Diddy’s lawyer, Marc Agnifilo, quickly described it as an ‘unjust persecution’.
Agnifilo said: “Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs is a music icon, self-made entrepreneur, loving family man and proven philanthropist who has built an empire over the past 30 years, adores his children and works 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 in this investigation, and voluntarily moved to New York last week pending these charges. Please reserve judgment until you have all the facts.
“These are the actions of an innocent man who has nothing to hide, and he looks forward to clearing his name in court.”
