Diddy’s lawyer has said that his client ‘can’t wait’ to take the stand in court and share his version of events.
The rapper is currently being held at Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, New York, after being arrested in the city on September 16.
Diddy has since been slapped with multiple charges – including sex trafficking and racketeering – and with the nature of the allegations he’s facing in mind, he’s being held without bond until his trial.
Some of the crimes the ‘I’ll Be Missing You’ hitmaker is accused of including sex trafficking and ‘verbal, emotional, physical and sexual’ abuse.
While most criminal defendants don’t take the stand during their trial, apparently Diddy is keen to tell his side of things.
“I don’t know that I could keep him off the stand,” his lawyer Marc Agnifilo told TMZ. “I think he is very eager to tell his story.”
As it stands, no date for the rapper’s trial has been set.
Elsewhere in a teaser clip for TMZ’s new documentary, The Downfall of Diddy, Agnifilo says that the US government put the case together ‘as a takedown of a successful Black man’.
Agnifilio’s comments come after shocking photos of one of the rapper’s dinner parties in Miami has resurfaced in the wake of his arrest.
In the photo dating back to 2004, a naked woman is seen lying on a table surrounded by fruit and candles. The party in question was reportedly hosted by MAC, Hennessy, and Microsoft.
Famous faces to have attended the soirée included Will Smith, Owen Wilson and Charlie Sheen.
Diddy has hosted dozens of parties over the course of his music career, some which prosecutors have said were called ‘Freak Offs’.
In a resurfaced interview with Conan O’Brien, the rapper explained how he throws a good party.
He listed ‘beautiful women’, ‘beautiful men for the ladies’, numerous types of alcohol, but also water as apparently ‘a lot of ladies drink water at parties’ as necessities.
“If you don’t have what they need then they gon’ leave,” he added.
Diddy went on: “You got to keep’ em there. You need locks on the doors.”
He went on to say that his events were ‘a little kinky’ and he would make sure there was no air conditioning.
“Heat affects the alcohol,” Diddy claimed. “It also affects, like, everyone gets a little bit more comfortable and loose. [It] builds up a nice little sweat.”
O’Brien went on to label the idea as ‘disgusting’.
