A hearing for a default judgment was set for Monday, but the rapper opted not to show up.

The payment plan will begin starting October 1.

A statement obtained by The U.S. Sun from Marc Agnifilo, Diddy's attorney, claimed the rapper has never interacted with Derrick.

“This man is a convicted felon and sexual predator, who has been sentenced on 14 counts of sexual assault and kidnapping over the last 26 years," the attorney stated.

"His resume now includes committing a fraud on the court from prison, as Mr. Combs has never heard of him let alone been served with any lawsuit.

"Mr. Combs looks forward to having this judgment swiftly dismissed.”

The latest comes after the Last Night rapper was accused of grooming and sex trafficking by former porn star Adria English just two months ago.

Adria claimed the music mogul threatened to blacklist her if she didn't have sex with guests at his lavish parties.

She claimed her interactions with Diddy became sexual immediately after they met in 2004, according to the lawsuit obtained by The U.S. Sun.

Adria, who performed under the name Omunique, said she met the rapper during her modeling audition for his fashion company, Sean John.

Adria claimed she worked at some of Diddy's parties, where she was forced to drink alcoholic beverages laced with narcotics such as ecstasy.

She also claimed she was told to flirt with guests and believed she was "groomed" into sex trafficking.

The former porn star said the rapper allegedly forced her to have sex with jewelry designer Jacob Arabov, known as Jacob the Jeweler.

The lawsuit, filed by attorneys Ariel Mitchell-Kidd and Steven Metcalf, claimed Adria was paid an extra $1,000 in addition to what she was normally paid for working the rapper's parties.

'HE WILL PREVAIL'

After the lawsuit was filed, The U.S. Sun obtained a statement from Combs' attorney, Jonathan Davis, refuting the claims made.

"No matter how many lawsuits are filed it won't change the fact that Mr. Combs has never sexually assaulted or sex trafficked anyone," he told The U.S. Sun.

"We live in a world where anyone can file a lawsuit for any reason and without any proof.

"Fortunately, a fair and impartial judicial process exists to find the truth and Mr. Combs is confident he will prevail against these and other baseless claims in court."

READY TO RAID

Despite facing multiple lawsuits recently, Diddy made headlines in March when two of his properties were blitzed.

Diddy's Los Angeles and Miami mansions were raided after he faced sex trafficking allegations from his former partner Casandra Ventura, known as Cassie.

In her lawsuit, the singer accused her ex of placing her in “a cycle of abuse, violence, and sex trafficking."

She also claimed Diddy forced her to "live a lifestyle of excessive alcohol and substance abuse."

Veteran New York detective Derrick Parker recently told The U.S. Sun that the rapper's recent lawsuits have reached the "most serious level."

He also explained why Diddy's home invasions were so intense.

"The reason it was Homeland Security who carried out the raids was that the allegations against Diddy included sex trafficking across the US, across state lines, and overseas," he explained.

"That elevates the crimes to the most serious level. There was also a fear that guns were in the properties.

"We're not just talking a Glock or two. I mean serious firearms, assault rifles, and so on. Also drugs," Derrick continued.

“Law enforcement had to be prepared for anything to happen, so they went in fast and hard to be as efficient and safe as possible.

“It’s a heavy-handed approach, which I haven’t seen the likes of before.”
