Sean 'Diddy' Combs Wants Madison Square Garden Return, Attorney Says

Sean 'Diddy' Combs Wants Madison Square Garden Return, Attorney Says

Yahooa day ago
Sean 'Diddy' Combs has opened up about his post-release agenda as he awaits sentencing on federal charges. According to his lead attorney, Marc Agnifilo, the Mt. Vernon native has specified plans for when he is free from behind bars. Speaking with CBS News' Jericka Duncan, Agnifilo explained the mindset of his client.
'He wants people to know that he has reflected on the blessings that he's been given, on the imperfections that he sees in himself,' shared Agnifilo. Combs was convicted of transporting women across state lines for the purpose of prostitution and acquitted of racketeering and sex trafficking charges.
'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 in the music? Does he want to get back in the business? 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 Duncan asked if the Bad Boy Records founder made plans for an entertainment comeback, Agnifilo replied, 'Honestly, he has not,' before adding that, while plans are not in place, Puff would love to hit the stage at MSG.
'He said to me he's going to be back at Madison Square Garden,' exclaimed Agnifilo of Combs' future goals. 'I guess being on stage.'
Elsewhere in the interview, Agnifilo discussed a rumored pardon said to be pending from President Donald Trump. Earlier this week, attorney Nicole Westmoreland, another member of Combs' legal team, claimed that POTUS had been contacted regarding Combs' conviction.
'It's my understanding that we've reached out and had conversations in reference to a pardon,' Westmoreland revealed.
Trump himself has reportedly confessed, 'I didn't know him well. But when I ran for office, he was very hostile,' and added that the dynamic would make the pardon 'more difficult to do.' It had been previously reported that Trump had seriously considered making the would-be controversial move.
'I have nothing to do with a possible pardon,' Agnifilo shared with CBS News.
'I have had conversations with nobody,' Agnifilo continued. 'I have not spoken to the president. I have not spoken to anybody who speaks to the president about Sean Combs. I have not.'
According to Agnifilo, his discussions with Combs regarding a pardon relate to the news, with the 55-year-old exclaiming, 'Go tell him I deserve a pardon.'
The Grammy winner is scheduled to be sentenced on Oct. 3, 2025. Combs remains in custody after his legal team's failed attempts to have him released on bail.
'As for risk of flight or danger, Combs fails to meet his burden by clear and convincing evidence,' detailed Judge Arun Subramanian in his ruling. 'Increasing the amount of the bond or devising additional conditions doesn't change the calculus given the circumstances and heavy burden of proof that Combs bears.'
Combs is faced with a maximum sentence of 20 years, 10 years for each count.

What's Something From The '90s That People Are Nostalgic About, But It Wasn't Really That Great?

I was barely alive in the '90s, but my generation loves to romanticize that decade. However, I'm sure it wasn't all Blockbuster and Dunkaroos. There are definitely some things that are way better in people's memories than they actually were IRL. For example, a lot of people reminisce about waiting all day by the radio for their favorite song to play so they can record it on a cassette. TBH, that sounds more frustrating than fun. And downloading music from LimeWire was basically Russian roulette with a computer virus. And a Tamagotchi seems like choosing to do that high school project where you take care of a fake baby for fun! So, in your opinion, what's something about the '90s that people are super nostalgic about, but it wasn't actually that great? Why?

Flight diverted after skateboard-waving drunk passenger yelled racial slurs, police say

A Los Angeles-bound flight was diverted to Colorado after a drunk passenger started yelling racist slurs while waving around a skateboard, police said. Breeze Airlines flight MX704 — flying from Norfolk, Virginia to Los Angeles — landed in Grand Junction Airport in Colorado around 11.15 a.m. Wednesday after an intoxicated male passenger 'became agitated, yelling racist slurs at airline staff while waving a skateboard,' Grand Junction Police said. Airline staff put the passenger in restraints twice but he was able to break free both times. He didn't physically assault anyone and no injuries were reported, police said. When the flight touched down, police were called to assist with an 'unruly passenger,' authorities said. The man was then taken into custody at the direction of the FBI and transported to the Mesa County Detention Facility. David Leroy Carter Jr., 46, of Los Angeles, was arrested, the FBI told The Independent. It's not immediately clear what charges he may face. The U.S. Attorney's Office for Colorado would announce the charges at an appropriate time, the agency said. The investigation into the incident is ongoing, according to police. The Independent has asked the FBI and the U.S. Attorney's Office for more information. 'The plane was met promptly by local law enforcement officers, who restrained and removed the passenger from the aircraft,' Breeze Airways said in a statement. The flight was delayed in Grand Junction while a new crew was brought in to fly the remaining passengers to LAX, the airline said. The passengers arrived at their final destination around 7.15 p.m. local time. This year, there have been reports of more than 1,000 unruly passengers, according to data from the Federal Aviation Administration. That figure marks a dramatic drop from 2021, when the FAA received a whopping 5,973 reports of unruly passengers.
