The $33 million RICO lawsuit filed against Diddy's mother, Janice Smalls Combs, has been dismissed.

A court document obtained by TMZ reveals the federal complaint by plaintiff Deon Best -- a former associate of the music mogul -- against Janice and her music publishing companies was dismissed without prejudice.

Best, known as "D1", originally sued Janice in January 2025, alleging she was involved in a scheme to defraud him of his intellectual property rights, royalties, and publishing revenues. He accused her of knowingly using her influence and name to take away his publishing rights and royalties, which he said caused significant financial and emotional harm to him.

Diddy's lawyer, Erica Wolff, just responded, telling TMZ, “Mr. Nash is another opportunist looking to profit off his proximity to celebrity. This complaint is riddled with falsehoods and stands in stark contrast to the record that has already been established in court."

Wolff went on ... "Mr. Combs has dedicated his life and career to uplifting artists, creating opportunities, and building one of the most influential cultural enterprises in the world. Mr. Nash’s tabloid-style accusations are insulting not only to Mr. Combs, but also to the countless individuals who worked honorably and professionally within his companies."

She adds, "In court, the truth will prevail, as it did in his criminal trial:  that Mr. Combs has never sexually assaulted anyone—adult or minor, man or woman. Mr. Combs looks forward to clearing his name again in a court of law where truth matters.”

Diddy is facing a stunning lawsuit ahead of his sentencing ... the mogul's long-time stylist Deonte Nash is suing him for sexual battery, human trafficking and more.

According to new court docs -- obtained by TMZ -- lawyers for Deonte claim Diddy turned his dream of becoming a celebrity stylist into a "nightmare" ... one he was "forced to endure nearly every single day" during the roughly 10 years he worked for Diddy.

The docs go on to say ... "The horrors Mr. Nash experienced continue to plague him even after his employment ended."
