Famed American musician and entrepreneur Sean Combs, popularly known as Diddy, was arrested in New York on Monday night by federal agents at a Manhattan hotel following a grand jury indictment.
Diddy’s lawyer, Marc Agnifilo, has criticized the U.S. Attorney’s Office for what he described as an unjust prosecution, stating that the charges are unfounded.
“We are disappointed with the decision to pursue what we believe is an unjust prosecution of Combs by the U.S. Attorney’s Office,” Agnifilo remarked.
He emphasized that Diddy had traveled to New York voluntarily, fully aware of the impending charges.
“Sean Combs is a music icon, a loving family man, a self-made entrepreneur, and a proven philanthropist who has spent the last 30 years building an empire 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 cooperative with this investigation and voluntarily relocated to New York a week ago in anticipation of these charges. These are the acts of an innocent man, and he looks forward to clearing his name in court,” the lawyer added.
Thepaan reports that Diddy is currently facing multiple sexual assault charges.
