Sean "Diddy" Combs was arrested in New York based on a sealed indictment. His attorney claims Combs is innocent and cooperative, while the exact charges remain undisclosed. This arrest follows recent legal issues, including a lawsuit by former girlfriend Cassie.
Sean "Diddy" Combs was arrested by federal agents on Monday night at a Manhattan hotel in New York, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office.
Combs, who had been residing at the hotel for several weeks, was apprehended based on a sealed indictment from the Southern District of New York. U.S. Attorney Damian Williams indicated that the indictment details would be made public the following morning.
Combs’ attorney, Marc Agnifilo, expressed frustration, asserting that Combs had been fully cooperative with the investigation.
Agnifilo emphasized that the music mogul, known for his contributions to the industry and philanthropy, had relocated to New York in anticipation of these charges. He contended that Combs is innocent and eager to clear his name in court.
The specific charges against Combs were not disclosed immediately. The arrest follows recent legal troubles for Combs, including a lawsuit filed last week by former girlfriend Casandra Ventura, also known as Cassie.
Ventura’s lawsuit, which alleges years of physical and sexual abuse, was settled shortly after being filed, though the terms were not revealed. Combs has consistently denied these allegations, and the settlement was not an admission of guilt.
