In response, Diddy issued an official statement to the outlet, stating that he was the one who had changed attorneys. He shared, “I made the decision to change attorneys because I will not allow anyone to take advantage of me by overcharging me and racking up bills that were never approved. This is strictly a business matter, and any discussion of unpaid fees is only part of our dispute over those unapproved charges.”In response to Combs, the attorney issued another statement to the outlet. He shared that they had filed the motion and “were withdrawing from representing him because he had not paid his long-overdue bills and had not cooperated.” “Any suggestion that we overcharge you is simply false.”
