Sean ‘P Diddy’ Combs was spotted out and about in New York City
Sean ‘P Diddy’ Combs was spotted taking pictures with fans as he relaxed in Central Park just hours before he was arrested in a Manhattan hotel room.
The 54-year-old rapper was seen smiling in the park as he scrolled through his phone before posing for selfies with several fans. Diddy was pictured wearing a sleeveless black tank top and a pair of beige trousers.
The pictures of Diddy enjoying some downtime in Central Park were taken just hours before he was arrested in Manhattan following Homeland Security raids on his homes in Beverly Hills, California, and Miami, Florida, back in March.
The raids came in the wake of the sexual lawsuits filed against him, the first being the sexual lawsuit filed by his ex-girlfriend Cassandra “Cassie” Ventura. Marc Agnifilo, the attorney for Diddy, issued a statement following his arrest.

Diddy is innocent until proven guilty and his attorney has denied all wrongdoing. His attorney’s statement 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 concluded the statement: “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.” Damian Williams, United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York, revealed on X that an indictment against Diddy will be unsealed on Tuesday morning.
“USA Damian Williams: Earlier this evening, federal agents arrested Sean Combs, based on a sealed indictment filed by the SDNY. We expect to move to unseal the indictment in the morning and will have more to say at that time,” the official X account for the US Attorney SDNY said.
On March 25, federal agents executed a search warrant on Diddy’s properties in California and Florida as a part of an investigation following his sexual assault lawsuits. His Miami home on Star Island was also raided.
