Overview
- Nigel King sued Stefon Diggs, Diggs’s brother Darez and three associates in Florida in February, accusing them of defamation for saying he stole Diggs’s Ferrari and of arranging confrontations that harmed his business and health.
- King says the Ferrari was moved in July 2024 and stolen in transit by third parties and that police never arrested, cited, or identified him as a suspect.
- King alleges Diggs began accusing him of theft in December 2024 and that a December 4, 2025 confrontation at Tootsie’s Cabaret left King bleeding and with what he calls serious, permanent injuries.
- Diggs asked the court in July 2026 to pause the suit until the other defendants can join the case so he can mount a full defense; King opposes the request and the judge has not ruled.
- The dispute is separate from Diggs’s other civil matter with Christopher Griffith, and the court’s decision on the pause could affect timing of discovery, witness testimony and the wider reputational impact on Diggs.
