**Diddy Denies Allegations in Amended Indictment as Trial Approaches**

Sean 'Diddy' Combs enters a not guilty plea to new accusations of forced labor and sexual misconduct.


The hip-hop mogul faces serious charges as he prepares for a trial that could reshape his legacy.

In a significant development, Sean "Diddy" Combs has entered a not guilty plea concerning an updated indictment that introduces new charges of forced labor. The revised indictment alleges that the influential rapper and music producer compelled employees to labor under threats of both physical and reputational harm, including pressuring at least one employee into sexual acts.

Combs’s legal team has dismissed these accusations, asserting that their claims stem from consensual interactions with his girlfriends rather than coercion. His attorney, Marc Agnifilo, voiced confidence that the trial would clarify that no one had ever been forced into sexual activities against their will.

The case against Combs, one of America's highest-profile rappers, encompasses federal charges related to sex trafficking and racketeering, which the latest allegations are intertwined with. Additionally, he is contending with a myriad of other civil lawsuits which he and his lawyers categorize as opportunistic publicity attempts.

On Friday, Combs appeared in a New York courtroom wearing a prison jumpsuit, where he chose to stand for his plea. Supporters sat in the public section, including his son Christian, daughter Chance, and mother Janice, all present to show their support. Throughout the proceedings, Combs maintained an upbeat demeanor, interacting amiably with family and legal counsel.

A focal point during the hearing was a controversial video released by CNN that purportedly shows Combs kicking former girlfriend Cassandra Ventura in 2016. His legal representatives characterized this footage as "deceptive," claiming evidence of manipulation, while the prosecution views it as pivotal evidence of the case.

The upcoming trial is set for jury selection on May 5 and opening statements slated for May 12. As the legal battles unfold, the ramifications of these allegations could have a lasting impact on both Combs' career and public perception.
