Prosecutors Drop Multiple Charges in Diddy Case, Peeps React: “Diddy Moon Walking out of Court”

• The United States Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York announced it would no longer be pursuing a number of charges against Diddy
• In a letter shared on social media, the United States Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York confirmed the decision with the judge in the Diddy court case
• Netizens took the development as a sign that Diddy would be acquitted, while others urged calm and caution

In a surprise move, United States prosecutors have dropped a number of charges against hip hop mogul Sean Combs, popularly known as Diddy. This comes after prosecutors rested their racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking arguments in the ongoing trial against the popular musician and businessman on Tuesday 24 June 2025.

Combs pleaded not guilty to five counts of racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking and transporting male escorts for his freakoffs. His lawyers argued that the women were willing participants who became jealous when he focused his attention on others.

Prosecutors drop several charges against Diddy

Now, Diddy has less charges to worry about after the United States Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York (SDNY) indicated that it was dropping some of his charges. On Wednesday 25 June 2025, hip-hop and entertainment commentator DJ Akademiks shared a copy of the letter from the SDNY informing Judge Arun Subramanian of their decision to drop some of Diddy’s charges. The post was captioned:

“Prosecutors have dropped k*dnapping, arson and s*x tr*fficking charges against Diddy”

Part of the letter reads:

“Specifically, the Government has removed instructions from the charge relating to (i) attempted kidnapping under both California and New York law, (ii) attempted arson under California law, and (iii) aiding and abetting sex trafficking. The Government is no longer planning to proceed on these theories of liability at instructions are no longer necessary.”

In short, prosecutors said they were no longer going to argue attempted kidnapping, attempted arson and aiding and abetting sex trafficking as liability for Sean “Diddy” Combs’ racketeering conspiracy charge.

Diddy and Tyler Perry had plans before his arrest

Meanwhile, it turns out that Diddy had plans with a man who came under scrutiny in June 2025 after an employee made charges similar to the Bad Boy Records founder's.

Briefly News reported that Diddy and Tyler Perry had business plans which were ruined when, Diddy was arrested.

The duo, along with media mogul Byron Allen, had united and planned to grow their business portfolio with a bold acquisition.
