Rap mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs was arrested by federal agents in Manhattan, following a sealed indictment from the Southern District of New York. The exact charges remain undisclosed, but U.S. Attorney Damian Williams confirmed that more details will be revealed soon. Combs’s legal team stated that he voluntarily relocated to New York, expecting the charges, and criticized the prosecution as unjust.
Diddy faces numerous civil lawsuits accusing him of sexual assault, with some cases dating back to the 1990s. The rapper, known for his multiple stage names like Puff Daddy and P Diddy, has long been a major figure in hip hop and business. However, recent allegations describe him as a predator who used drugs and alcohol to abuse women.
One of the most prominent cases came last year when singer Cassie, who had a long-term relationship with Combs, accused him of over a decade of abuse. That lawsuit was settled out of court, but additional claims followed, including accusations of gang rape.
Earlier this year, federal agents raided his homes in Miami and Los Angeles, signaling a growing investigation into the music icon. Despite the mounting allegations, Combs maintains his innocence and looks forward to clearing his name in court.
