According to legal documents obtained by TMZ, Derrick sued the rapper for $100 million, but Diddy did not file an answer to the complaint.

A hearing for a default judgment was set for Monday, but the rapper opted not to show up.

Due to his absence, the judge gave Derrick the $100 million he requested, which was set up with monthly $10 million installments.

The payment plan will begin starting October 1.

DERRICK'S CLAIMS

Derrick claimed the alleged incident occurred 27 years ago at a party in Detroit, Michigan.

According to the lawsuit, the two were smoking weed and drinking alcohol when they decided to get naked with a group of women.

Derrick said he was performing oral sex on one of the women when he felt a male hand on his backside, claiming it was Diddy's.

He claimed Diddy then offered him a drink that he spiked, leading him to pass out.

Derrick said that he woke up, Diddy was allegedly having sex with a woman when he turned to him and said, "I did this to you too."

NEW DAY, NEW LAWSUIT

Diddy has been faced with multiple lawsuits over the past year.

The latest comes after the Last Night rapper was accused of grooming and sex trafficking by former porn star Adria English just two months ago.

Adria claimed the music mogul threatened to blacklist her if she didn't have sex with guests at his lavish parties.

She claimed her interactions with Diddy became sexual immediately after they met in 2004, according to the lawsuit obtained by The U.S. Sun.

Adria, who performed under the name Omunique, met the rapper during her modeling audition for his fashion company, Sean John.

Adria claimed she worked at some of Diddy's parties, where she was forced to drink alcoholic beverages laced with narcotics such as ecstasy.

She claimed she was also told to flirt with guests and believed she was "groomed" into sex trafficking.

The former porn star claimed the rapper forced her to have sex with jewelry designer Jacob Arabov, known as Jacob the Jeweler.

The lawsuit, filed by attorneys Ariel Mitchell-Kidd and Steven Metcalf, stated that Adria had "forced sexual intercourse" with Jacob.

It also claimed she was paid an extra $1,000 in addition to what she was normally paid for working the rapper's parties.
