Based on the latest update, Diageo appears to be attempting to counter the lawsuit.

The Seattle Times reports that “Diageo said that Combs has acquired nearly $1 billion dollars throughout their 15-year relationship. The company also argues that Combs did not act as an equal partner by, for example, not providing adequate funding to help DeLeón grow — stating that, outside a $1,000 contribution from Combs, Diageo ‘provided 100% of the funding’ for the joint venture, which amounted to a total investment of more than $100 million.”
