Justin Combs, son of rap mogul Diddy, is currently facing a lawsuit for over $190,000 related to unpaid car payments. The legal battle, however, is reportedly nearing a resolution, according to Combs’ legal team. Despite this, the case has garnered attention due to its timing, coinciding with Diddy’s ongoing legal troubles.
According to a report by The Blast, Porsche Leasing Ltd took legal action against Justin Combs in June 2023, alleging that he violated the terms of a car leasing agreement. The dispute involves a Bentley Bentayga V8, which was leased by Combs and his JDC Holdings Group in January 2022. As per the agreement, Justin was required to make 42 monthly payments of $3,365.23. However, the young Combs allegedly failed to make the scheduled payment due on December 20, 2023.
Under the terms of the lease, Porsche Leasing Ltd was entitled to demand the entire balance if a payment default occurred. As a result, they have sought to recover the total amount of $172,601.43, in addition to interest and penalties. The lawsuit claims that the unpaid amount has accrued at a legal interest rate of 10% per year, further increasing the total owed to over $190,000.

Miscommunication Leads to Legal Dispute
Despite the lawsuit, Justin Combs’ legal team insists that the missed payments were due to a misunderstanding. His lawyer, Jeffrey Lichtman, explained that the missed payment resulted from an address change, which caused Justin to not receive his bill on time.
In a statement to In Touch, Lichtman asserted that the issue was being resolved, saying, “We are in touch with the creditor, and the matter is being settled. The outstanding balance will be paid, and the lawsuit will be dropped.” Despite these assurances, Porsche Leasing Ltd pressed ahead with their legal action, and earlier this week, they petitioned the court for a default judgment against Combs, seeking a total of $190,226.25, which includes unpaid installments and interest.
Justin Combs’ Previous Legal Issues
This isn’t the first time Justin Combs has faced legal challenges. In 2023, he avoided jail time through a plea deal related to a DUI arrest. After pleading no contest to having a blood alcohol content above the legal limit, Justin received a sentence of three years of probation and was ordered to complete an alcohol education program.
His legal troubles follow a turbulent period for his family, as his father, Diddy, faces his own legal battles. The rapper and music executive was arrested in September 2023 and indicted on charges including racketeering, sex trafficking, and transportation for prostitution. Diddy’s indictment has created a media storm, with speculation that additional charges could be filed based on ongoing investigations.

Family in the Spotlight
While Justin Combs navigates his legal issues, his brother, Christian “King” Combs, has also drawn criticism. Recently, The Blast reported that King Combs was seen partying with friends and girlfriend Raven Tracy, sparking backlash on social media. Some fans criticized him for celebrating while his father deals with serious legal allegations. One user commented on Instagram, “It doesn’t look that good for his daddy to be in jail, and he’s out feeding women drinks on live video.”
As Diddy’s legal problems continue, his son Justin Combs is working to resolve his own financial dispute. With over $190,000 in unpaid car payments and interest on the line, Justin’s legal team is confident that the matter will soon be settled. However, the ongoing scrutiny of the Combs family remains high as they face multiple legal challenges.
