    Combs' Clothing Line Accused of Sweatshop Conditions AP
    Rap music mogul Sean "P. Diddy" Combs' clothing line, Sean John, has been accused by a workers' rights advocate of using a Honduran supplier that subjects its laborers to sweatshop conditions.

    "We should be paid what we're owed. We make so little that it's not enough to have a dignified life," said Lydda Gonzalez, 19, who was fired after she tried to organize a union.
