Random House to sue P Diddy
US rapper Sean 'P Diddy' Combs is being sued by Random House who are attempting to retrieve a large advance payment for his autobiography, which they say was never written.
In a lawsuit filed this week against Combs and Bad Boy Books Incorporated at Manhattan's Supreme Court, the advance is said to have been in the region of $300,000.
A spokesperson for Random House said: "Random House has seldom resorted to a legal course of action with its prospective authors who don't write the books we have contracted for, but Mr. Sean Combs has left us no choice."
"We now have waited for over five years and have received neither the manuscript nor the return of the money we advanced Mr. Combs, the latter of which we have been seeking since 2001. We hope the court will help Mr. Combs do what is right", said Tom Perry of Random House.
