Music mogul Sean Diddy Combs has been arrested in Manhattan after a grand jury indicted him. It is reported that the disgraced music executive was taken into custody by federal agents with Homeland Security.

Combs has been facing major public scrutiny since his former girlfriend Cassie Ventura accused him of sex trafficking and years of abuse in a 2023 lawsuit. Most recently, he was accused of years of psychological and physical abuse in a lawsuit filed by singer Don Richard.

In a statement, Diddy’s attorney said in part, ” 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. He is an imperfect person, but not a criminal. He looks forward to clearing his name in court.”

The artiste and music executive has denied wrongdoing and his legal team has said they plan to fight them in court.
