Diddy remains in custody at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, where he is awaiting federal trial. He was initially denied bail by the court, but was denied bail a second time during his appeal.
Following the indictment by the U.S. Attorney's Office, Combs' attorney Mark Agnifilo released a statement obtained by Fox News Digital.
“I am disappointed in the decision by the U.S. Attorney's Office to pursue what I believe to be an unjustified prosecution of Mr. Combs,” Agnifilo said in a statement. “Sean 'Diddy' Combs is a music icon, self-made entrepreneur, and family man who has spent the past 30 years building an empire, loving children, and uplifting the black community. He is an imperfect man. To his credit, Mr. Combs has been nothing but cooperative with this investigation and has been anticipating these charges since last week. I moved to New York voluntarily. Please suspend judgment until we know all the facts. This was the act of an innocent man with nothing to hide, and I look forward to clearing my name in court.” spoke.
