Sean “Diddy” Combs was arrested in Manhattan, the music mogul’s lawyer told US media.

The New York Times reported that the arrest came after a grand jury indicted him, citing a person familiar with the charges who was not authorized to speak publicly.

The allegations in the indictment were not immediately clear.

Combs’ lawyer told CNN that the musician is cooperating with the investigation and has “nothing to hide.”

“We are disappointed by the decision to continue what we believe is an unjustified prosecution of Mr. Combs,” his attorney Marc Agnifilo told CNN.

Combs’ lawyer said the musician moved to New York last week in anticipation of indictment.

Combs, whose career has been plagued by sexual assault lawsuits and a federal investigation, recently sought to overturn a $100 million verdict for a Michigan prison inmate who accused the music mogul of sexual assault 27 years ago.

Combs was once one of the most successful rappers in the US, with a string of hits including the US number one singles Can’t Nobody Hold Me Down, I’ll Be Missing You and Shake Ya Tailfeather. His label Bad Boy Records featured well-known artists such as Notorious BIG and Mase, and he also enjoyed success with other ventures such as the Sean John clothing brand and the Cîroc vodka brand.

But his reputation has been damaged since the allegations, which he denies. In recent weeks, New York City Mayor Eric Adams demanded that Combs return the ceremonial key to the city that was awarded to him in September 2023. Howard University stripped Combs of an honorary doctorate, ended a scholarship program in his name and returned a $1 million donation.
