Rapper and mogul Sean Combs better known as Diddy was sued on Monday by a music producer who accused him of sexually assaulting him and forcing him to have sex with prostitutes. 

The suit filed in federal court in New York accuses Combs of repeated instances of unsolicited groping and sexual touching.  

In the lawsuit, the producer claims Combs made him solicit prostitutes and pressured him to have sex with them.

It also described a time when the producer woke up in bed with two sex workers suspecting he had been drugged. 

However, Combs's lawyer called the events described in the lawsuit "pure fiction."

"We have overwhelming, indisputable proof that his claims are complete lies. We will address these outlandish allegations in court and take all appropriate action against those who make them," said Combs attorney Shawn Holley. 

The legal claim is one of several sexual assault lawsuits filed against Combs in recent months, including a lawsuit from the R&B singer Cassie that was settled last year. 

Another of Combs's accusers was a woman who alleged the rap producer raped her two decades ago when she was 17.

She also accused Harve Pierre, president of Combs's label Bad Boy Records, and an unidentified man. 

Combs had denied the allegations saying "Let me absolutely clear: I did not do any of the awful things being alleged. I will fight for my name, my family, and for the truth."
