Diddy has been arrested by the Feds following a six-month investigation and charged in a grand jury indictment with sex trafficking and racketeering.
Diddy Indicted on Serious Charges
On Tuesday (Sept. 17), the details of Diddy’s grand jury indictment were unsealed by the U.S. District Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York. The 14-page indictment, which has been obtained by XXL, includes several damning charges against the Bad Boy Entertainment founder including racketeering and sex trafficking by force, fraud or coercion.
Diddy’s attorney Marc Agnifilo spoke with reporters outside a New York courtroom this morning.
“I spent the evening with [Diddy],” Agnifilo revealed. “His spirits are good, he’s confident. He’s dealing with this head-on like he’s dealt with every challenge in his life. And he’s not guilty, he’s innocent of these charges.”
He continued, “This is what we’ve been expecting since the search in March…He’s going to plead not guilty, obviously, and he’s going to fight this with all of his energy and all of his might.”

Diddy Arrested Following Investigation
Diddy was taken into custody in New York City on Monday (Sept. 16), after being indicted by a grand jury following a lengthy investigation.
Diddy’s attorney, Marc Agnifilo, has provided the following statement to XXL concerning Puff’s arrest on Monday.
“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,” the statement reads. “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. He is an imperfect person but he is not a criminal. To his credit Mr. Combs has been nothing but cooperative with this investigation and he voluntarily relocated to New York last week in anticipation of these charges. Please reserve your judgment until you have all the facts. These are the acts of an innocent man with nothing to hide, and he looks forward to clearing his name in court.”
Prior to the indictment, Diddy had been hit with a total of 10 sexual and physical abuse lawsuits since November of 2023, which seemed to be the catalyst for criminal charges. In March, his homes in Los Angeles and Miami were raided by agents for the Department of Homeland Security. In May, video surfaced of the disgraced media mogul assaulting his ex-girlfriend Cassie in a Los Angeles hotel in 2016.
