‘She’s too big to lose’: Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs dropped by powerful NYC law firm after Lady Gaga’s ultimatum: report | HO
Lady Gaga is reportedly refusing to work with anyone who reps Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs after he was caught on video bashing his then-girlfriend.
A powerhouse Manhattan law firm which represents most heavy hitters in the music industry, has kicked renegade rapper Sean “Diddy” Combs to the kerb, according to NewsNation.
Grubman, Shire, Meiselas & Sacks recently dumped Diddy because a bigger name client — Lady Gaga — gave the legal eagles an ultimatum.
“Lady Gaga said she was leaving [the firm] if they didn’t drop Diddy. And she’s too big to lose,” the insider said.
Not wanting to risk a “Bad Romance,” it was Done Diddy.
Combs was the law firm’s client for more than 20 years, The NY Post reports.

He was friends with legendary lawyer Allen Grubman, even known to stop by his Hampton digs before the mogul’s fall from grace, the report said.
The firm’s biggest fear was that a Gaga goodbye would trigger a race to the exits by other bold-faced artists, the dispatch said.
Grubman, a founder of The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, became the first practising lawyer to be inducted there in November 2022.
Past and present GSM & S clients include Elton John, Barbra Streisand, Lil Nas X, The Weeknd, Madonna, U2 and Drake.
Combs has been persona non grata ever since reports surfaced of alleged twisted conduct.
Mayor Eric Adams revoked Combs’ key to NYC, less than three weeks after a shocking video leaked of the rap mogul beating his ex, The Post previously reported.
The key was returned after Adams fired off a June 4 letter to Combs, according to Fabien Levy, deputy mayor for communications.
Combs also scrubbed his Instagram last week, NewsNation reported.

Despite being represented by the powerhouse Manhattan law firm Grubman, Shire, Meiselas & Sacks for over 20 years, Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs was recently dropped by the firm after a powerful ultimatum from none other than Lady Gaga. The pop star reportedly made it clear that she would not continue working with the firm if they continued to represent Combs, citing his controversial behavior.
Combs, known for his successful career in the music industry, faced backlash after a video surfaced of him physically assaulting his then-girlfriend. Despite denying the allegations for years, he eventually apologized for his actions. This incident led to Mayor Eric Adams revoking Combs’ key to NYC.
With clients like Elton John, Barbra Streisand, and Madonna, the firm could not afford to lose Lady Gaga over their association with Combs. The fear of a ‘race to the exits’ by other high-profile artists prompted the firm to cut ties with the rapper.
It’s clear that Lady Gaga’s influence and reputation in the industry played a significant role in this decision. She was deemed ‘too big to lose’ by the firm, ultimately leading to Combs being dropped.
As Combs faces the consequences of his actions, it’s evident that even the most established figures in the music industry are not immune to the repercussions of their behavior.
