US rapper Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs arrested in New York.

American rapper Sean Love Combs, better known as Diddy, was on Monday evening, September 16, arrested at a hotel following a sealed indictment in New York City.

The U.S. Attorney in a statement said the business mogul was arrested based on a sealed indictment filed by the Southern District of New York.

“We expect to move to unseal the indictment in the morning and will have more to say at that time,” the statement reads.

It would be recalled that Combs was facing a federal investigation into allegations that include sex trafficking, all of which he has denied.
