Embattled musician and producer Sean “Diddy” Combs has been arrested, the mogul’s attorney tells CNN.
According to a source, Combs was arrested in a Manhattan hotel on Monday night and is currently being processed. The charges are unclear at this time. “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,” Marc Agnifilo, an attorney for Combs, told CNN. Combs’ attorney said that the musician has been cooperating with the investigation, and relocated to New York last week in anticipation of being charged.
These are the acts of an innocent man with nothing to hide, and he looks forward to clearing his name in court.” Earlier this year, Combs became the target of a months-long sex trafficking probe by the Homeland Security Investigations agency, which included dramatic searches of the musician’s Los Angeles and Miami homes in March. Since last November, Combs has been hit with ten lawsuits, nine directly accusing him of sexual assault.
