Diddy in Federal Custody in NYC: Arrested in Connection to Criminal Investigation and Sex Trafficking Charges

Diddy, the music icon and self-made entrepreneur, is currently in federal custody in New York City. The FBI reportedly took him into custody at a midtown hotel on Monday, with a grand jury indictment pending. The charges against him are currently unknown, but they are said to be related to a criminal investigation into alleged sex trafficking and other possible crimes.

Diddy’s attorney, March Agnifio, has spoken out against the prosecution, stating that Diddy is not a criminal and has been cooperative with the investigation. Diddy himself has voluntarily relocated to New York in anticipation of the charges and is looking forward to clearing his name in court.

This arrest comes on the heels of a recent lawsuit filed against Diddy by singer-songwriter Dawn Richard, accusing him of physical abuse and sexual assault. Richard alleges a pattern of abusive behavior between 2009 and 2011, including instances of forced rehearsals, harassment, and groping. She also claims to have witnessed Diddy being violent towards his then-girlfriend Cassie.

Diddy’s legal team has responded to the lawsuit, calling it a “manufactured series of false claims” and stating that Diddy is confident in proving his innocence in court. The lawsuit has come as a shock to Diddy, who has described it as an attempt to rewrite history and get a payday.

As the legal battle unfolds, Diddy remains in federal custody, awaiting further developments in the case. Stay tuned for more updates on this developing story.
