US federal agents has conducted a search at Diddy’s jail cell, seizing some of his materials, including privileged documents and personal writing notes intended for his legal team.

Recall that US rapper, Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs arrested in New York by federal agents.
The arrest followed a grand jury indictment, with Combs’ lawyer, Marc Agnifilo, expressing disappointment and criticism towards the US Attorney’s Office for pursuing what he considers an unjust prosecution.
Agnifilo highlighted Sean Combs’ voluntary cooperation with the investigation and his decision to travel to New York in anticipation of the charges.
In a statement, Agnifilo described Combs as a respected figure in the music industry and a devoted philanthropist, emphasizing his client’s innocence.
Agnifilo stated that Combs looks forward to clearing his name in court, maintaining that his actions demonstrate those of an innocent individual.
“We are disappointed with the decision to pursue what we believe is an unjust prosecution of Combs by the U.S. Attorney’s Office.
“Sean Combs is a music icon, a loving family man, self-made entrepreneur and proven philanthropist who has spent the last 30 years building an empire 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 cooperative with this investigation and he voluntarily relocated to New York a week ago in anticipation of these charges.
“These are the acts of an innocent man and he looks forward to clearing his name in court,” he said.
