Diddy has has just been indicted on multiple federal charges, including some of the most severe ones out there– on Tuesday (Sept. 16, 2024) morning, after having been arrested the previous night. Federal prosecutors are coming at Diddy hard. They’re saying he’s been involved in some shady dealings that stretch back years. This ain’t just some quick run-in with the law – the feds have been investigating him for a minute, building up a case that’s now threatening to bring his empire to its knees.
A Breakdown of The Charges
On Tuesday morning, Diddy was indicted on three federal charges– racketeering conspiracy; sex trafficking by force, fraud, or coercion; and transportation to engage in prostitution.
The indictment claims that ever since 2008 to present day, people within Diddy’s enterprise allegedly participated in forced labor, obstruction of justice and bribery, interstate transportation for purposes of prostitution, arson, sex trafficking, narcotics offenses, coercion and enticement to engage in prostitution, and kidnapping.
It is also alleged in the indictment, that while the purpose of Diddy’s enterprise is to globally operate as entertainment, media, and lifestyle brands, the duties within his enterprise include maintaining Diddy’s power, and catering to his desires, including sexual desires, as well as exploiting professional sex workers and various other women who are not sex workers.
Additionally, the indictment references the ‘freak-off parties’ that Diddy’s ex, Cassie Ventura, first brought to light in her lawsuit against him earlier this year. According to the indictment the freak-off parties were “elaborate and produced sex performances that Combs arranged, directed, masturbated during, and often electronically recorded.” But there’s more…

Within the indictment, allegations that Diddy intentionally lured women into his inner circle under the guise of a romantic relationship, only to ultimately either threatened them with force, use force, and/or coerce them to participate in sex acts with professional male sex workers for his enjoyment. It’s also stated within the indictment that once the freak-off parties were wrapped, Diddy and his alleged victims usually would get IV fluids in order to recuperate and replenish their fluids from the intense physical exertion and drug use that took place during and/or before the parties.
For the kidnapping and arson allegations, the indictment only states that they occurred in California, but did not specify any further details.
Diddy was hit with drug charges that state his alleged ‘intent to distribute narcotics, including cocaine, Oxycodone, Xanax, GHB – the “date rape” drug — MDMA and ketamine.’
The items that were seized by the feds when they raided Diddy’s home in Miami and Beverly Hills, were also mentioned in the indictment. They included supplies that are alleged to have been intended for his freak-off parties, such as 1000 bottles of baby oil and lubricant; as well other unrelated items, like three AR-15 rifles with scrubbed off serial numbers.
The indictment also references the 2016 hotel surveillance footage in which Diddy was seen brutally beating his then-girlfriend Cassie. The allegations listed several acts of violence against women, including ‘striking, punching, dragging, throwing objects at and kicking them.’
And that’s not all. The Fed are also claiming that as of late 2023, after the allegations first went public, that Diddy and his associates allegedly contacted various victims to either pressure them or to bribe them to remain quiet on the matters at hand.
Prior to going into the courthouse, Diddy’s lawyer, Marc Agnifilo, said he is going to “fight like hell” to get Diddy released on bail. He also maintains that Diddy is ‘innocent’ of all charges.
Diddy will be appearing in court on Tuesday morning, to have the charges read to him by the judge.
As you all can see, Diddy’s facing an uphill battle. These charges aren’t just gonna disappear, and the road ahead is looking long and difficult for the Bad Boy Records mogul. As more details emerge, we’ll keep y’all posted.
