Just over a month ago, Sean “Diddy” Combs was found guilty on two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution and acquitted on sex-trafficking and racketeering charges. Even before the verdict was announced, Rolling Stone reported that Combs’s associates were working to “lay groundwork” for a presidential pardon from Donald Trump. And now, it seems his plan is really taking shape — his lead attorney, Marc Agnifilo, has told CBS that his client “said to me he’s going to be back at Madison Square Garden.”
In his first interview since the trial, Agnifilo shared a message from Combs. “He wants people to know that he has reflected on the blessings that he’s been given, on the imperfections that I think he sees in himself. I think he wants to get out of jail, reestablish a loving, present relationship with all of his seven children. He wants to take care of his mother.”
“Does he want to get back into music, does he want to get back into business?” Agnifilo asked rhetorically, as if he was talking about a reclusive buddy and not a man currently facing over 50 civil lawsuits accusing him of sexual assault and physical violence. “I think he’s someone who’s always going to strive to do something, you know, exceptional and probably demanding and challenging. But I think the most demanding and challenging thing in front of him right now is to get back with his kids and get back with his mother, and the people who love him and miss him.”
When asked what Combs would be doing at Madison Square Garden, Agnifilo responded, “I guess, being onstage. And I said, ‘I’ll be there.’” That makes one of us.
