Diddy Arrested in NYC Hotel Lobby
On Monday night, federal agents arrested Sean "Diddy" Combs in the lobby of a New York City hotel. The video shows law enforcement officers stopping Diddy, who was walking with several men, and separating him from his companions.
Diddy’s team appeared shocked, while the rapper was initially unaware of the impending arrest. The indictment had been anticipated, but the timing came as a surprise.
Moments before the arrest, Diddy had been interacting with fans on the street. He now faces charges of racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking, fraud, and prostitution.
Diddy was denied bail and is currently being held at the MDC Brooklyn detention center. His attorney expressed disappointment and insists his client is not a criminal.
