Diddy faces serious charges; lawyer says he’s getting help as he remains in custody.
Sean “Diddy” Combs, a famous music star, got arrested on Monday, September 16. He is facing very serious charges, including sex trafficking, racketeering, and forcing people to do things they didn’t want to do.
Diddy, who is 54 years old, was taken into custody and is not allowed to go free until his trial. His lawyer, Marc Agnifilo, said that Diddy is getting help for some personal problems.
The lawyer did not say exactly what Diddy is getting help for, but he did say that everyone makes mistakes and getting help is a good thing.
The charges against Diddy are quite severe. He is accused of making people take part in sex shows and using drugs to control them. Prosecutors say that these events were sometimes filmed without the people knowing.

During police raids at Diddy’s homes in Los Angeles and Miami, they found over 1,000 bottles of baby oil, which were apparently used in these sex shows.
Diddy is also accused of hurting people. The prosecutors say that he has been abusive for years, including hitting, dragging, and throwing things at others. Some of these incidents were seen by other people.
On Tuesday, September 17, Diddy went to court and said he was not guilty of these charges. He will stay in jail until his trial because the court decided not to let him out on bail.
He will go back to court on Wednesday, September 18, to try to change the decision about his bail. Another court meeting is planned for Tuesday, September 24.
This case is getting a lot of attention because Diddy is a well-known celebrity, and the accusations against him are very serious.
