On a seemingly normal day in Central Park, Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs and his son were enjoying a leisurely stroll. Little did they know that Homeland Security agents would show up at their luxury hotel hours later to arrest the 54-year-old.

While critics of Combs – including Aubrey O’Day, former member of his all-girl group Danity Kane – rejoiced in his arrest, the rapper’s attorney, Marc Agnifilo, released a statement condemning his “unjust prosecution”.

Agnifilo expressed his disappointment with the decision to pursue what he believes is an unjust prosecution of Mr. Combs by the U.S. Attorney’s Office. He defended Combs, stating, “Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs is a music icon, self-made entrepreneur, loving family man, and proven philanthropist who has spent the last 30 years building an empire, adoring his children, and working to uplift the Black community.”

He continued, “He is an imperfect person but he is not a criminal. To his credit, Mr. Combs has been nothing but cooperative with this investigation and he voluntarily relocated to New York last week in anticipation of these charges.”
