Sean “Diddy” Combs, the legendary music mogul, was taken into custody by federal agents in New York following an ongoing s*x trafficking probe.
The arrest, which occurred at the Park Hyatt Hotel in Manhattan, came after a grand jury indictment that has remained sealed for the moment. According to reports gathered by Naijay.com, this arrest is tied to months of investigation, with raids conducted earlier this year at Diddy’s residences in Los Angeles and Miami.
Combs, who has been facing a slew of legal challenges, including multiple s*xual assault lawsuits, was said to have voluntarily relocated to New York in anticipation of the arrest. His legal team has consistently maintained his innocence. Diddy’s lawyer, Marc Agnifilo, called the charges “unjust” and emphasized that Diddy has been fully cooperative with the authorities throughout the investigation. Despite these claims, federal prosecutors are expected to unseal the indictment in the coming days, revealing the specifics of the charges against him.
The arrest follows mounting allegations of sxual misconduct against the hip-hop icon. One of the high-profile accusations came from former girlfriend Cassie, who accused him of a decade-long abusive relationship. Additionally, multiple women have stepped forward with lawsuits, some dating back as far as the 1990s, alleging sxual battery, abuse, and even trafficking. Naijay.com also learned that Diddy’s properties were searched in March as part of the ongoing federal investigation into these claims.
While his legal team prepares for what may be a long battle, Diddy continues to deny all allegations, calling them attempts to “assassinate his character” and asserting that these are baseless claims made by people seeking financial gain.
Stay tuned as Naijay.com continues to follow developments in this high-profile case.
