Sean “Diddy” Combs, formerly known as Puff Daddy and P. Diddy, has been sued once again, this time by a hip-hop promoter who claims the rap mogul’s bodyguards violently and unnecessarily attacked him.

NYC nightclub promoter James Waldon has filed a lawsuit against Sean Combs in a New York County Court, claiming that the rapper directed his bodyguards to attack him, reports TMZ.com.

The celebrity gossip site has obtained the lawsuit and quotes Waldon’s allegations. The man says that on June 1, 2007, he was sitting across from Diddy in a booth at hotspot “The Box.”

Upon attempting to say “Hi” to the rapper, says Waldon, Diddy gestured to his bodyguards to “forcibly remove” him. The promoter claims the bodyguards punched and kicked him, leaving him with “bruises, contusions, lacerations ... and injuries to his mouth and his teeth.”

TMZ reports that Waldon considers the club where the alleged incident occurred responsible for the event, because its managers were aware of “Combs' reputation for, history of, and alleged involvement in violent altercations and confrontations in various premises, lounge and nightclub establishments across the country.”

Waldon is suing Diddy and his entourage for $4 million, and asking the court to award him $500,000 from “The Box,” according to TMZ.

It was merely a few days ago that another man filed a lawsuit against Diddy, claiming to have been wronged by the rap mogul. James Sabatino, a former Bad Boy associate, filed a $19 million lawsuit against Diddy last week, from prison.

Sabatino claims Diddy owes him money for some music the late Notorious B.I.G. recorded in 1994 and Diddy later obtained from him.

It is Sabatino’s claim that he flew the late rapper to Miami in 1994 to perform a show and record some music. There is no signed contract to prove this, but Sabatino maintains the deal was that the 17 minutes of vocals Biggie recorded belonged to him, as he paid for travel expenses and studio time.

After Biggie was killed in 1997, Combs reportedly agreed to buy the recorded music from Sabatino for $200,000, offering him an advance of $25,000. The remaining sum never came, says Sabatino.

According to the AP, Combs explained the delay in payment by saying Sabatino was later named a “person of interest” in the shooting of Biggie.
