The doc went public Wednesday ... listing nearly 100 entities as part-owners, with Diddy named under 'Sean Combs Capital, LLC' alongside other big names like Bill Ackman, Saudi Prince Al Waleed bin Talal Al Saud and Twitter founder Jack Dorsey.

Exactly how much the now-disgraced music mogul invested in X isn’t clear ... and as of August 2024, it’s not publicly known who still holds shares in the company.

The rapper's lawyer, Bradford Cohen, filed a motion to dismiss Tuesday claiming Scott can't be found guilty of trespassing after a rowdy night with yacht staff in Miami a couple months ago.

Basically, Scott's legal team says signs warning against trespassing weren't visible at the marina itself. He says there were signs on the surrounding private property, but he says those don't count for his presence at the marina.

In the docs, she specifically asks the court to award her 100% physical custody ... with Joey allowed to visit only at her discretion.

Lawrence Taylor's attorney tells TMZ Sports the Hall of Famer's felony case has been dropped -- roughly one month after cops accused the ex-New York Giants star of failing to follow conditions imposed on him as a registered sex offender.

Mark Eiglarsh says the decision came down from Broward County prosecutors on Wednesday ... after he tells us he successfully showed the allegations against Taylor stemmed from nothing more than the former football player's estranged wife making claims in order to "gain leverage in their bitter, three-year divorce battle."

"We are deeply grateful for the prosecutors in this case," Eiglarsh said, "ensuring that true justice was served."

The 2 doctors charged with supplying Matthew Perry with ketamine before his death can no longer write prescriptions ... TMZ has learned.

One of Diddy's accusers might be giving the feds more ammo to indict him -- the woman who's already suing him for allegedly sex-trafficking her at his White Parties has now filed a police report.

Adria English spoke to Miami Beach PD last week, and detailed many of the same allegations -- dating back to early 2000s -- she laid out in her civil lawsuit against Diddy. She had not filed a police report prior to this.

Law enforcement sources confirmed Miami Beach PD detectives took a report from Adria, but we're told they determined there was not enough evidence to investigate human trafficking, or any other crime.
