Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs arrested by federal agents in New York

Popular US rapper Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs has just been arrested by Federal agents upon his arrival to New york.

This arrest happened amidst a wave of lawsuits against him alleging sexual assault and misconduct.

Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs was arrested at the Park Hyatt hotel on West 57th Street. U.S. Attorney Damian Williams confirmed in a statement that on Monday evening, federal agents arrested Combs based on a sealed indictment filed by the Southern District of New York.

“We expect to move to unseal the indictment in the morning and will have more to say at that time,” Williams said.

His attorney Marc Agnifilo expressed his disappointment in a statement saying Combs has been very cooperative with the investigation and “voluntarily relocated to New York last week in anticipation of these charges.”

“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,” the statement said. “He is an imperfect person but he is not a criminal.”

“These are the acts of an innocent man with nothing to hide, and he looks forward to clearing his name in court,” it added.

It is not exactly clear on what charges Combs, the rapper-turned-music mogul, is being arrested for. He has however had a wave of lawsuits with the recent one happening in November, when former girlfriend Casandra Ventura sued him in federal court, accusing him of years of physical and sexual abuse.
