A shocking lawsuit has hit the music world, with claims of violence, betrayal, and a high-stakes battle for one of hip-hop’s most iconic labels. Kirk Burrowes, co-founder of Bad Boy Entertainment, is suing Sean “Diddy” Combs’ mother, Janice Smalls, accusing her of seizing control of the label after an alleged violent confrontation with Diddy in 1996.
Burrowes, once a key figure in Bad Boy’s rise, says he was forced to give up his 25% stake in the company — and now, he’s fighting to reclaim his share. According to the lawsuit, Smalls has been part of a “decades-long scheme” involving intimidation and financial deception.
Struggling with homelessness and financial hardship, Burrowes is demanding not only his stake back but also a full financial audit of Bad Boy’s profits since the beginning.
As this explosive legal battle unfolds, it’s clear the drama behind the scenes of the legendary label is far from over.
