I wouldn't expect one.
Explanation:
Diamond is simply an allotrope of carbon, and contains nothing but carbon. Carbon in elemental form does not react with lead, so I would expect no reaction between lead and diamond.
If there was a reaction, we might expect to form "Lead carbide", but actually lead is unreactive in that sense, and is one of the few metals that doesn't form carbides.
