Written by on September 17, 2024

Sean “Diddy” Combs, the renowned American rapper and entrepreneur, faced arrest by federal agents on Monday night at a Manhattan hotel in New York City. The arrest followed a grand jury indictment, as confirmed by a source close to the case.

Combs has faced intense scrutiny for nearly a year due to a civil lawsuit filed by his former girlfriend, Cassie Ventura. This lawsuit has led to at least 10 additional legal actions, although Combs has firmly denied all allegations against him.

While prosecutors have not yet disclosed the specific charges, Combs’ attorney, Marc Agnifilo, has criticized the U.S. Attorney’s Office for what he deems an unjust prosecution. Agnifilo noted that Combs had voluntarily travelled to New York in anticipation of the charges.

Agnifilo stated, “We are deeply disappointed that the U.S. Attorney’s Office chose to pursue what we believe is an unfair prosecution of Mr Combs.” Sean “Diddy” Combs is a music icon, successful entrepreneur, devoted family man, and philanthropist. Over the past 30 years, he has built his career and supported his community. While he may not be perfect, he is not a criminal.”

Agnifilo further emphasized that Combs has been fully cooperative throughout the investigation and moved to New York last week in preparation for the charges. He added, “We ask that you hold off on judgment until we present all the facts. Mr. Combs remains committed to proving his innocence and is eager to clear his name in court.”
