Sean "Diddy" Combs faces new federal charges of forced labor and assault, adding to his existing legal troubles that include racketeering, sex trafficking, kidnapping, and assault charges.

The Southern District of New York's latest indictment alleges Combs coerced employees into working excessive hours through physical force, financial threats, and psychological manipulation. Prosecutors claim he created a toxic work environment where employees feared job loss or retaliation for non-compliance.

Attorney Marc Agnifilo maintains Combs' innocence, stating former employees will testify to positive experiences building his businesses. However, Combs remains in custody after multiple denied bond requests, awaiting his May 5 trial.

The investigation expanded following Cassie Ventura's November 2023 lawsuit alleging years of abuse, which Combs quickly settled. This sparked numerous additional accusations spanning decades, with prosecutors describing his business empire as a criminal enterprise engaging in illegal activities.

As the trial approaches, prosecutors continue gathering evidence and potential witnesses. If convicted, Combs faces decades in prison, while his entertainment empire's future remains uncertain. The case represents a significant challenge to both his freedom and legacy in the music industry.
