DIDDY SUES DIAGEO FOR RACIST NEGLECT OF JOINT TEQUILA BRAND DELEON: Yesterday (May 31st), Diddy filed suit against Diageo his partner for his Tequila brand DeLeon. According to The Guardian, lawyers for Combs say that Diageo and its executives have “put their feet on the neck of Mr Combs’ brands”, choking off production, distribution and sales of Combs Wines and Spirits brands, including Ciroc vodka and the high-end tequila brand DeLeon. Combs’s lawyers are seeking a court order “to provide the equal treatment” they say Diageo “contractually promised”. The filing states that Combs Wines and Spirits plans to seek “billions of dollars in damages due to Diageo’s neglect and breaches” in a separate lawsuit. In a statement, a Diageo spokesperson said, “This is a business dispute, and we are saddened that Mr Combs has chosen to recast this matter as anything other than that. Our steadfast commitment to diversity within our company and the communities we serve is something we take very seriously. We categorically deny the allegations that have been made and will vigorously defend ourselves in the appropriate forum.”
