Rogelio "Roger" Nores, who spent significant time with Payne in the final months of his life, described his October fall from a Buenos Aires hotel balcony as a case of bad luck.

"He's doing fine (Sean "Diddy" Combs). You know, Dr King called it the law of unintended consequences. So sometimes the more you push a person down, the stronger they get and so he's making an adjustment. He had his family here today to support him.

Cassie's lawsuit opened a plethora of legal actions against the 54-year-old rapper by more than 100 people including singer Dawn Richard.
