  • Sean Combs was arrested following a grand jury indictment, according to a close source.
  • Singer Combs faces scrutiny for a year following accusations from ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura in a civil lawsuit, leading to multiple lawsuits, despite consistently denouncing all allegations.
  • Combs’ lawyer, Marc Agnifilo, has criticised the US Attorney’s Office for pursuing an unjust prosecution, despite prosecutors not disclosing the charges.

Renowned American rapper Sean “Diddy” Combs was apprehended by federal agents on Monday evening at a hotel in Manhattan, New York.

The arrest of Combs was a result of a grand jury indictment, as reported by a source familiar with the situation.

The artist has been under intense scrutiny for nearly a year due to allegations made by his former partner, Cassie Ventura, in a civil lawsuit, which has led to at least ten additional lawsuits. Combs has consistently refuted all claims against him.

While the specific charges have not been revealed by prosecutors, Combs’ attorney, Marc Agnifilo, has criticized the U.S. Attorney’s Office for what he perceives as an unjust prosecution.

Agnifilo emphasized that Combs had willingly traveled to New York in anticipation of the charges.

“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. 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 added in a statement.

The lawyer added …

“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.”
