Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs’ lawyers have made a bold move in his ongoing legal battle with his former business partner, suing the court for racial bias in the case.
According to reports, the rapper’s legal team is now arguing that the sex trafficking charge against their client has racist origins and are asking a judge to dismiss the case. This dramatic twist comes as Combs faces allegations of sexual assault and sex trafficking from a woman named Tiffany Callaway, who claims she was coerced into working in the adult entertainment industry.
Combs’ lawyers have filed a motion with the court asserting that the prosecution’s decision to charge their client with sex trafficking is rooted in racial bias. The legal team argues that the charges are part of a broader effort to target successful Black entrepreneurs and entertainers, rather than being based on any credible evidence of wrongdoing.
The allegations against Combs stem from an incident allegedly involving Callaway, who says she was forced into the adult entertainment industry by Combs’ former business partner, Kiefer Thompson. The case has been making headlines in recent weeks, with many calling out the hypocrisy and racial undertones involved.
In their filing, Combs’ lawyers point to a lack of evidence supporting the charges against their client and argue that the prosecution’s actions are driven by racism rather than any legitimate concern about criminal activity. They have also requested that the judge dismiss the case, citing the alleged racial bias as grounds for tossing out the charges.
It remains to be seen how this motion will play out in court, but Combs’ lawyers are confident that their client will ultimately be vindicated and cleared of all wrongdoing.
