Sean “Diddy” Combs’ legal troubles continue to escalate. New allegations of “forced labor” have been added to his criminal case. Despite the mounting accusations, the rapper’s legal team maintains his innocence, citing ongoing litigation.
Meanwhile, as Combs remains incarcerated, reports suggest his children are spending lavishly on luxury items and exotic vacations.
Diddy’s Criminal Case Updates with New Allegations
In May, Diddy’s federal case was updated with new accusations ahead of his criminal trial. The founder of Bad Boy Records was initially arrested on September 16. He was charged with sex trafficking, blackmail, and transportation for prostitution. He denies all of these charges.
However, on Thursday, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York filed additional claims. They accused Combs of “forced labor” and threatening his employees. According to USA Today, court documents allege that Combs and his associates “maintained control of certain employees” through “physical force.” They also used “psychological harm, financial harm, and reputational threats.”
The indictment further alleges that these measures coerced employees into a state of fear. They believed they would face severe consequences, including job loss. This would happen if they failed to comply with Combs’ demands. One former employee claimed the rapper used similar tactics to force individuals into sexual acts.
Rapper Accused of Running a ‘Criminal Enterprise’
The government’s updated indictment maintains that Combs operated a “criminal enterprise” with his collaborators. Currently held at a Brooklyn detention center, the “Finna Get Loose” rapper has been denied bail multiple times.
In January, the case expanded. It now includes two additional victims of human trafficking. These are in addition to the initial victim from the September 2024 indictment. No new charges were filed at the time. However, the indictment referenced prior allegations. These include claims that Combs dangled a woman over a balcony and engaged in extortion from 2008 to 2014.
Diddy’s Legal Team Maintains Innocence
Combs’ legal team, led by Marc Agnifilo, continues to assert his innocence. Agnifilo stated, “Mr. Combs has said it before and says it again: he vehemently denies the SDNY’s accusations. He looks forward to his day in court. It will be clear he never forced anyone into sexual acts against their will.”
He added that many former employees are prepared to testify in support of Combs. They highlight his dedication and hard work. His leadership in building award-winning businesses is also emphasized.
Diddy’s Children Reportedly Living Luxuriously
As Combs fights for his freedom, his children are reportedly indulging in high-end shopping and lavish vacations. According to the New York Post, sources claim Combs’ offspring have been spending their father’s money on exotic island trips. They have also made luxury purchases across the globe.
“They want to look like the picture-perfect family on Instagram and TikTok,” one source explained. “But that’s Diddy’s money. I doubt he gave them permission to spend it, especially with all the lawsuits he’s facing.”
Private Jet Used for Extravagant Trips
Combs’ private jet has reportedly been in constant use since his arrest. It is transporting his children to various domestic and international destinations. The jet has made stops in California, Hawaii, Texas, Florida, Mexico, Italy, India, Ireland, Canada, and St. Martin.
“Traveling like this isn’t cheap,” a source shared. “Every time they take the jet, it costs tens of thousands just for fuel.”
Combs shares seven children with four women: Quincy, Justin, Christian, Chance, twins D’Lila and Jessie, and Love Sean.
Conclusion
As Diddy’s legal battles intensify, his children’s spending habits have come under scrutiny. While his lawyers remain confident in his acquittal, the rapper’s future remains uncertain as he awaits trial.
