Diddy Claims It's 'Racist' To Charge HIM With Human Trafficking

Diddy Claims It's 'Racist' To Charge HIM With Human Trafficking

Diddy Claims It's 'Racist' To Charge HIM With Human Trafficking
Attorneys for Sean "Diddy" Combs are calling for the dismissal of one of the charges against him, arguing that their client is the victim of a racially motivated prosecution. The defense contends that the charge of transportation for prostitution, part of a federal indictment, is rooted in a history of discrimination and unfairly targets Combs due to his race.

“This case is unprecedented in many ways, but perhaps most notably, and most disturbingly, no White person has ever been the target of a remotely similar prosecution,” Combs’ attorneys wrote in a motion filed Tuesday evening.

Combs, the embattled music mogul, is currently being held at a federal detention center in New York City while facing multiple federal charges, including racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking, and transportation for prostitution. His legal team is focusing on Count Three of the indictment, which falls under The Mann Act—a law originally passed in 1910 to prohibit the interstate transportation of women for prostitution and human trafficking.

His attorneys argue that the charge has historically been used in discriminatory ways. “What was racist in its inception has often been racist in its operation,” the filing states. They further argue that similar conduct has gone unpunished when committed by White defendants.

Prosecutors have previously rejected these claims, stating that the case is based solely on evidence, not race. When one of Combs’ lawyers, Marc Agnifilo, told TMZ last year that the case was a “takedown of a successful Black man,” prosecutors quickly pushed back.

“He baselessly accused the government of engaging in a racist prosecution,” a prosecutor told the judge in an October hearing, adding that such claims could create a “serious risk” for a fair trial.

The Mann Act, initially called the White-Slave Traffic Act, has long been criticized for its history of targeting Black men. Combs’ attorneys argue that the charge he faces under this statute is part of that legacy. “Mr. Combs has been singled out because he is a powerful Black man, and he is being prosecuted for conduct that regularly goes unpunished,” the motion states.

CNN has reached out to the Southern District of New York prosecutors for comment, but they have not yet responded. Meanwhile, Combs’ legal team has not provided any additional remarks beyond their filing.

Combs has pleaded not guilty to all charges and remains in custody as his legal battle continues.

Will New Fed Charges Against Diddy Lead To More Arrests Of Celebs & Friends Of Sean Combs?

Will New Fed Charges Against Diddy Lead To More Arrests Of Celebs & Friends Of Sean Combs?

Is Diddy about to spend the rest of his life behind bars? Federal prosecutors sure seem to think so. The latest superseding indictment against Sean "Diddy" Combs just blew the case wide open, expanding the charges to include sex trafficking, bribery, obstruction of justice, and even arson—because, apparently, running a criminal empire was just as much a part of his portfolio as making hit records. The case paints a chilling picture of a decades-long operation, where intimidation and manipulation weren’t just tactics—they were the business model. With the feds pulling out the RICO statute, they’re able to drag every last skeleton out of the closet, reaching all the way back to 2004... and possibly even further. Retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer joins us to break down what this means, why the government isn’t stopping, and just how deep this rabbit hole goes. Is Diddy’s empire crumbling for good, or is there still more to uncover? #Diddy #TrueCrime #RICO #FBIInvestigation #HiddenKillers #CrimePodcast #Justice Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

Inside Diddy’s Empire: Former Insiders Reveal Threats, Sex Allegations, and a Culture of Power Abuse

Inside Diddy’s Empire: Former Insiders Reveal Threats, Sex Allegations, and a Culture of Power Abuse

Sean "Diddy" Combs, once hailed as a music mogul and cultural icon, is now facing a devastating reckoning as former employees and industry insiders come forward with allegations of threats, sexual misconduct, and corporate funds being used to facilitate a toxic work environment. Daniel Evans, a former music executive at Bad Boy Records, recalls a chilling moment in 1997 when Combs allegedly threatened a colleague’s life in his New York office. "I have so much money now that I could hire someone to kill you, and nobody would know," Evans remembers him saying. At the time, Combs had just received a $6 million payout for the label’s success, solidifying his status as one of the most powerful figures in the industry. Bad Boy Records, home to The Notorious B.I.G. and other top artists, quickly became known for its extravagant parties, high-profile events, and a culture that former employees now say enabled troubling behavior. Evans and others allege that Combs often had sex with women inside the label’s Daddy’s House recording studio and that company money was used to fly in women from around the country at the request of Combs, artists, and executives. “There was a course of conduct that became more egregious over time,” said attorney Tony Buzbee, who represents multiple alleged victims. One lawsuit accuses Combs of raping a woman at a 1995 promotional event for The Notorious B.I.G. She alleges that after the assault, Combs warned her, “You will disappear.” Combs has denied all allegations, with his legal team calling the lawsuits "fabricated accusations" and claiming the hip-hop mogul "never sexually assaulted or trafficked anyone." However, multiple former employees paint a picture of an empire fueled by unchecked power. Felicia Newsome, who managed the Daddy’s House studio from 1994 to 2000, recalls being called in the middle of the night after an employee refused to fetch condoms for Combs. “I told him, ‘Don’t ever ask anyone here to get condoms,’” she said. Despite warnings from some senior staff, Bad Boy Records was largely run by young executives and interns, some of whom were underage. Evans remembers a 14-year-old intern propositioning him. "She said, ‘If you ever want to get loose, you and I should kick it… but not tonight, I have a curfew.’” Shocked, Evans sent her home, but weeks later, she was back working in the mailroom. Reports of sexual exploitation escalated over the years. Crystal McKinney, a model, alleges that Combs drugged and assaulted her at the studio in 2003. That same year, another woman claims she was gang-raped by Combs and two associates when she was 17. Combs’s reputation further deteriorated after surveillance footage surfaced showing him physically assaulting ex-partner Casandra Ventura in 2016. Ventura, who filed the first of many lawsuits against him, alleged years of abuse, violence, and sex trafficking before settling out of court. Many in the industry who once admired Combs are now questioning whether they ever truly knew the man behind the empire. "One could think that he's just a disgusting human being, but that's not my memory of Puff," said longtime friend Jimmy Maynes. "Or maybe money just gives people the freedom to be exactly who they really are, and he was that guy all along." As Combs awaits trial on sex trafficking and racketeering charges, more details are expected to emerge, leaving his once-glorified legacy in ruins. #Diddy #BadBoyRecords #MusicIndustry #SexTrafficking #HipHop #Lawsuit #CelebrityScandal Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

Diddy Changed The Music Industry, But Did He Ever Have Die Hard Fans Save Him From Prison?

Diddy Changed The Music Industry, But Did He Ever Have Die Hard Fans Save Him From Prison?

What happens when the man who helped make hip-hop mainstream finds himself at the center of a storm of allegations? Sean “Diddy” Combs—producer, mogul, and the guy who managed to convince everyone he was more than just a hype man—now faces serious accusations, and suddenly, the world is looking at him very differently. Unlike artists like Biggie or Tupac, who left behind lasting cultural legacies, Diddy was always more of a background player, a power broker rather than a beloved figure. But does that mean the public will turn against him more easily? Tony Brueski and Defense Attorney Bob Motta dissect the impact of Diddy’s influence, his alleged crimes, and what it all means for a potential jury. Will his reputation as a businessman overshadow the charges? Or will the alleged actions be too much for even his most dedicated fans to ignore? And most importantly—was anyone really drinking Cîroc because of him? #Diddy #TrueCrime #HipHopScandal #JusticeSystem #CrimeAndCulture #LegalAnalysis #HiddenKillers Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

Full Breakdown Of New Federal Diddy Charges With Ret FBI Jennifer Coffindaffer

Full Breakdown Of New Federal Diddy Charges With Ret FBI Jennifer Coffindaffer Is the empire of Sean "Diddy" Combs crumbling under the weight of a decades-long criminal enterprise? Federal prosecutors certainly think so. The latest superseding indictment expands the allegations against Diddy, painting a picture far removed from the glossy world of hip-hop and luxury branding. Now, he's not just a music mogul—he's allegedly the mastermind of an operation involving sex trafficking, bribery, obstruction of justice, and even arson. And with a RICO charge in the mix, prosecutors are reaching deep into his past, potentially pulling skeletons out of closets dating back to the early 2000s and beyond. But how did investigators build this case? And just how far back will they go? Retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer joins to break down what the latest indictment means and whether we’re witnessing the final act of one of hip-hop’s biggest figures. With new witnesses, fresh allegations, and a growing pile of evidence, it seems like the feds are nowhere near done.

Dave Chappelle Jokes About Diddy’s Legal Troubles and Parties on SNL

Dave Chappelle Jokes About Diddy’s Legal Troubles and Parties on SNL

Dave Chappelle brought his signature wit and humor to Saturday Night Live this weekend, taking aim at Sean "Diddy" Combs' recent legal troubles and notorious parties. During his monologue, the comedian addressed Combs’ ongoing criminal charges with biting commentary, poking fun at the rapper’s infamous lifestyle. Chappelle joked that he was never invited to Diddy’s wild gatherings. “A friend asked me, ‘Dave, did you know anything about those freak-off parties?’” he shared during the broadcast. “I thought about it and said, ‘Nah, man, I don’t know anything about the freak-off.’ Then they asked why I wasn’t invited, and I realized, ‘Oh, my God, I’m ugly.’” Chappelle continued, “It’s just no fun being famous anymore. It’s like storming the beaches of Normandy in World War II, but I got to keep a happy expression on my face. The bullets are flying, stuff’s exploding, and I’m like [smiling]. Then, every once in a while, something terrible happens and I’ll be like, ‘Oh, Puffy got hit.’” Combs, founder of Bad Boy Records, was arrested in September and is currently detained at Brooklyn's Metropolitan Detention Center. He faces multiple charges, including sex trafficking, racketeering conspiracy, and transporting individuals for prostitution. The rapper has vehemently denied all accusations and pleaded not guilty. Chappelle’s sharp humor didn’t stop there. Reflecting on the exclusive nature of the parties, he joked, “Can you imagine if you were me, reading a newspaper and finding out everyone in Hollywood had an orgy behind your back? I’m glad they didn’t call me, though, because the stories that are coming out about it are crazy. Clearly, I have snitch energy.” Diddy’s legal team has defended his lifestyle and activities, arguing that they are not criminal. His attorney, Teny Geragos, previously stated during an appearance on NewsNation’s Cuomo, “A lifestyle and being present in activities doesn’t mean he committed a crime. Those activities and the lifestyle is not criminal. What’s notable is they never once said that these women didn’t consent to what happened, not once.” She also highlighted a key difference in the charges against Diddy compared to other high-profile cases, such as those involving R. Kelly or Jeffrey Epstein. “The difference here… no charges relating to minors,” Geragos clarified. Chappelle, known for his fearless approach to controversial topics, struck a chord with his audience, combining humor and pointed commentary. His remarks added another layer to the ongoing conversation about fame, privilege, and accountability in the entertainment industry. #DaveChappelle #SeanCombs #DiddyScandal #SaturdayNightLive #CelebrityNews #HollywoodParties #LegalTroubles Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

Diddy Brought Up On RICO Charges, What It Means Explained With Attorney Bob Motta

Diddy Brought Up On RICO Charges, What It Means Explained With Attorney Bob Motta

Did Diddy take a page out of the Suge Knight playbook—allegedly? The latest superseding indictment against Sean "Diddy" Combs suggests a criminal enterprise so vast it now has an official name in court documents: Combs Enterprises. With allegations ranging from sex trafficking and coercion to bribery, obstruction of justice, and even arson, the feds aren’t just throwing everything at the wall to see what sticks—they’re building a wall around him. Defense Attorney Bob Motta of Defense Diaries joins Tony Brueski to break down the legal implications of these new charges, explaining how the feds use RICO to target the alleged head of the operation—even if they don’t have a direct smoking gun for every crime. And this case is no sloppy state-run prosecution; when the feds come for you, they come prepared. With a trial set for May 2025 (not likely), we dig into what this means for Diddy, his alleged empire, and the many legal battles ahead. Oh, and about that whole hanging-a-person-off-a-balcony thing—was that really a Vanilla Ice-style power move, or something far more sinister? #DiddyIndictment #TrueCrime #RICO #CombsEnterprises #HiddenKillers #DefenseDiaries #CrimeNews Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?
