has reportedly been arrested in New York.
The music mogul was taken into custody on Monday, September 16, in Manhattan after a grand jury indicted him amid his multiple sexual assault lawsuits and a federal investigation, according to The New York Times.
The charges in the indictment were not immediately clear.
“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,” Diddy’s attorney told Us Weekly in a statement. “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.”
Agnifilo 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.”
The rapper was reportedly taken into custody amid his seven ongoing sexual assault and sex trafficking allegations against him. He has denied all the claims.
This is a developing story.
