porsche Leasing was allowed to demand the entire amount owed if a default occurred.
“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 said.
Porsche Leasing said it had the right to take possession of the car.
A lawyer representing Porsche Leasing LTD has since come out to state that the lawsuit “is in the process of being resolved.”
Before his car woes, Diddy’s son’s avoided jail time in 2023 thanks to a plea deal surrounding a DUI case. At the time the 29-year-old, was arrested in Los Angeles for driving under the influence.
