Diddy has caught a legal break after his former nanny has dropped her wrongful termination lawsuit.
Raven Wales-Walden sued the Bad Boy boss in 2022, claiming he fired her for getting pregnant outside of marriage two years earlier and setting a “bad example” to his daughters.

According to MyNewsLA, she has now dismissed her complaint with prejudice, meaning that she cannot refile the suit in the future.
It is not known if a private settlement was reached between Wales-Walden and Diddy.

Te Hip Hop mogul had previously sought to dismiss the lawsuit and accused Wales-Walden of not being good enough at her job.
He said she failed to “satisfactorily perform her job responsibilities, and otherwise conduct herself in accordance with the standards and policies of Combs Defendants.”

He added that his actions weren’t discriminatory and he had reason to believe Raven was “not performing all of her job duties as required, that there were some days that [Raven] received compensation for work that was not performed, thus resulting in wages being paid to [Raven] that were not owed.”
Diddy also labelled the suit a “meritless shakedown.”

Wales-Walden had claimed that she had become a full-time nanny to his twin daughters after their mother Kim Porter died in 2018.
Neither party have commented on the dismissal of the lawsuit.
The lawsuit is unrelated to the many other legal filings made against Diddy over the last few months relating to rape, sexual assault and sex trafficking.
The 54-year-old record executive has also vehemently denied those allegations.

Following the raids on his properties last month by Homeland Security, he released a statement through his attorneys.
“Yesterday, there was a gross overuse of military-level force as search warrants were executed at Mr. Combs’ residences,” the statement read. “There is no excuse for the excessive show of force and hostility exhibited by authorities or the way his children and employees were treated.

“Mr. Combs was never detained but spoke to and cooperated with authorities. Despite media speculation, neither Mr. Combs nor any of his family members have been arrested nor has their ability to travel been restricted in any way.
“This unprecedented ambush – paired with an advanced, coordinated media presence – leads to a premature rush to judgment of Mr. Combs and is nothing more than a witch hunt based on meritless accusations made in civil lawsuits.

“There has been no finding of criminal or civil liability with any of these allegations. Mr. Combs is innocent and will continue to fight every single day to clear his name.”
