Sean 'Diddy' Combs Maintains Innocence Amid New Allegations of Forced Labor

The rap mogul faces serious accusations but continues to assert his innocence in court.


As Sean "Diddy" Combs enters the legal arena with new charges of forced labor and sex acts, he pledges to clear his name.



Sean "Diddy" Combs has formally entered a plea of not guilty to an amended indictment that includes alarming new allegations of forced labor involving his employees. The latest superseding indictment claims that the music icon coerced workers into grueling hours, wielding threats of physical and reputational harm. Notably, it accuses him of forcing at least one employee to engage in sexual acts against their will.

Combs' legal representation staunchly denies these allegations, arguing that his interactions with women have always been consensual. Attorney Marc Agnifilo expressed confidence that the truth would emerge in court, highlighting that the charges don’t reflect Diddy’s conduct and instead revolve around fabricated claims. "He looks forward to his day in court," Agnifilo said, emphasizing Combs' innocence against the backdrop of the upcoming federal sex trafficking and racketeering trial.

The courtroom scene on Friday presented a mixture of emotions as Combs, dressed in a greenish-tan prison jumpsuit and sporting a scruffy appearance, stood firm during his plea. Family and friends, including his son Christian and daughter Chance, were present for support, with Combs displaying warmth towards them despite the serious nature of the proceedings.

Central to the case is a controversial video that purportedly shows Combs assaulting his former girlfriend, Cassandra Ventura, in a hotel hallway in 2016. Combs' lawyers have criticized the footage as misleading and manipulated, highlighting inconsistencies in its presentation. Conversely, prosecutors described the footage as essential evidence, escalating tensions in the courtroom as both sides prepare for a pivotal trial that has captured public attention.

As jury selection is set to commence on 5 May, followed by opening statements on 12 May, the fate of Sean Combs hangs in the balance, with multiple civil lawsuits alleging rape and assault complicating matters. His defense continues to argue that these allegations are stunts for media attention, as the music mogul faces one of the most challenging periods of his illustrious career.
