Diddy Loses Attorney Amid Sex Crime Allegations; Trial Date Remains

Sean 'Diddy' Combs' legal team is facing turbulence as attorney Anthony Ricco seeks to withdraw from representing the music mogul in his ongoing sex crime case. Ricco cited ABA Standards for Criminal Justice as the reason for his departure, stating he can no longer effectively serve as counsel. Despite this setback, the trial date remains unchanged. Diddy still has five attorneys, including Marc Agnifilo, who revealed Diddy's intention to testify. This development comes as Diddy also battles a $100 million defamation lawsuit against NBCUniversal over a documentary portraying him negatively. He faces serious charges including sex trafficking and racketeering conspiracy, to which he has pleaded not guilty.
