Diddy was reportedly arrested in Manhattan on Monday (September 17) following a grand jury indictment, although the charges have yet to be divulged. The ball started rolling in November 2023, when ex Cassie Ventura filed a bombshell lawsuit against the Bad Boy Records mogul accusing him of sexual and physical abuse. A probe into Diddy’s lifestyle followed and a federal investigation ensued.
Federal agents executed search warrants at his properties in Los Angeles and Miami in March and investigators interviewed several people in relation to allegations of sex trafficking, sexual assault and the solicitation and distribution of illegal narcotics and firearms.
Diddy’s attorney Marc Agnifilo addressed the arrest in a statement to AllHipHop.
“We are disappointed with the decision to pursue what we believe is an unjust prosecution of Mr. Combs by the U.S. Attorney’s Office,” Agnifilo said. “Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs is a music icon, self-made entrepreneur, loving family man, and proven philanthropist who has spent the last 30 years building an empire, adoring his children, and working to uplift the Black community. He is an imperfect person, but he Is not a criminal.
“To his credit Mr. Combs has been nothing but cooperative with this investigation and he voluntarily relocated to New York last week in anticipation of these charges. Please reserve your judgment until you have all the facts. These are the acts of an innocent man with nothing to hide, and he looks forward to clearing his name in court.”
This is a developing story.
