Bad Boy Records was reportedly dropped “due to replication of its status because of Combs’ corporate structure of overlapping companies and divisions,” according to Deadline. Combs and Jay-Z are still defendants in the case, as are CE OPCO LLC a.k.a. Combs Global, Bad Boy Entertainment Holdings, Inc and “several Bad Boy named entities.”

Sean "Diddy" Combs is still facing life behind bars if found guilty in his sex trafficking trial later this year, but today the Bad Boy Records founder and Jay-Z saw one less defendant in the accusations that the duo and an unnamed female celebrity repeatedly raped a 13-year-old girl in 2000.
