Sean 'Diddy' Combs Declares Not Guilty Amid New Indictment

The rap mogul faces serious allegations including forced labor and sexual misconduct.


In a courtroom appearance, Sean Combs maintained his innocence against amended charges adding gravity to his legal battles.


Sean "Diddy" Combs has formally pleaded not guilty to a revised indictment that includes disturbing new allegations of forced labor and sexual misconduct. According to the superseding indictment, the renowned music mogul is accused of pressuring employees to work excessive hours while threatening them with physical harm and even compelling at least one individual to engage in sexual acts with him. Combs's legal team have firmly dismissed these allegations, arguing they stem from consensual relationships rather than coercion, as reported by the New York Times.

The lawyer representing Combs, Marc Agnifilo, expressed confidence that evidence will emerge in court demonstrating that no one has ever been forced to participate in sexual acts against their will. Combs, recognized as one of the most prominent figures in the U.S. rap scene, is facing a complex legal web that includes a federal sex trafficking and racketeering case alongside a series of civil lawsuits alleging sexual assault.

During a recent court appearance in New York's southern district federal court, Combs was escorted into the proceedings wearing a green prison jumpsuit and exhibited signs of resilience, even smiling and engaging with family members present for support. The courtroom was alive with tension as discussions unfolded regarding a controversial video that allegedly captured Combs in a violent incident involving a former girlfriend in 2016. His lawyers refuted the authenticity of the video, stating that it had been manipulated.

As the prosecution deems the footage integral to their case, a compromise between both legal teams was encouraged by the judge. After previously expressing remorse for the incident depicted, Combs looks ahead to jury selection, expected to commence on May 5, followed by opening statements on May 12. As this high-profile case unfolds, the spotlight remains on Combs, whose legal troubles continue to escalate amid surrounding allegations of sexual violence.
