A complaint filed against Sean “Diddy” Combs earlier this year claimed that his employees were required to carry pink cocaine — the same substance found in One Direction band member Liam Payne’s system at the time of his death.
According to court documents obtained by Us Weekly, pink cocaine — also referred to as Tuci — was mentioned in Rodney “Lil Rod” Jones’ lawsuit against Diddy. (Jones initially accused Diddy, 54, of sexually harassing, drugging and threatening him in February.)
Jones claimed that Diddy’s workers were ordered to “walk around with a black Prada pouch or fanny pack filled with cocaine, GHB, ecstasy, marijuana gummies (100 – 250 mg each), and Tuci (a pink drug that is a combination of ecstasy and cocaine).” The docs claimed that Diddy wanted his “drug of choice immediately ready when he asked for it.”
The drugs were also allegedly available for guests who attended Diddy’s infamous parties at his various homes and rented yacht.

Jones claimed that he lived and traveled with Diddy from September 2022 to November 2023. The music producer alleged that he witnessed and recorded Diddy, his staff and others “engaging in serious illegal activity.”
Diddy vehemently denied Jones’ allegations in a statement shared via his attorney Shawn Holley.
“Lil Rod is nothing more than a liar who filed a $30 million lawsuit, shamelessly looking for an undeserved payday,” Holley said in a statement to Us. “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.”
The message continued: “We have overwhelming, indisputable proof that his claims are complete lies. We will address these outlandish allegations in court and take all appropriate action against those who make them.”
Pink cocaine has become a hot topic lately as the substance was reportedly found in Payne’s system at the time of his death, per a preliminary autopsy. (Us confirmed that Payne died on October 16 at age 31 after sustaining a fall from a hotel balcony in Buenos Aires, Argentina.)
Addiction Specialist Explains ‘Pink Cocaine’ After Liam Payne’s Death
Pink cocaine is a recreational drug that typically mixes methamphetamine, ketamine and MDMA. According to addiction specialist Richard Taite, the substance is comparable to MDMA or ecstasy or Molly “but with psychedelic effects.”
“Pink cocaine has nothing to do with cocaine. It’s a synthetic psychedelic drug,” Taite exclusively told Us, noting it is usually in powder form and has “hallucinogenic effects.”
Taite added that pink cocaine has a lethal reputation compared to other drugs.
“They’re not like heroin and cocaine in the past,” he said. “This is like garbage, all of it. [It’s] all dangerous today.”
