Diddy is attempting to dismiss a charge in the superseding indictment filed against him on the basis that the law itself is “racist” – and now the feds have responded, saying that’s absolutely not the case.
According to documents filed Tuesday (March 4) and obtained by HipHopDX, the government referred to the mogul’s claim as “outrageous and illogical,” emphasizing that “race played no role whatsoever in the decision to seek the charges contained in the Indictment, which instead stemmed from the defendant’s decades of criminal conduct.”
The docs concluded: “Because the defendant offers nothing more than conjecture to suggest otherwise, the Motion should be denied.” HipHopDX reached out to Diddy’s legal team for comment, but did not hear back immediately.
Diddy’s motion, filed on February 18, focuses on the charge of transportation to engage in prostitution, one of three counts in the indictment along with sex trafficking and racketeering.
It claims that there has never been a similar prosecution under the Mann Act and no white person has ever been targeted with the law, which has been in place for over 100 years and was designed to prohibit the transportation of women for sex.
The filing claims that Diddy is the victim of racism from the government, saying: “Mr. Combs has been singled out because he is a powerful Black man, and he is being prosecuted for conduct that regularly goes unpunished.”
It adds: “What was racist in its inception has often been racist in its operation.”
The filing also reiterates the defense’s argument that all sexual activity involving Diddy and others was consensual: “The government has concocted a criminal case based primarily on allegations that Mr. Combs and two of his longtime girlfriends sometimes brought a third party — a male escort — into their sexual relationship.”
It also repeats the accusation that federal prosecutors have been leaking information about the case to the media: “The government’s handling of this case demonstrates bias and animus. It has gone out of its way to humiliate Mr. Combs and to prejudice the jury pool with pretrial publicity that plays on racist tropes. It has leaked damaging (and often times false) material to the press.”
The government previously rejected claims that they were discriminating against the Bad Boy boss based on his race.
During a pre-trial hearing last October, a prosecutor called similar accusations made by Diddy’s legal team “baseless” and claimed that they posed a “serious risk” to the conduction of a fair trial.
Puffy, who has been in jail since his arrest last September, has denied all allegations against him and has repeatedly claimed that all instances of sexual activity were consensual.
His trial is currently scheduled to begin on May 5. If convicted, he faces up to life in prison.

Diddy was getting away with it for a very long time. We’ve been talking about his depravity for decades. It was another open secret, and truth is, the only reason he’s going down now is because he crossed someone bigger than himself. You aren’t wrong at all though, but your list can be much longer lol. Let me add John Legend, Chrissy Teigan, John Podesta, Seth Green, Ellen Degeneres, Oprah.
@Johnny While I agree with quite a few of the names mentioned. A lot these are also just throwing names out hoping something sticks. Especially when n you throw out the term “Zionist.” Kind of seems like you have an agenda. While Diddy may claim something he doesn’t like is racist. Your post is more actual evidence of that. By no means am I fan of some the people you listed. You would have to actually make solid claims against all of those people. Where as (like the person who replied to you and added some legit people of concern) said that what Diddy was doing was an open secret. It was a joke for years. The joke just happened to have kernels of truth and helped to get him caught up.
