Today should be interesting.

Bombshell reports yesterday revealed that Sean "Diddy" Combs had been arrested by federal agents with Homeland Security Investigations. Obviously, this is all in connection with a broad spectrum of allegations, as well as the multiple home raids earlier this year. The rap mogul and entrepreneur was taken to an FBI office in Manhattan and this morning his indictment should be unsealed when he arrives in court. That is according to ABC News (via MSN), as United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York Damian Williams said in a statement. It reads, "Earlier this evening, federal agents arrested Sean Combs, based on a sealed indictment filed by the SDNY".

Williams continues, "We expect to move to unseal the indictment in the morning and will have more to say at that time". Since his arrest, Diddy's attorney, Marc Agnifilo, has reacted quite strongly, as you could imagine. "We are disappointed with the decision to pursue what we believe is an unjust prosecution of Mr. Combs by the U.S. Attorney’s Office... He is an imperfect person but is not criminal". You could also say that the internet has been responding to this news in a similar fashion in some cases.

Diddy's Indictment Has People Cracking Jokes, Skeptical, & Etc.

As you can see above and below, some are extremely excited to see what they feel has been a long time coming. Of course, it wouldn't be normal if there weren't trolls cracking jokes online too. However, there is also quite a large crowd that's pretty skeptical about this entire indictment. Some believe that other huge celebrities could also be in serious trouble. They feel that Diddy is going to drag others down with him to do what whatever he can to get the lightest sentence possible. Finally, there's an even a camp out there that thinks this was a cover up to get people to stop talking about the second Donald Trump assassination attempt. Overall, the rest of today should be one of shock and intrigue.
