It seems Diddy isn’t going out without a fight when it comes to his criminal case. His lawyer says he will take the witness stand to defend himself.
As spotted on TMZ the celebrity news site is about to release a new documentary titled The Downfall of Diddy: The Indictment on Tubi. Diddy’s lawyer Marc Agnifilo was one of the individuals interviewed for the project and the legal professional made it clear that the mogul is more than willing to testify. “I don’t know if I can keep him off the stand. I think he is very eager to tell his story and I think he will tell every part of his story; including what you see in the [Cassie] video” he explained.
Harvey Levin was taken a back by the reveal and said putting Diddy in a position to have to speak on the Cassie video, allegedly blowing up a car and more is a big gamble. “He has his story and I think he has a story that only he can tell” Agnifilo added. “It’s a human story, it’s a story of love, it’s a story of hurt. When he describes that relationship he uses the word heartbreak.”

Recently indicted music mogul Diddy can talk about his crypto wallet with Sam Bankman-Fried.
Spotted on Digital Music News, Sean “Diddy” Combs and crypto fraudster Sam Bankman-Friend are now prison mates. After getting cuffs slapped on him following his indictment on racketeering and sex trafficking, the Bad Boy general was thrown in the Metropolitan Detention Center’s unit for high-profile prisoners.
Diddy is now in the same unit as Sam Bankman-Fried, who has been in the unit since last year after a judge revoked his bail because he violated the conditions of his release.
50 Cent’s favorite punching bag has been locked up in MDC after his attorney failed to convince a judge to allow him to post $50 million in bail and a security team that will monitor him at all hours. The judge said yea, nah, expressing he believed Diddy would engage in witness tampering, and sent him to the special housing unit in the notorious Brooklyn jail.
Diddy’s Lawyers Are Working Feverishly To Get Him Out of The MDC
While Bankman requested to stay at MDC as he pursued an appeal, Diddy and his legal team argue that the conditions there are “too horrific” for a defendant like Diddy awaiting trial.
The website reports the prison houses around 1,200 inmates and is plagued with a long history of complaints ranging from overcrowding to unsafe living conditions.
Attorneys for Diddy are pushing for a speedy trial.
“My view is if the government wants to arrest him and hold him in jail, despite a massive bail package and despite his repeated offers to turn himself in, we are all going to have to move this along with unprecedented urgency,” Diddy’s lawyer Marc Agnifilo told The New York Times.
If Mr.Combs stays there long enough, Mayor Mixxy Eric Adams might join him and Bankman.

Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson has offered relentless commentary regarding the ongoing legal issues that Sean “Diddy” Combs faces, and now is set to bring forth a new docuseries centered on the mogul. Partnering with Netflix, 50 Cent is putting forth the series with Alexandria Stapleton directing.
In an exclusive report from Variety, 50 Cent — who promised late last year that a documentary of sorts was coming soon — will work with Netflix for the as-of-yet untitled docuseries. In a statement from Jackson and Stapleton, the pair are looking to examine the decades of Diddy’s reign in music and uncover the root of the serious allegations he faces.
From Variety:
“This is a story with significant human impact. It is a complex narrative spanning decades, not just the headlines or clips seen so far,” 50 Cent and Stapleton said in an exclusive statement to Variety. “We remain steadfast in our commitment to give a voice to the voiceless and to present authentic and nuanced perspectives. While the allegations are disturbing, we urge all to remember that Sean Combs’ story is not the full story of hip-hop and its culture. We aim to ensure that individual actions do not overshadow the culture’s broader contributions.”
The docuseries will be executive produced by 50 Cent’s G-Unit Film & Television alongside Stapleton’s House of Nonfiction company. Texas Crew Productions are also named as producers of the docuseries. It was reported that proceeds from the film will go towards assisting victims of sexual assault.
A release date will be forthcoming.

When it was revealed that authorities discovered a thousand bottles of baby oil during the raid of one of Diddy’s properties, much was made about the unusual stockpile of slippery moisturizer as people said it was more evidence of Diddy’s freakiness while others suggested it was laced with drugs.
Looking to dispel anymore rumors surrounding the infamous baby oil scandal, one of Diddy’s lawyers is offering up an explanation around the unnecessary amount of baby oil at a single residence, and well, OK…
According to TMZ, Attorney Marc Agnifilo spoke to TMZ for their upcoming documentary, The Downfall of Diddy: The Indictment. In an effort to defend his client Agnifilo suggested that Diddy’s now-infamous “freak offs” were simply threesomes and that he wasn’t sure if Diddy actually had a thousand bottles of baby oil (even though that’s the number the district attorney put in print) but said that Diddy might’ve bought in bulk as there’s a Costco located near each one of Diddy’s home.
Agnifilo even stated, “I don’t know why you need a thousand. One bottle of baby oil goes a long way.” (LOL)
Diddy knows why he needed that much baby oil. With rumors that the feds actually confiscated all of the bottles to possibly test for drugs, we may have some answers come trial time as Agnifilo said Diddy will more than likely take the stand in his own defense.
Check out the trailer for TMZ’s The Downfall of Diddy: The Indictment, and let us know if you’ll be checking for it when it hits Tubi sometime soon.

Al B. Sure! is weighing in on the Diddy scandal and much more. He claims his ex-girlfriend Kim Porter was murdered because she was going to expose the mogul criminal behavior.
As reported by XXL the R&B singer is speaking up and has every intention to be heard. On Monday, September 23 he took to social media to make some very interesting claims and hinted that Kim Porter’s passing should be reinvestigated. “For over a decade and a half, I’ve been posting about, and tagging random law enforcement agencies in hopes to protect loved ones, avoid deaths & tragedies that could have all been avoided,” his caption read. “Despite this, I have been ignored, ridiculed and medically silenced to cover up these crimes you’re all now aware of by a very aggressive #PR Team and costly campaign to silence and physically harm me from exposing.”
“It is evident that her potential to expose the realities of her personal abuses, being drugged, the #SexTrafficking and #HumanTrafficking she was privy to, akin to the brave actions of Mrs. Cassie Ventura, posed a threat to those profiting from such heinous activities,” he continued. “In a nutshell, Kimberly was allegedly taken from us because she was set on course to accomplish what Mrs. Cassie Ventura did by ignited the Bon Fire which brings us here today with the avalanche that has brought Satin to their chambers.”
In a separate post he also said that the recent book about her Kim’s Last Words is unauthorized and is “fabricated bullsh*t”. Al B. Sure! dated Kim Porter in the 1980’s and had son together named Quincy. She went on to date Diddy off and on starting in the 1990’s all the way up to 2007. She had three children with Sean Combs: Christian, D’Lila and Jessie. She passed away suddenly in 2018; her autopsy showed she died of pneumonia. Her children say the rumors of her passing are false.

Sean “Diddy” Combs is currently behind bars at a detention facility in New York as he awaits sentencing and his legal troubles are still mounting. A new lawsuit filed by Thalia Graves alleges that Diddy and a bodyguard brutally assaulted her and that the incident was filmed.
As reported by CNN, Thalia Graves, 48, held a press conference alongside Gloria Allred on Tuesday (September 24) in Los Angeles. Graves was a former resident of Queens who encountered Diddy around 1999 and 2000 as her boyfriend at the time was a part of the Bad Boy Records executive team.
In her lawsuit, Graves says that in the summer of 2001 while at her mother’s home, she entered into a vehicle with Combs and his bodyguard Joseph “Big Joe” Sherman and accepted a glass of wine. She alleges in the suit that after having the wine, she began to feel strange after consuming the beverage.
Graves said that she eventually passed out from the wine, which she alleges was tainted with drugs, and woke up naked in a Manhattan studio with her hands tied behind her. She goes on to say that Combs sexually assaulted her and used force to keep her stationery as she tried to resist. She added that Sherman sexually assaulted her as well as she regained and lost consciousness.
While flanked by Allred, the current Texas native said that the encounter with Diddy left her physically and emotionally damaged.
“The combination of physical and emotional pain has created a cycle of suffering from which it is so hard to break free,” Graves said, through tears. “I want to continue on this journey towards recovery and healing. I’m glad that he is locked up, but that’s a temporary feeling of relief.”
While Combs’ legal team has yet to respond to Graves’ 26-page complaint, Sherman issued a statement saying that Graves’ assertion of him assaulting her were “false and baseless accusations” and added that Graves is looking to cash in on a financial settlement.
“These accusations are not only false but damaging to my character,” Sherman said. “I have never met the accuser, and I was not working with Sean Combs during the time in question. I will be pursuing legal action to address this defamation and protect my name.”

Ever since Diddy was officially indicted by the Southern District of New York for his alleged crimes of sex trafficking and more, conspiracy theories about the disgraced mogul’s past lovers, artists and associates have flooded the internet. One in particular involving the late Kim Porter is hitting a little too close to home as far as Diddy’s children are concerned.
According to TMZ, the children that Diddy shares with Porter are taking exception to the long rumored notion that Diddy had something to do with her untimely death. Though talk of Diddy somehow playing a role in Porter’s passing in 2018 has been a topic of conspiratorial discussion for years—she was allegedly preparing to release a tell-all book before she died—the rumor once again gained steam after authorities indicted the Bad Boy founder on September 16.
Looking to quell anymore talk of Diddy having a hand in her death, sons Quincy and Christian, and twin daughters Jessie and D’Lila, took to social media on Tuesday night (Sept. 24) to address the subject and called the conspiracy theory both “hurtful” and “false” as they asked everyone to fall back on such allegations.
Per TMZ:
In a joint statement, they say it’s been hard to reconcile how their mom Kim was taken from them too soon, but they quickly dismiss any unfounded or unproven theories Diddy was involved in her death … writing, “The cause of her death has long been established. There was no foul play.”
Remember, Kim died suddenly in 2018, and an autopsy revealed her cause of death to be pneumonia. However, in the wake of Diddy’s arrest and federal indictment, some people — fans and even Quincy’s estranged biological father, Al B. Sure! — have called for Kim’s death investigation to be reopened.
Al straight up said this week he thinks Kim was murdered … a theory he tied to a new book — called “Kim’s Lost Words: A Journey for Justice From the Other Side” — allegedly containing Kim’s journal entries from the time she was with Diddy.
Still, Diddy and Kim’s children say that the book in question is a bunch of malarkey and that anyone suggesting that Kim wrote the words in that book are capping big time while saying “We are deeply saddened that the world has made a spectacle of what has been the most tragic event of our lives.”
Will people on social media actually respect the wishes of the kids? Probably not as we all know that the internet is a lawless environment where anything goes these days.
What do y’all think about Diddy and Kim Porter’s kids asking everyone to fall back on this particular conspiracy theory? Let us know in the comments section below.

Diddy is seeing one benefit after being arrested by federal authorities – his music streaming numbers have risen significantly afterward.
In the wake of Diddy being taken into custody last week by federal authorities after the unsealing of an indictment against him, the controversy has produced a silver lining thanks to his extensive music catalog. According to data provided by the data and analytics company Luminate, Diddy’s music on streaming platforms saw an increase of 18.3% during the week of his arrest compared to the prior week.
The information pertains to the embattled music mogul’s catalog – which includes the various monikers he’s used in the past including Diddy, Puff Daddy, and P. Diddy. According to George Howard, a professor of music business management at Berklee College of Music, the increase isn’t surprising as some will use music streams as a way to investigate someone further. “Music just becomes another piece of information as people try to comprehend the atrocities,” Howard said in an interview.
“It’s like, ‘What would someone whose brain works like that, allegedly, what would their music sound like?’” He also noted that the anonymity that streaming offers is a key factor, as opposed to publicly seeking out the offender’s music. “Imagine walking into a record store now like, ‘Yeah, I want to buy this Diddy CD,’” Howard said, noting that the same phenomena occurred with disgraced singer R. Kelly who was prosecuted and convicted of sex trafficking.
“The natural curiosity that these types of charges evoke makes sense,” Howard added. “It’s like driving by a car crash. People want to look.” Diddy is currently being held without bail in a New York City detention center after being arrested Sept. 9 and charged with federal racketeering and sex trafficking with charges dating back to 2008. The unsealed indictment alleges Diddy, aka Sean Combs, engaged in coercing, threatening, and abusing women and men “to fulfill his sexual desires, protect his reputation, and conceal his conduct.”
Less than a week after he was indicted on sex trafficking and racketeering charges, Sean “Diddy” Combs is facing yet another civil sexual abuse case, this time claiming that he and another man “viciously raped” a woman at his New York City studio in 2001.
In a complaint filed Tuesday in Manhattan federal court, attorneys for Thalia Graves say that Combs and his head of security, Joseph Sherman, isolated her, drugged her and sexually assaulted her at his studio. The lawsuit says the rapper also filmed the attack and later showed it to others.
“For decades, she remained silent and did not report the crime out of fear that defendants would use their power to ruin her life, as they had repeatedly, explicitly threatened to do,” writes Graves’ lawyers, who include well-known attorney Gloria Allred. “To this day, plaintiff suffers from severe depression, anxiety, and panic attacks, and still lives in fear of defendants.”
The case is the latest of at least nine similar civil suits filed against Combs over the past year, each of which accuses him of sexual abuse and other wrongdoing. And it comes just a week after he was arrested and indicted by federal prosecutors on sweeping accusations of sex trafficking and racketeering – charges that, if proven, could see him sent to prison for life.
In the new case, Graves claims she was 25 years old at the time of the attack. She says she was dating one of Combs’ employees, and that he exploited the relationship to “lure” her into meeting him and Sherman alone at the studio.
Once alone, Graves alleges they gave her a drink that was “likely laced with a drug that eventually caused her briefly to lose consciousness.” She says she later “awoke to find herself bound and restrained,” at which time the pair “proceeded to brutally sexually abuse” her. Her attorneys say that “both men were undeterred by plaintiff’s cries for help throughout the attack.”
A representative for Combs did not immediately return a request for comment. Sherman could not immediately be located for comment.
Following the attack, Graves says she “never recovered,” suffering suicidal thoughts and other severe emotional damage. And she says any progress in healing was “dramatically reversed” when she learned last year that Combs had filmed the alleged attack and had “shown the video to multiple men.”
“Plaintiff could not believe that Defendants would record themselves committing such a gruesome crime and then proceed proudly and widely to disseminate the recording of it,” her attorneys write. “This action seeks redress for defendants’ brutalizing, misogynistic, and violent attacks.”

While more individuals continue to share their negative experiences with Diddy, Ray J says he partied with the mogul on several occasions and never witnessed any criminal activities.
As spotted on TMZ, the tech entrepreneur recently spoke to Chris Cuomo on CUOMO. While he discussed a variety of topics, it was his response to partying with Diddy that was the highlight of the interview. When asked if he was witness to any of the alleged “freak offs,” he made it clear he did not. “We’ve never seen the stuff that’s being said and the stuff that people are finding out, like, I’ve never been in rooms that people are talking about, and I never knew they existed” he explained.
The “Wait A Minute” singer also went on to add that entertainers and high-profile celebrities should learn from this moment. “We’ve all been around him, at least in my era, and have looked up to him,” Ray J said. “And this situation is super unfortunate, but it’s important to learn a lesson right right now and ensure the next generation understands how to move differently with transparency and integrity,” he continued. In closing, Ray J shared that artists of the previous generation need to be “accountable” and said, “I don’t think this is a time to tear anybody down.”
