Diddy's Lawyer Says Rapper's Downfall is Due to “Racism”

Sean ‘Diddy’ Coombs’ lawyer has laid blame on “racism” for his client’s downfall as the disgraced hip hop mogul awaits trial on sex trafficking charges from a New York prison cell.

Attorney Marc Agnifilo claims the federal government specifically targeted rapper because of his race.

“[The government] is no friend historically of the successful Black man, okay, none,” Agnifilio said.

“And they start making this case, in my opinion, as a takedown of a successful Black man.”

“This is the government scrutinizing his business, scrutinizing his taxes, he does everything right,” he continued.

“What’s the last vestige, we are going to go into his bedroom because maybe we don’t like the way he is having sex.”

Diddy faces the following charges:

Racketeering

Sex trafficking

Transporting individuals for prostitution

The rapper is accused of organizing events where women were coerced into drug-fueled sexual activities in what is now known as “freak offs.”

Other allegations include kidnapping, physical abuse, bribery, and even abuse against minors.

Diddy has denied all charges.

Agnifilio said the rapper wants “to fight this case not just for himself, but for others in a similar position who are also facing government persecution.”

“I don’t know that I could keep him off the stand,” he continued.

“I think he is very eager to tell his story. And I think he will tell every part of his story.”

One thousand bottles of baby oil and lubricant were seized by Federal agents at Diddy’s home in Miami and Los Angeles earlier this year.

However, Marc Agnifilo has dismissed the claim, saying Diddy liked to purchase such items in bulk.

“I don’t think it was 1,000,” he told The New York Post.

“I think it was a lot. I mean, there is a Costco right down the street. I think Americans buy in bulk, as we know.”
