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.
