A federal court has cleared Janice Smalls Combs of all charges in a multimillion-dollar legal battle. The hip-hop mogul Sean Combs' mother faced accusations from plaintiff Deon Best, who performs under the name D1. Best alleged that Combs participated in schemes to steal his music publishing rights worth 33 million dollars. The disputed royalties connected to the 1998 song Come With Me from the Godzilla movie soundtrack. Best claimed Combs forged legal papers and concealed important records to prevent his payment.

The September 19th ruling favored Combs completely. Best discovered the alleged theft only in 2023, which exceeded the four-year legal deadline for filing such cases. The judge found Best's accusations lacked sufficient detail and supporting evidence. Best had previously filed similar charges against Sean Combs himself but withdrew those claims after the court rejected them. The ruling allows Combs to seek payment for her legal expenses from Best.
