Famous American singer, Sean Combs, professionally called Diddy, has been arrested in New York.
He was arrested on Monday night by federal agents in a Manhattan hotel, following a grand jury indictment.
Marc Agnifilo, his lawyer, criticized the US Attorney’s Office for pursuing what he considers an unjust prosecution.
The lawyer noted that the singer had voluntarily traveled to New York anticipating the charges.
“We are disappointed with the decision to pursue what we believe is an unjust prosecution of Combs by the U.S. Attorney’s Office.
“Sean Combs is a music icon, a loving family man, self-made entrepreneur and proven philanthropist who has spent the last 30 years building an empire 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 cooperative with this investigation and he voluntarily relocated to New York a week ago in anticipation of these charges.
“These are the acts of an innocent man and he looks forward to clearing his name in court,” he said.
NEWSUNPLUG reports that Diddy is currently facing multiple sexual assault charges.
