It was the Lady or the pariah.
Powerhouse Manhattan law firm Grubman, Shire, Meiselas & Sacks, which reps most heavy hitters in the music industry, has kicked renegade rapper Sean “Diddy” Combs to the curb, Paula Froelich reports in NewsNation.
GSM&S 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.
No “Poker Face” here!
Not wanting to risk a “Bad Romance,” it was Done Diddy.
Combs was the law firm’s client for more than 20 years.
He was buds with legendary lawyer Allen Grubman, even known to stop by his Hampton digs before the mogul’s fall from grace, the Froelich 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 practicing 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 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.
