Jennifer Lopez’s ex-husband Ojani Noa has partly blamed Sean “Diddy” Combs for the pair’s divorce.
During an appearance on “Despierta America,” Noa lifted the lid on the demise of the pair’s short-lived marriage, which lasted from from 1997 to 1998.
When asked about the pair’s breakup, Noa declared, “Part of that divorce was Diddy’s fault.”
“When Sony came and paid her the millions she got, there was Puffy [Combs], who was going to be one of the producers of several tracks on the first album ‘On The 6,'” he told the outlet in Spanish. “That’s where the cheating, the lies, the separation started.”
He continued, “I was in Los Angeles opening my restaurant and she was between Miami and New York working on the album.”
“When I could, I would go to be with her. There, in that distance, in that separation, was where the cheating started,” Noa added about his divorce from the “On The Floor” hitmaker.
Elsewhere in the interview, Noa alleged that the demise of the pair’s ill-fated marriage marred his career, and sabotaged his chance at several jobs.
“I would ask Jennifer, ‘What did I do to you so that you have taken me to court, you have accused me, you have lied, you have created false things about me and you have called several companies to throw me out and different television networks not to give me work?'”
“Why, if I have not done anything to you? Let her tell the truth, let her tell everything that happened,” he added.
Page Six has reached out to Lopez and Combs’ reps for comment.
Lopez had dated Combs from 1999 to 2001. Several photos during the pair’s romance have resurfaced in light of Combs’ legal woes.
Earlier this year, the Bad Boy Records producer was sued by several women for sexual assault — including his ex-girlfriend Casandra “Cassie” Ventura.
Combs was later arrested on Sept. 16 and charged with three counts: racketeering conspiracy; sex trafficking by force, fraud or coercion; and transportation to engage in prostitution.
He pleaded not guilty to the charges and remains in jail while awaiting trial after being denied bail.
Combs’ fall from grace came in November 2023 when Cassie sued him for raping and abusing her throughout their 10-year relationship. Diddy denied the accusations and they settled the suit the next day.
However, Combs was caught in the lie in May 2024 when a video surfaced of the rapper brutally assaulting her in a hotel in 2016, forcing him to issue a public apology.
Since then, others have come forward with assault allegations against the Grammy-winning father of seven.
Lopez has yet to address her ex’s allegations. She is currently going through divorce proceedings with Ben Affleck.

Despite her silence, fans dredged up a “Wendy Williams Show” interview which spoke volumes as Lopez’s mom, Guadalupe “Lupe” Rodríguez, vehemently opposed her daughter getting back together with Combs.
In December 1999, Lopez was with the rapper-turned-mogul when shots were fired inside a nightclub in New York City.
The pair fled the scene, and a police chase ensued. Eventually, they were both arrested.
Lopez was released from custody without being charged after spending 14 hours “bawling” in a holding cell.
