UPDATE (April 4):

Diddy’s legal team has released the following statement to XXL regarding the new superseding indictment.

“These are not new accusers, these are the same individuals, former long-term girlfriends, involved in consensual relationships,” the statement reads. “This was their private sex life.”

ORIGINAL STORY (April 4):

Diddy has been hit with more charges in a new superseding indictment filed yesterday, just weeks ahead of his sex crimes trial.

Diddy Charged in Third Superseding Indictment

On Thursday (April 3), prosecutors filed their third superseding indictment in Diddy’s federal sex crimes case. The embattled music mogul has been charged with an additional count of sex trafficking and one additional count of transportation to engage in prostitution relating to “Victim-2,” according to the filing obtained by XXL on Friday (April 4). He now faces five charges in total.

Prosecutors Keep Adding to Diddy Indictment

The Bad Boy Entertainment founder was originally charged with one count of racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking and transportation to engage in prostitution when he was arrested on Sept. 16, 2024. Since then, the government has added more crimes to the case. In January, two more unnamed victims were added to the indictment. Last month, a second superseding indictment was filed charging Diddy with forced labor and making employees engage in sex acts.

As Puff’s trial looms, his legal team is pulling out all the stops. They have recently filed multiple motions questioning evidence concerning the case. Diddy has pleaded not guilty. His trial date is scheduled for May 12.

XXL has reached out to Diddy’s team for comment.

In addition to his criminal case, Diddy is also facing dozens of civil lawsuits. He recently got a victory in one of the cases, which was dismissed last month.
