Odell Beckham Jr. released a formal statement on Monday in response to being named in an amended sexual assault lawsuit against Diddy.

"I have been informed of the allegations about me in a suit in CA," the statement reads. "I really can't even believe that my name is mentioned in that matter. There is absolutely no truth to those allegations."

Beckham has denied ever meeting the accuser and claimed to be unaware if he has ever been to Orinda, California, where the alleged assault took place.

"I do not know and have never met the person that filed the suit," the statement continued. "I was not anywhere near Orinda, CA at that time. In fact, I don’t think I have ever even been to Orinda, CA. I have never done anything like that, and I would never do anything like that to anyone. I'm confident that these ridiculous claims against me will be dismissed."

Druski, who was also included in the suit, denied the allegations on X Sunday, calling it a "fabricated lie," while also claiming he was not a public figure when the alleged incident took place and did not have any connections to the entertainment industry. 

"Boy I'll tell u what. This world makes absolutely no sense," Beckham commented on Druski's post. "I am covered by God. He will prevail. I kno who I am, I kno who u are, keep ur head. That name will be cleared. Shxts stupid."

Beckham is accused of participating in the alleged sexual assault of Ashley Parham inside a Orinda, California, residence in March 2018, according to New York Post. The 32-year-old NFL wide receiver was identified as "Cornelius," which is his middle name.

"Plaintiff has come to discover the Defendant Doe Cornelius who raped her was Defendant Odell," the lawsuit claims.
