A currently-incarcerated man in Michigan has reportedly been rewarded a $100 million default judgment against disgraced entertainment mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs, the latest in a series of multiple lawsuits and investigations detailing years of alleged sexual assault and abuse.

As reported by Detroit Metro Times, the award was issued on Monday (Sept. 9) to Derrick Lee Cardello-Smith, 51, by Lenawee County Circuit Court Judge Anna Marie Anzalone. The judgment was handed down after a temporary restraining order was granted to Cardello-Smith against Combs in August.

According to court records, Combs drugged and sexually assaulted Cardello-Smith at a party in Detroit in 1997. Cardello-Smith, who is currently serving an unrelated prison sentence in Muskegon Heights, told Metro Times that his history with the Bad Boy Records founder goes “way back.”

Cardello-Smith, a self-taught student of civil and criminal statutes, produced prison information showing Combs’ name in the visitation record. He says that the mogul offered him $2.3 million to dismiss the lawsuit, which he declined.

Anzalone’s order on August 7 prevents Combs from selling assets that could potentially be used to compensate Cardello-Smith for possible damages.

In the August hearing, Cardello-Smith revealed a conversation he had with Combs to address the lawsuit directly. Combs allegedly told him, “You know how we get down,” in response to the lawsuit.

Cardello-Smith told the judge he said, “I disagree with how you get down.”

More from the Metro Times: 

The virtual hearing and excerpts of it, in which Anzelone reads the complaint identifying Combs “also known as ‘Sean P. Diddy, also known as Diddy’” and “Diddy Run the City,” among other nicknames, has generated hundreds of thousands of social media views. Some in the comments sections of the videos express doubt about Cardello-Smith’s claim. A social media user known as @jenniferwyllie4033 notes the widely circulated hotel hallway footage in which Combs is shown kicking and dragging his then-girlfriend, singer Cassie Ventura.

“Just remember… they made Cassie look crazy until she produced receipts,” @jenniferwyllie4033 posts.

Combs did not appear for the virtual hearing on September 9, which prompted the default judgment.

It is believed that Cardello-Smith’s judgment could be the largest awarded to a non-attorney and a currently-incarcerated inmate in history.
