USA Damian Williams: Earlier this evening, federal agents arrested Sean Combs, based on a sealed indictment filed by the SDNY. We expect to move to unseal the indictment in the morning and will have more to say at that time.
Mr Combs, formerly known as Puff Daddy and P Diddy, was recognised as one of the most influential figures in hip-hop; however, in November, his former girlfriend, the R&B singer Cassie, whose legal name is Casandra Ventura, filed a lawsuit claiming that he had beaten and raped her for years.The suit was settled in one day but months later CNN aired hotel security footage of Mr Combs punching and kicking Cassie and throwing her on a floor.
Over the past year, Mr Combs has been sued by people who allege he subjected them to physical or sexual abuse.Following the indictment on Tuesday, Mr Combs' lawyer, Mr Agnifilo, said his client's"spirits are good" and that he was"confident".
