Sean 'Diddy' Combs has been arrested by federal authorities in Manhattan following a sealed grand jury indictment. While specific charges remain undisclosed, sources close to the investigation suggest they involve racketeering and sex trafficking allegations.

Combs was taken to the FBI Field Office in Manhattan after his arrest. This development follows recent federal raids on his properties in Beverly Hills and Miami, where a grand jury has been collecting testimony from accusers and witnesses over several months.

His attorney, Marc Agnifilo, expressed disappointment with the prosecution, stating that Combs had been cooperative and voluntarily relocated to New York in anticipation of the charges. The legal team maintains that while Combs "is an imperfect person," he "is not criminal" and "looks forward to clearing his name in court."

The arrest comes amid mounting legal troubles for the hip-hop mogul, who has faced multiple sexual assault lawsuits since his former girlfriend, singer Cassie Ventura, filed legal action against him last year alleging sexual and physical abuse.

Combs, known for launching the careers of artists like Notorious B.I.G. and Mary J. Blige, has been a prominent figure in the music industry since the 1990s. The US Attorney's Office in New York has not yet responded to requests for comment on the case.
