Sean 'Diddy' Combs Faces Federal Charges in New York

Rapper and entrepreneur Sean 'Diddy' Combs has been charged with bribery in a New York federal court.

Combs, 53, was arrested on Tuesday and charged with offering bribes to a UCLA basketball coach in an attempt to get his son, Justin Combs, admitted to the university as a basketball recruit.

The indictment alleges that Combs offered $100,000 to the coach, who has not been named, in exchange for his help in getting Justin Combs admitted to UCLA.

Combs has pleaded not guilty to the charges.

His lawyer, Benjamin Brafman, said in a statement that Combs “intends to vigorously defend these charges and will ultimately be vindicated.”

If convicted, Combs faces up to five years in prison.

The charges against Combs are part of a larger investigation into corruption in college basketball.

In recent years, several college basketball coaches and administrators have been charged with accepting bribes from agents and shoe companies in exchange for helping their players get into college and sign with certain shoe companies.

The investigation is ongoing, and it is possible that more charges will be filed in the future.

Combs is a successful rapper, entrepreneur, and producer.

He has won three Grammy Awards and has sold over 20 million albums worldwide.

He is also the founder of the clothing line Sean John and the Ciroc vodka brand.

Combs's arrest is a major development in the college basketball corruption scandal.

It is the first time that a celebrity has been charged in connection with the investigation.

The charges against Combs are likely to further damage the reputation of college basketball and could lead to more reforms in the sport.
