Deon "D1" Best, who claims to be a former friend and business associate of Diddy , alleges that the Bad Boy mogul launched a criminal enterprise by using his mother's name, Janice Combs. Appearing on The Daily Mail's podcast, The Trial of Diddy , D1 revealed that he intends to sue Janice for allegedly taking artists' publishing rights . He alleged that he helped Diddy sign a number of artists in the 1990s through his company, Finish Line Entertainment, but the publishing rights and future earnings went to Janice.
"All of my publishing rights went to Janice Combs," Best told the outlet. "I'm here to talk about a different section of his allegations..

And I think that Janice Combs falls under those guidelines."
