Sean “Diddy” Combs and his legal team are pushing back against a new superseding indictment filed by prosecutors, dismissing the latest charges as “flawed” and calling the government’s efforts an attempt to paint a distorted picture.

Attorney Marc Agnifilo, who represents the music mogul, did not hold back in his criticism, rebuking the allegations and questioning the credibility of the prosecution’s case in increasingly heated legal proceedings.

“The latest indictment contains no new offenses,” Agnifilo said in a pointed statement. “The prosecution’s theory remains flawed. The government has added the ridiculous theory that two of Mr. Combs’ former girlfriends were not girlfriends at all but were prostitutes. Mr. Combs is as committed as ever to fighting these charges and winning at trial.”

Diddy, currently held at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn since his arrest in September, faces a mountain of serious allegations, including racketeering, sex trafficking, and transportation for prostitution.

Prosecutors have described him as the alleged leader of a sprawling operation that they claim used his influence in the music world to exploit women and facilitate illegal activities.

His defense team, however, said that the charges are not only baseless but rely on a warped reading of his personal and professional life.

The new legal filing, which prosecutors tout as a significant update, appears to hinge on a reclassification of two women from Diddy’s past—described previously as his romantic partners—into alleged victims of sex trafficking.

His attorneys slammed prosecutors and said this represents a desperate bid to strengthen a case that has struggled to gain traction.

The legal battle has been filled with procedural disputes.

Diddy’s lawyers say they have faced restricted access to critical evidence, including electronic records essential for the defense’s preparation.

The constraints of Diddy’s detention at MDC, a facility often criticized for deplorable conditions, have further complicated the defense team’s ability to mount their case.

Despite the latest legal hurdles for the embattled rap mogul, Diddy maintains his innocence.

His trial is currently slated for May 2025.

Sean “Diddy” Combs has hit another legal roadblock in his high-stakes battle over the so-called “Freak Off” tapes.

A federal judge has denied his request to obtain copies of the explicit videos, siding with prosecutors who argued that handing over the footage could pose risks to the privacy and safety of his alleged victims—one of whom is thought to be his ex-girlfriend, Cassie Ventura.

In a ruling issued by U.S. District Judge Arun Subramanian, the court rejected Combs’ attempt to modify a protective order restricting the defense’s access to the footage.

“Defendant’s motion to amend the protective order is DENIED without prejudice,” the judge wrote, making it clear that the court is unwilling to grant Diddy complete control over the controversial evidence.

The government has working hard to block Diddy’s push for electronic copies.

They claimed they were worried the disgraced rap mogul or someone connected to the case would get a hold of the videos and make duplicates which could further intimidate his alleged victims.

But prosecutors did offer several alternatives and allowed his legal team to view the footage under supervision.

According to the ruling, the defense has not fully explored these options and must negotiate with prosecutors before returning to court with further requests.

“To the extent these options are insufficient, the defense may propose other options to the Government,” the judge stated. “It doesn’t appear that the defense did this before raising the issue with the Court.”

The ruling marks another setback for Combs, who remains locked up at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn as he awaits trial on sex trafficking and racketeering charges.

The defense, meanwhile, insists that full access is necessary to challenge the government’s claims.

Judge Subramanian made it clear that Combs’ legal team will have to make a stronger case if they want to revisit the issue.

“If that happens, they should be prepared to clearly articulate why they need possession of the videos despite the options furnished by the Government,” he wrote.

For now, the tapes remain out of Diddy’s reach, leaving prosecutors in control of how—and under what conditions—the footage can be reviewed.

Diddy is set to go to trial this May 2025.
