American rapper Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs arrested in New York | News

The charges against Combs were not immediately clear.

Sean “Diddy” Combs, the American rapper and music producer, has been arrested in New York after being indicted by a grand jury.

It is not yet clear on what charges Combs was arrested Monday.

Combs’ attorney, Marc Agnifilo, issued a statement expressing disappointment over authorities’ decision to “unfairly prosecute” the rap mogul.

“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,” Agnifilo said.

“To his credit, Mr. Combs has been nothing but cooperative with this investigation and voluntarily relocated to New York last week in anticipation of these charges. Please reserve judgment until you have all the facts.”

In March, federal authorities raided Combs’ properties in Los Angeles and Miami.

Combs has also been accused of sexual abuse and misconduct in a number of lawsuits since November, when his ex-girlfriend Casandra Ventura sued him for alleged physical and sexual abuse.

Combs and Ventura settled the lawsuit the day after it was filed, without disclosing the terms of the agreement.

Combs has strongly denied the allegations in the lawsuits against him, saying his accusers were looking for “a quick payout.”

In May, Combs again came under fire when CNN aired a leaked video showing the rapper violently grabbing, dragging and kicking Ventura in 2016.

Combs publicly apologized after the video was released, calling his actions “inexcusable.”

Combs, who was also known as Puffy Daddy and Love, became one of the most successful producers in rap history after forming Bad Boy in the early 1990s.

During his career spanning over thirty years, he has collaborated with a number of top artists, including the infamous BIG Mary J. Blige and Usher.

Combs has also ventured into other fields outside of the music world, including a fashion label, a perfume brand and a line of alcoholic beverages.
