The Hip Hop mogul is currently facing new allegations of forced labour and misconduct. Specifically, apparently Combs would force employees to work long hours and would threaten them if they did not comply. Diddy is also being accused of forcing one employee to engage in sexual acts with him. However, Combs’s lawyers have denied all of these claims.

“He looks forward to his day in court when it will become clear that he has never forced anyone to engage in sexual acts against their will,” said his lawyer Marc Agnifilo.

Diddy Court Date

When he appeared in court, Combs had a noticeable change in appearance. For instance, his beard and hair were overgrown, and he also now had grey hairs in both of these areas. The rapper wore a khaki-colored two-piece jail uniform and smiled at his family when he saw them seated in the courtroom. Diddy reportedly kept a calm demeanor, and he even greeted the judge with a simple “Good afternoon.”

Diddy Jail

As outlined in the BBC, Combs is currently facing dozens of separate allegations relating to sexual assault. The rapper was also arrested last year for a sex trafficking incident. However, his lawyers continue to deny this accusation, who have stated that these are “clear attempts to garner publicity.”

The in-person jury selection for this case will begin on May 5th, with the aim being to question 300 potential jurors each day before a jury is chosen.
