Instagram influencer Jade Ramey has denied claims she was employed as a sex worker by Sean “Diddy” Combs.
The music mogul, 54, is currently at the center of a federal sex trafficking investigation that saw federal agents raid his homes in Los Angeles and Miami last month.
Now, Ramey has taken to social media to set the record straight following the allegations made by Rodney “Lil Rod” Jones in a lawsuit against the rapper filed in February.
“Yes, I dated someone. Dating someone doesn’t directly correlate to any of the false allegations made,” Ramey said in a statement via Instagram.
“How unfortunate we’ve entered a time where caring for someone or falling in love is worthy of scrutiny in the court of public opinion. What may be amusing for you is real life for others, and my feelings have never been for entertainment, nor are they up for discussion.”
“We need to be more conscious as a society when ridiculing people’s lives and relationships merely for enjoyment. I appreciate everyone’s kind messages and support during this time,” she added.
Ramey, who describes herself online as a “certified wellness coach” and an “ordained minister,” boasts 1.2 million followers on the platform.
She and the “I’ll Be Missing You” hitmaker made headlines in December 2022 when they were photographed sharing a kiss during a dinner date at the Malibu hotspot Nobu.
In his $30 million lawsuit against Combs, Jones, 38, claimed that the “Coming Home” rapper paid Ramey a “monthly stipend” for sex work.
The lawsuit also alleges that Diddy “bragged about having several women on a monthly stipend.”
The civil complaint named Ramey, Combs’ former girlfriend Yung Miami, also known as Caresha Rameka Brownlee, and 50 Cent’s ex Daphne Joy as the alleged recipients of the cash-for-sex payouts.
The trio of women “were paid a monthly fee to work as Mr. Combs’ sex workers,” according to the court filings. All three have denied the allegations.
Combs and his team denied all of the producer’s allegations, with his attorney, Shawn Holley, telling Page Six that “Lil Rod is nothing more than a liar” who is after money.
“His reckless name-dropping about events that are pure fiction and simply did not happen is nothing more than a transparent attempt to garner headlines,” Holley claimed.
“We have overwhelming, indisputable proof that his claims are complete lies,” she added.
Following Jones’ lawsuit, Combs has found himself in the crosshairs of Homeland Security’s ongoing sex-trafficking investigation.
Federal agents moved in to seize Combs’ phones and computers in LA and Miami as part of the federal investigation.
Law enforcement officers told The Post that similar raids would happen in New York and Chicago.
Following last month’s raid, the rapper’s attorney Aaron Dyer blasted the “military-level force” federal authorities used to search through the rapper’s properties.
The hip hop mogul is being investigated for sex trafficking according to law enforcement sources, allegations which his attorney has blasted as a “witch hunt.”
