Diddy’s Lawyer Delivers An Update On His Client’s State Of Mind

September 29, 2024 by newhiphopnews

It’s no secret that Diddy has a long road ahead of him, as he’s currently facing several charges related to alleged sex trafficking and racketeering. The Bad Boy founder was arrested earlier this month in New York City and remains in custody at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn. Reportedly, he could be hit with a lengthy prison sentence if he’s convicted. According to his lawyer Marc Agnifilo, however, he hasn’t let that shake his confidence.

During his appearance in TMZ‘s new documentary, The Downfall of Diddy: The Indictment, Agnifilo gave an update on how his client is doing following his arrest. “His state of mind is actually remarkably positive,” he explained. “His resolve is strong, he’s engaged, he’s focused on his defense… He’s come to terms with the fact that this is where he is for now.”

Marc Agnifilo Says Diddy Is Staying “Remarkably Positive” Amid Legal Battle

Agnifilo continued, speculating that concentrating on his defense is giving Diddy the strength he needs to carry him through this difficult time. While the mogul appears to be doing well despite the circumstances, his legal issues are still mounting. Late last week, for example, he was hit with his twelfth lawsuit in the past 11 months. An anonymous woman accuses him of sexually assaulting, drugging, and threatening her. She additionally alleges that she was impregnated by Diddy.

In this latest lawsuit, Diddy’s alleged victim also accuses Yung Miami of trying to harass and pressure her into getting an abortion. In the end, she alleges that she had a miscarriage. “Jane Doe informed defendant Combs of the positive test. Caresha Brownlee, defendant Combs’ associate, harassed Jane Doe by repeatedly calling her and telling Jane Doe to have an abortion. Jane Doe suffered a miscarriage and did not speak to defendant Combs or his team for approximately three months,” the suit reads. What do you think of Diddy’s lawyer claiming that he’s been able to stay positive despite his current circumstances?

Taye Diggs Admits Diddy Was A “Hero” To Him Before Disturbing Allegations

September 28, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Earlier this month, Diddy was arrested in New York City after facing several disturbing allegations and lawsuits this year. The Bad Boy Records founder was hit with various charges, which he could reportedly face up to life in prison for if found guilty. His arrest didn’t necessarily come as a huge shock to most, considering he’s been under intense scrutiny for his past for a while.

It was still a significant development in the mogul’s case, however, and took some people by surprise. During his recent appearance on the Sibling Revelry podcast, for example, Taye Diggs opened up about Diddy’s influence on him and how he felt when he heard about his arrest. According to him, he was taken completely off guard.

“I felt so naive when I heard all that stuff because I was… I don’t know where I was, but all of it blindsided me,” he explained. “He was a hero to me. I loved how he… he didn’t come from much, he started out as a dancer. All the things that I wasn’t, growing up, he was. He had so much confidence and a certain arrogance that I loved and he made being Black cool.” Diggs continued, describing how he was disappointed upon hearing the news.

“I really put him on a pedestal and it was disappointing to see some of what happened. I couldn’t believe it,” he said. “And I didn’t like that feeling.” What do you think of Taye Diggs speaking on Diddy’s ongoing legal battle during a recent appearance on the Sibling Revelry podcast? What about him claiming that Diddy was once a “hero” to him? Are you surprised by this or not? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

Diddy’s Attorney Reveals Whether Or Not He’ll Take A Plea Deal

September 28, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Now that federal officials have arrested Diddy – and after the court denied his bond twice – many wonder how the actual trial will develop. Some, like Katt Williams, think that he will snitch on many of his colleagues to catch a break, but there isn’t anything indicating that. Others are more inclined to believe that Sean Combs and his legal team will fight tooth and nail in court to advocate for his innocence, especially given their statements as of late. Well, thanks to the new TMZ documentary on Tubi, The Downfall Of Diddy: The Indictment, we have an idea of what his legal strategy is when it comes to cooperation.

During the documentary, TMZ Studios spoke to Diddy’s lawyer, Marc Agnifilo. He said that the Bad Boy mogul will not take a plea deal in his case on charges of sex trafficking, racketeering conspiracy, and transportation to engage in prostitution. Agnifilo also remarked that he will fight this case in court not just for his individual situation, but for others who face similar obstacles. As for why the legal team will not accept a plea deal even if prosecutors offer it, he cited his client’s supposed innocence as the reason why they see no need for it.

In addition, Marc Agnifilo said that Diddy wants to inspire other people that federal officials are prosecuting and lead them to fight back against their perceived persecution. He also posited that the New York businessman is thinking of his family a lot, and wants to prove his alleged innocence and his sense of self to them. He wants to prove he’s still the same man they love deep down. These comments come after Agnifilo characterized the federal indictment against his client as a racially motivated attack against a successful Black man.

Meanwhile, an alleged sex worker’s supposed testimony in front of a federal grand jury could result in new charges and problems for Diddy. However, we still have yet to see what this could result in. Many open questions remain ahead of the trial, which doesn’t have a set timeline at press time. But a plea deal doesn’t look like a likely possibility.

Diddy Is Not Refusing Prison Meals Due To Poisoning Concerns, Source Alleges

September 26, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Earlier this month, Diddy was arrested in New York City and has remained at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn ever since. He’s been hit with various sex trafficking and racketeering charges and could face a minimum of 15 years behind bars if convicted, or a maximum of life. This week, it was also reported that the mogul’s time behind bars may not be going so well.

A former federal inmate told News Nation that Diddy was allegedly worried about being poisoned, and was avoiding meals because of it. “He’s really, really paranoid,” he alleged. “He’s really, really scared. Doesn’t know what to think, he doesn’t know who to trust or what to believe.”

A source close to Diddy recently chatted with TMZ, however, telling the outlet that there’s no truth to these allegations. According to them, he’s eating normally in prison, just like the other inmates. They also claim that he’s not receiving special treatment. This appears to be good news for the Bad Boy Records founder, who has a long legal battle ahead of him. While participating in TMZ‘s upcoming documentary The Downfall Of Diddy: The Indictment, his attorney Marc Agnifilo told the outlet he’s planning to testify once his federal case goes to trial.

“He has his story,” Agnifilo told the outlet. “And he has a story that I think only he can tell in the way that he can tell it, in real time. And it’s a human story, it’s a story of love, it’s a story of hurt, it’s a story of heartbreak.” What do you think of a source alleging that Diddy is eating like any other inmate in prison? What about outlets previously alleging that he was avoiding meals out of fear of being poisoned? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

Orlando Brown Receives Apologies From Fans For His Old Comments Following Diddy Arrest

September 23, 2024 by newhiphopnews

The recent arrest of Diddy on federal charges of sex trafficking, racketeering conspiracy, and transportation to engage in prostitution led fans to discuss every past and present detail. One interpretation from all this is how folks are now looking back at previous allegations, stories, and claims about the Bad Boy mogul and wondering whether or not folks just missed the signs back then or if they are really just salacious gossip. As such, many fans are demanding apologies for Orlando Brown. He previously made some wild remarks about the businessman that, at the time, people didn’t believe for a second.

“[I] got to say no to Diddy,” Orlando Brown said when asked about Sean Combs in an old interview clip that recently resurfaced. “If there’s new booty in the building, you know he’s going to get it. You can take the b***h, but he wants you.” “This is real, just as real as what Orlando Brown was saying,” one fan commented on a social media post featuring this. “Only difference is ppl played with Orlandos credibility due to his drug use and theatrics but I don’t think his drug usage would prevent him w/ spreading those truths. Articulation is key element. Truth is there though.”

“You know Diddy, one of my best friends?” Orlando Brown previously said of the disgraced executive in a contradictory statement. “So when you want to be a Kappa and you get hazed, didn’t you want to be a Kappa? […] We’re gonna haze you and haze you and haze you until you are a f***ing Kappa. That’s what happened. People sold their souls to Diddy, and then they’re mad now because the hazing process was a little bit rougher than they thought.”

“Why would they not have sex when they’re gay rappers?” Orlando Brown claimed to No Jumper concerning Diddy and Meek Mill. “We all know he’s gay. Rick Ross knows he’s gay. He paid me $2,000 to say that right? You only paid me $2,000. Everybody knows I got respect for Diddy. I love Diddy. Everybody tried to come at Diddy. Why I’m gonna make it harder for my man? Yo, I love my man [Diddy].” With all this in mind, it looks like an apology to Brown would only be for one of the many conflicting and bizarre statements he’s made about Puff.

Ice Cube Lets It Be Known That He’s Never Been To A Diddy Party

September 23, 2024 by newhiphopnews

“I believe he’s being targeted. I believe someone has the power to pull the trigger to make this stuff, this domino effect, happen… he was cool up until a point, and this stuff started happening… “somebody… said ‘Yo, he’s our new guy we’re on this year,’ or whatever”. These are all the words of Ice Cube just this past July from an interview with Patrick Bet-David on the PBD Podcast“. These speculative quotes are all in relation to Diddy and all of the allegations during that time.

Overall, Ice Cube seemed to be slightly sympathetic for the Bad Boy Records founder. Now, though, those feelings look to be long gone, as the West Coast icon is making sure everyone knows he’s got no affiliation. This switch-up does sort of makes sense because Cube did say the industry is the “wild west” in that same interview. It all happened at a recent performance at the Yaamava’ Theater in Highland, CA, according to Yahoo! Entertainment, with Cube letting the crowd know he’s never been to an infamous Diddy party.

Ice Cube Doesn’t Want To Be Affiliated With Diddy

“Almost 40 years of rocking the mic, and I’mma tell you right now; me and WC ain’t never been to a Diddy party motherf***er… You ain’t gotta worry about us on them motherf***ing tapes”, Cube shouted out to a happy and relieved crowd. You can even hear on audience member hilariously say, “thank God”. After making that clear, Cube then had the perfect transition into “Check Yo Self”. “Anybody in here that have… I got one thing to say to yo a**. If you’ve ever been to one of those parties… Boy or Girl, you better check yourself before you wreck yourself”. This declaration is timely, as Diddy is currently under arrest for sex trafficking and racketeering.

What are your thoughts on Ice Cube making it clear that he was never at any of Diddy’s parties? What do you think made him say this at his recent show? Are you buying his statement, why or why not? We would like to hear what you have to say, so leave your thoughts in the comments. Additionally, always keep it locked in with HNHH for all of the latest news surrounding Ice Cube and Diddy.

Katt Williams Believes Diddy Will “Snitch On Everybody”

September 22, 2024 by newhiphopnews

The Diddy scandal continues to captivate much of pop culture for harrowing and disturbing reasons, although a lot of folks are making light of the whole alleged matter. One of these is Katt Williams, who fans called a “prophet” earlier this year when his remarks on the Bad Boy mogul’s various accusations seemed to manifest every week through new allegations. Now, Katt’s back with a bold claim: “Diddy about to snitch on everybody,” he captioned a recent Instagram Story post. It included a clip of New Jack City in which Nino Brown accuses Kareem Akbar of ring-leading his crimes, but with Diddy and Jay-Z’s faces imposed onto the actors.

Many other reactions to Diddy’s federal arrest and indictment made similar claims and theories, but at the end of the day, we won’t know until we see a trial. On that note, this might take a while considering his many other legal issues as of late, most of which he’s trying to sweep under the rug while focusing on this larger case. For example, Sean Combs recently filed a motion to dismiss one of various sexual assault lawsuits against him due to its expired statute of limitations.

Katt Williams Predicts Diddy’s Court Strategy

Meanwhile, other celebrities like LL COOL J and Flavor Flav are still reacting to the Diddy case. “I feel for his children. The rest I can’t speak on, that’s what we’ve got a court system for. But I feel for his kids,” LL expressed at a Black Music Action Coalition gala. “You know what, I’ma tell you, when anybody asks me my opinion on Diddy, you know what my opinion is? I have none. I ain’t got no answers for a Diddy question. None,” Flav added.

As for Katt Williams’ previous comments about Diddy on Shannon Sharpe’s Club Shay Shay podcast, he made it clear that he always kept his distance and rejected his offers to “party.” Of course, it’s important to note that the difference between a regular gathering and a “freak-off” is very distinct. Nevertheless, all of these reactions and snitching claims probably won’t amount to much until we have a verdict.

Diddy Creepily Describes His Alleged “Freak Offs” In Resurfaced Interview Clip

September 21, 2024 by newhiphopnews

With every passing day since Diddy’s arrest on September 16, we continue to learn increasingly more disturbing information. From alleged text messages from some of his victims, to the supposed items that were taken during the home raids, every new chunk of evidence seems to dig a deeper hole for the embattled mogul. People on the internet are even finding potentially incriminating quotes and clips. What we are trying to say is that there is so much working against the Bad Boy boss right now and it could all lead to a life in solitary confinement. One of those things are the alleged “Freak Off” parties that Diddy threw.

These are one of the most damning allegations for many reasons but hearing him talk about them all but confirms that they were real. An X (formerly Twitter) user by the name of TaraBull, unearthed a 2002 interview clip with former late night show host Conan O’Brien. Below you can hear Diddy describe the essential things that he has at these alleged “Freak Offs”. “We need alcohol… alcohols”, he begins. Conan then recaps with a quick summary before his guest can go on, “You need the ladies, you need the booze”. Diddy then continues, “You need some water… a lot of ladies drink water at parties so if you don’t have what they need then they gon’ leave… gotta keep ’em there”.

Not A Good Look For Diddy Right Now

In 2002 Sean “P. Diddy” Combs explained to Conan O’Brien his “Freakouts” – Including seducing women with liquor – Making sure bedroom doors on them were always locked while restricting air conditioning in their rooms while claiming “It depends on the way you look at it”

Then, things get increasingly more spine-tingling, and not in a good way. “You need locks on the doors”, he adds as the then oblivious audience laughs. However, to Conan’s credit he did question the requirement of locks. “It is sounding kind of dangerous now”. But Diddy downplays it as “a little kinky”. Then, he goes on, “Check it out, you need a lot of heat… you don’t have no air conditioning… Heat affects the alcohol, it also makes everybody get a little more comfortable and loose. It builds up a nice little sweat”. Conan then checks him again, pointing out that it sounds “disgusting”. But once again, Diddy petrifyingly looks at it as not a big deal at all. “Depends on the way you look at it”, he says as the people burst into laughter again. Overall, the clip is just one minute, but it feels like an hour based on the content of it.

What are your thoughts on this clip of Diddy appearing to explain his “Freak Offs”? How disturbing is this given his current situation? Do you think any of these old videos could be used as evidence against him in court? We would like to hear what you have to say, so leave your thoughts in the comments. Additionally, always keep it locked in with HNHH for all of the latest news surrounding Diddy. Finally, stay with us for everything else going on in the music world.

Diddy Is Worried About His Kids Following His Arrest, Source Alleges

September 20, 2024 by newhiphopnews

It’s no secret that Diddy’s in a tough spot right now. Earlier this week, the Bad Boy Records founder was arrested in New York City following months of damning allegations and lawsuits. He’s since been hit with multiple charges and could face a maximum of life in prison if convicted. Today, it was reported that the mogul has been placed on suicide watch, though his lawyer Marc Agnifilo insists that it’s simply part of the facility’s protocol.

In fact, Agnifilo described Diddy as “strong, healthy, confident and focused on his defense” today. Now, however, sources who recently spoke with TMZ have revealed what his main concern is. According to them, it’s his seven kids, Quincy, Justin, King, Chance, D’Lila, Jessie, and Love. He’s reportedly desperate for an opportunity to speak to them amid the difficult circumstances, which haven’t been easy for anyone involved.

The source also adds that Diddy’s loved ones are leaning on each other and their faith at this time. For now, it remains unclear when he could have an opportunity to finally talk to his children. He’s reportedly on a strict schedule at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn. Earlier this week, his request for pre-trial release was also denied for a second time.

“The government has proven the defendant is a danger,” U.S. District Judge Andrew Carter said of the ruling. “The bail package is insufficient even on risk of flight.” What do you think of Diddy allegedly being desperate to speak to his children amid his legal battle?

Diddy’s Radio Airtime Takes Major Hit Amid Federal Investigation

September 20, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Earlier this week, Diddy was arrested in New York City. Of course, the arrest didn’t exactly come out of the blue, as the mogul has faced countless damning allegations and lawsuits in recent months. He’s been hit with multiple charges and could face a maximum of life in prison if convicted. According to TMZ, however, his freedom isn’t the only thing that’s taken a major hit.

Sources connected to Audacy recently told the outlet that most of their stations stopped playing Diddy’s music earlier this year. This was shortly after the security footage of Diddy assaulting Cassie at a hotel in 2016 surfaced online. Now, the sources say that since his arrest, they’ve stopped playing his music entirely.

Many Radio Stations Stopped Playing Diddy’s Music Once Cassie Assault Footage Was Released, TMZ Reports

An iHeartRadio spokesperson also spoke with the outlet and explained that each station in their national syndication is different. While some stopped playing Diddy’s songs several months ago, others only stopped once the aforementioned footage of Cassie’s assault went public. A rep for 93.5 KDAY said they stopped playing Diddy’s music too, but failed to specify exactly why. Currently, Diddy is being held at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn. His request for pre-trial release on bail was denied for a second time earlier this week, as the judge labeled him a potential flight risk.

“The government has proven the defendant is a danger,” U.S. District Judge Andrew Carter said. “The bail package is insufficient even on risk of flight.” His lawyer has since confirmed that he’s been placed on suicide watch per the facility’s protocol, but claims the mogul is “strong, healthy, confident and focused on his defense.” What do you think of Diddy getting less radio play following his arrest?
