Don’t come for us: We have no idea if there is a tape, but earlier this year, Rodney “Lil Rod” Jones filed a lawsuit against Sean “Diddy” Combs alleging numerous allegations including grooming, sexual misconduct and sex-trafficking.

In the court documents, Jones alleged that Combs recorded his sexual acts and listed several celebrities whom he claimed partied with or had relations with the mogul. Though nothing has been verified, internet sleuths put two and two together based on Lil Rod’s clues. We have yet to know if “Lil Rod” has a tape, but here are a few celebrities who could appear on the alleged tapes if there’s any truth to claims by “Lil Rod” and if the internet’s detective work is correct.

Singer Cassie Ventura sued her ex-partner Combs and accused him of rape and physical abuse. In her lawsuit, she stated that Combs would force her to have sex with male escorts while he recorded the encounters. Jones made similar claims in his lawsuit.

In one section of Jones’ lawsuit, he alleged that Diddy showed him a video of producer Stevie J engaging in sex acts with another man. Jones also attached what he believes to be photo evidence to the lawsuit he filed. Stevie J has vehemently denied he was in the photo. A porn star backed Stevie J up and claimed he was actually the person in the photo, not Stevie J.

Jones’ lawsuit stated that Combs had sexual relations with “a Philadelphia rapper who dated Nicki Minaj.” Folks put two and two together to determine the producer was most likely referencing Meek Mill.

Part of Jones’ lawsuit alleged that “Mr. Combs informed Mr. Jones that he had had sexual relations with the rapper, R&B singer and Stevie J.” When referring to the singer, the footnote read: “He performed at the Superbowl and had a successful residency in Las Vegas.” This clue led speculators to believe it was Usher.

In the court document, Jones accused Yung Miami of transporting narcotics for Combs and being one of his sex workers.

In the lawsuit’s additional 25 pages filed in late March, Jones said he was being groomed to be passed off to Cuba Gooding, Jr. He said that Combs allegedly “suggested that Cuba ‘get to know’ Mr. Jones better.” Jones also said he was groped by the actor.

Daphne Joy

Jones accused Daphne Joy, who dated 50 Cent between 2011 and 2012 and is the mother of one of his children, of being someone whom Combs frequently paid for sex.

Bishop T.D. Jakes

Technically, Jakes is not accused of anything in the lawsuit. In the court documents, Jones said that Combs “planned to leverage his relationship with Bishop T.D. Jakes to soften the impact on his public image of Cassie Ventura’s lawsuit.” However, the internet has their own thoughts about the relationship between Jakes and Combs.

Chris Brown

Chris Brown isn’t named specifically in court documents. However, he’s referred to as one of two redacted figures who was allegedly “in Mr. Combs Los Angeles home consorting with underaged girls and sex workers.” Regarding the singer’s identity, the footnote read: “a Grammy Award winning R&B singer who had trouble with law enforcement after assaulting a Bajan Billionaire.”

Rick Ross

Rick Ross was never named in Jones’ lawsuit, but the rapper’s ex Tia Kemp believes he is in Combs’ secretly recorded “freak-off” sessions. Kemp — who has a child with Ross — took to Instagram stating he participated in Combs’ rumored sex parties.

Instagram model and online personality Jade Ramey was named in the suit as someone Combs allegedly paid a monthly stipend to for sex work.
