CJ Wallace, the son of the late rapper Biggie Smalls, has filed a defamation lawsuit against publicist Jonathan Hay following serious allegations made against him and music mogul Diddy. The controversy began when Hay anonymously sued Wallace and Diddy, claiming that they lured him to a location where Diddy allegedly attempted to force oral sex upon him.
Hay later revealed his identity and expanded his accusations to suggest that CJ Wallace had a romantic involvement with Diddy and participated in so-called “freak-off” parties. In response, CJ Wallace’s legal team has stated that these accusations stemmed from a failure to release a posthumous remix project featuring songs produced by Hay.
According to newly filed legal documents in Florida, CJ claims that the allegations arose after the Notorious B.I.G. Estate decided against moving forward with additional songs produced by Hay, citing low audience interest in a single titled “Ready to Dance” released in 2020, along with Hay’s erratic behavior and creative differences.
Wallace’s lawsuit also alleges that Hay threatened to release unreleased music without permission and that he did not mention any allegations at the time of their collaboration. CJ argues that Hay has engaged in a “calculated smear campaign” through interviews in 2024 and 2025, which he claims have intentionally damaged his personal and professional reputation. The lawsuit states that Hay acted with “actual malice,” knowing the statements were false or with reckless disregard for their truth.
As the legal situation unfolds, it coincides with ongoing drama surrounding Diddy, who has recently faced delays in his prison release due to violations while incarcerated. The evolving legal battles and public scrutiny highlight the complexities of fame and the repercussions of personal relationships within the music industry.
