Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs was arrested Monday night in New York City following an indictment from a grand jury.
The New York Times quoted ‘a person familiar with the indictment’ in confirming the indictment against the 54-year-old musical impresario; it was not immediately clear what the charge or charges were in his indictment.
Diddy’s attorney Marc Agnifilo released a statement to DailyMail.com which read: ‘We are disappointed with the decision to pursue what we believe is an unjust prosecution of Mr. Combs by the U.S. Attorney’s Office.
‘Sean “Diddy” Combs is a music icon, self-made entrepreneur, loving family man, and proven philanthropist who has spent the last 30 years building an empire, adoring his children, and working to uplift the Black community.
‘He is an imperfect person but he [is] not a criminal. To his credit Mr. Combs has been nothing but cooperative with this investigation and he voluntarily relocated to New York last week in anticipation of these charges.

Agnifilo added: ‘Please reserve your judgment until you have all the facts. These are the acts of an innocent man with nothing to hide, and he looks forward to clearing his name in court.’
Monday evening’s indictment comes less than six months after the music mogul’s homes in Los Angeles and Miami were raided by federal authorities.
