Sean 'Diddy' Combs, a well-known rapper and music mogul, has recently been taken into custody on unspecified federal charges. The 54-year-old, who has been facing multiple allegations of sexual abuse and trafficking, has repeatedly denied these claims. He was arrested at the Park Hyatt hotel in New York, where he was staying while under investigation.
Marc Agnifilo, Diddy's attorney, expressed disappointment in the arrest of his client, whom he believes is innocent. In a statement to TMZ, Agnifilo stated, "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." He also added that Diddy has been fully cooperative with the investigation and even voluntarily relocated to New York in anticipation of these charges. Agnifilo urged people to reserve judgment until all the facts are known, stating that Diddy is an imperfect person but not a criminal.
The news of Diddy's arrest follows previous raids on his properties in Los Angeles and Miami earlier this year. The US Attorney for the Southern District of New York, Damian Williams, confirmed the arrest in a statement. He revealed that federal agents arrested Diddy based on a sealed indictment and that more details would be revealed the following morning.
In recent months, serious allegations have surfaced against Diddy, including accusations of rape, physical abuse, and sex trafficking. These allegations have been made by multiple women, including his ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura. A lawsuit filed by Ventura in November 2023 accused him of raping and physically abusing her over a period of 10 years. Diddy denied these claims, but other women have also come forward with similar allegations.
CCTV footage of Diddy attacking Ventura in a hotel was released by CNN in May, causing a stir in the media. Two days later, Diddy released a video apologizing for his actions. Ventura later issued a statement on her Instagram page, thanking those who have supported her during this difficult time.
Diddy has also been accused of sex trafficking, raping an underage woman, and trying to "groom" a producer. He has vehemently denied all of these allegations. The most recent lawsuit against him was filed by former Danity Kane singer Dawn Richard, who claimed that Diddy manipulated her and other female artists into thinking that abuse and exploitation were necessary for success in the music industry.
Other claimants, such as April Lampros and Crystal McKinney, have also come forward with allegations against Diddy. Lampros accused him of sexual assault and battery, while McKinney claimed that he forced her to perform a sex act on him in exchange for a career boost.
In response to these allegations, Diddy released a statement saying, "Sickening allegations have been made against me by individuals looking for a quick payday. Let me be absolutely clear: I did not do any of the awful things being alleged. I will fight for my name, my family, and for the truth."
