Music mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs, who has faced a parade of sexual assault lawsuits and a federal human trafficking probe in the last year, has been arrested, the producer’s attorney tells CNN.
Combs – who has been in New York City since last week – was arrested Monday at the Park Hyatt Hotel on 57th Street in Manhattan and taken into custody by Homeland Security Investigations at approximately 8:15 p.m., a source familiar with the negotiations tells CNN.
The arrest was made based on an indictment which is expected to be unsealed Tuesday morning, according to a statement from Damian Williams, US attorney for the Southern District of New York.
The charges and details of the case against Combs are unclear at this time.
Combs’ attorney said that the musician has been cooperating with the investigation that led to the indictment and “voluntarily relocated to New York last week in anticipation of these charges.” His team maintains his innocence, and says he has “nothing to hide.”
