Suing Diddy sees collab between One Minute Remaining and Casefile True Crime creators

This isn’t the podcast you think it is.

One Minute Remaining presenter Jack Laurence encountered the unsettling and at times unbelievable story of Derrick Lee Cardello Smith, a Michigan inmate who sued Sean ‘P. Diddy’ Combs for $100 million, and won, and wasn’t sure what to do with it.

Jack said:

“I’d been holding onto this case for a while and I knew it deserved more attention than I could give it on my own. Then I met ‘Casey’, the creator and host of Casefile True Crime, and that was my lightbulb moment.

From the time I started making true crime podcasts, I’ve wanted to create something with the Casefile team. Their success, both in Australia and around the world, is something I’ve always admired. So I pitched ‘Casey’ the idea that would eventually become Suing Diddy.”

This is the first time Casefile True Crime and One Minute Remaining have joined forces for this Casefile Presents series. Available now Suing Diddy is a seven-part investigative series that sees journalist Jack Laurence follow what looks like a legal revenge case and quickly turns into something much darker. Derrick’s claims of abuse, corruption, and murder-for-hire are backed by legal documents, affidavits, witness statements, police reports, and news articles.

But the more Jack learns, the more uncertain he becomes. Is it a miscarriage of justice or is he being taken in by one of the most elaborate scams the U.S. legal system has ever seen?

Jack added:

“Working with ‘Casey’, Mike, and the rest of the team has been a true career highlight. It’s been an incredible experience, and now I can’t wait for everyone to finally hear the story.”

The anonymous host and creator of Casefile said:

“Collaborating on a new series with high quality partners like Jack, creator of One Minute Remaining, is always rewarding, and this process has been no different. I’m very proud of the work Jack and the Casefile team have done on the Suing Diddy series, and I look forward to it being heard around the world. It truly is an extraordinary story with remarkable twists and turns.”

Since its launch in 2016, Casefile has grown into a multi award-winning global phenomenon, amassing more than 800 million listens worldwide. The podcast expanded into its own network with the addition of Casefile Presents in 2019, a platform to grow audiences for existing podcasts alongside launching new projects and voices.
