As Diddy’s shocking home raids, numerous lawsuits and legal issues continue to play out in the court of public opinion, there’s one surprising name that’s now been thrown into the chaos: Prince Harry.

The Duke of Sussex was reportedly named in court documents associated with the most recent lawsuit lobbed against Diddy by one of his former producers Rodney “Lil Rod” Jones. While Rodney did not accuse Harry of any wrongdoing specifically, he was mentioned as an example of the level of celebrity Diddy—and subsequently those who were “participating in and facilitating Combs’ sex trafficking venture”—would have access to in return for their cooperation.

“Mr Combs was known for throwing the ‘best’ parties. Affiliation with, and or sponsorship of Mr Combs’ sex-trafficking parties garnered legitimacy and access to celebrities such as famous athletes, political figures, artists, musicians and international dignitaries like British royal, Prince Harry,” statedRodney in documents obtained by The Daily Beast.

As previously reported by The Root, Jones is accusing Diddy of sexual harassment, threatening and drugging him and “engaging in serious illegal activity.”

While the extent of Prince Harry and Diddy’s relationship is unknown, it’s well known that both he and his brother Prince William met the Bad Boy producer and the rapper formerly known as Kanye West back in 2007. The four of them were pictured together at an after-concert party they hosted following their “Concert for Diana” at Wembley Stadium, to celebrate the life of their mother, Princess Diana.

Aside from that, just the mere mention of Prince Harry’s name in association with someone like Diddy amid all the current royal family drama and Harry and Meghan’s own litany of arguable issues isn’t a good look. Then, when you consider Spotify dropping Meghan Markle’s podcast “Archetypes” and their overall deal in general getting axed (to be fair, “Archetypes” did find a new home in Lemonade Media where she’s set to launch an additional new show); Prince Harry’s book “Spare” becoming a best-seller and causing a deeper divide both socially and with members of his own family; the couple’s un-lucrative $100 million deal with Netflix that allegedly hasn’t seen that big of a return on investment—it may be time for Harry and Meghan to consider if it’s time to go back to London and revamp their plans three, five and 10-year business and life plan.

The name drop of Harry in association with Diddy comes less than 24 hours after Combs’ homes in Los Angeles and Miami were both raided by Homeland Security agents. Though the specifics of the raids remain unclear, they are both allegedly connected to a federal sex trafficking investigation.

In a statement released by the Department of Homeland Security, it explained: “Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) New York executed law enforcement actions as part of an ongoing investigation, with assistance from HSI Los Angeles, HSI Miami, and our local law enforcement partners. We will provide further information as it becomes available.’’
