Sean “Diddy” Combs has reportedly been taken into federal custody in New York following a grand jury indictment, just days after Dawn Richard, a former member of his groups Danity Kane and Dirty Money, filed a lawsuit accusing him of sexual assault, battery, and failure to provide adequate compensation.

“Over the decades following his rise to fame, Mr. Combs’ star-studded, larger-than-life persona overshadowed his vicious temper and pervasive acts of violence directed towards those in his inner circle – specifically, women,” the lawsuit alleges.

According to TMZ, Diddy was detained at the FBI’s Manhattan field office. His arrest is linked to an ongoing criminal investigation involving allegations of sex trafficking and other offenses. The investigation prompted search warrants at his homes in Beverly Hills and Miami earlier this year, in March.

Diddy’s attorney, Marc Agnifilo, expressed disappointment in a statement to TMZ: “We are disheartened by the U.S. Attorney’s decision to pursue what we believe is an unjust prosecution. Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs is a music icon, self-made entrepreneur, devoted family man, and dedicated philanthropist who has spent the last 30 years building an empire, raising his children, and empowering the Black community.”

Agnifilo further stated, “Though he is not without flaws, Mr. Combs is not a criminal. He has fully cooperated with the investigation, even voluntarily relocating to New York last week in anticipation of these charges. We ask the public to withhold judgment until all facts are known. These are the actions of an innocent man with nothing to hide, and he looks forward to clearing his name in court.”

Young Dolph Murder Suspect Claims Yo Gotti's Brother Big Jook Placed $100K Bounty on Rapper miixtapechiick

The murder trial of Young Dolph began on Monday, September 23.

During the trial of his co-defendant Justin Johnson, murder suspect Cornelius Smith took the stand and admitted to shooting the rapper, whose real name was Adolph Robert Thornton Jr., outside Makeda’s Butter Cookies in Memphis on November 17, 2021. The shooting, which occurred in broad daylight, was reportedly part of a $100,000 bounty placed by Yo Gottis brother, Big Jook.

Yo Gotti and Young Dolph had a well-known feud dating back to 2016. In September 2017, an associate of Yo Gotti was arrested for attempted murder after a shooting targeting Dolph, but the charges were later dropped.

Smith testified that he was the one seen firing the semi-automatic weapon in the CCTV footage of Dolph’s murder. While Johnson is the only one of the three suspects currently on trial, Smith’s testimony was pivotal in building the case against him.

Smith also revealed that he had only received $800 of the promised $100,000 payment before his arrest, with Big Jook later adding $50,000 to his lawyer’s retainer. “I wasn’t feeling anything at the time,” Smith stated. “I’m not gonna lie. I was just trying to get some money.”

Big Jook, born Anthony Mims, lost his life earlier this year on January 13 following a shooting incident at a Memphis restaurant after a funeral service. He was transported to St. Francis Hospital, where he later succumbed to his injuries, according to Fox 13 Memphis.

Yo Gotti has yet to comment on the allegations that his brother was involved in Dolph’s death.
