Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs Claims Federal Charge Was Racially Motivated: ‘No White Person Has Ever Been the Target of a Remotely Similar Prosecution’


Legal reps for Sean 'Diddy' Combs claim that one of three federal charges against him was racially motivated.

“Many couples, including wealthy high-profile couples, involve third parties in their sexual relationships, sometimes for implicit or explicit remuneration,” reads the filing, which points out that successful white men like former New York Governor Eliot Spitzer engaged in similar activity but were not charged under the same law. “This prosecution is yet another instance where [the Mann Act] has been invidiously deployed against a prominent black man,” concludes the memorandum. In Sept. 2024, he was charged with racketeering conspiracy; sex trafficking by force, fraud or coercion; and transportation to engage in prostitution.
