Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs pleads not guilty in court to new charges of threatening and exploiting employees

Sean “Diddy” Combs has pleaded not guilty to a new indictment, which adds allegations of threatening and exploiting employees.

Combs, 55, returned to court in Manhattan on Friday for a pretrial hearing where he was arraigned on the superseding indictment.

The indictment accuses Combs of forcing employees to work long hours with little sleep and using threats to get them to comply with his demands, NBC News reported.

Combs previously pleaded not guilty to charges of racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking and transportation to engage in prostitution.

The embattled music mogul is being held at a federal detention center in New York City as he awaits trial which is set to start on May 5.
