Lady Gaga wasn’t comfortable sharing the same law firm as Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs, amid the myriad of heinous accusations and lawsuits being leveled against him—so she threatened a boycott. A source close to the situation told NewsNation that if Grubman, Shire, Meiselas & Sacks, the law firm that represented both Combs and Gaga, did not drop Combs as a client, she would drop them. “She’s too big to lose.” the source told NewsNation. Combs has been represented by the firm for nearly 20 years and has made frequent stops at Allen Grubman’s home in the Hamptons over the years, according to NewsNation. His lawyers abandoning him is the latest on a long list of things that Combs has lost following accusations of sexual impropriety and multiple lawsuits that allege similarly heinous crimes.

Combs also had his honorary degree from Howard University rescinded, as well as his donation returned in early June.Read it at NewsNationRead more at The Daily Beast.
