Puff Daddy Hit With Lawsuit

Puff Daddy

Sean "Puffy" Combs got more bad news late last week when a bouncer injured in a nightclub shooting filed an $800 million lawsuit against him.

According to MTV News, Julius Jones (a bouncer at Club New York) filed the ambitious suit against Puffy, his bodyguard, his chauffeur, Club New York, its owner Michael Bergos and Bad Boy Records. Jones was reportedly shot in the shoulder at Club New York last Monday, during a now infamous incident that sent Puffy and girlfriend Jennifer Lopez to jail for a night.

Jones has set his sights on Puffy even though police have not charged the rapper/CEO with the shooting. Combs was eventually charged with criminal possession of a weapon, though he was never charged in connection with the shooting. Puffy has repeatedly denied the weapons charge.

Lopez testified before a grand jury investigating the incident on Thursday, while Puffy is expected to testify this week.
