Sean ‘Diddy' Combs Aiming To Headline Madison Square Garden For Comeback Concert
Lawyer Marc Agnifilo said that the singer has his sights set on the stadium as part of his rehabilitation and reconnection with fans.
Sean 'Diddy' Combs is aiming to headline Madison Square Garden for a return concert after being convicted and jailed on federal charges. The rapper, 55, is currently languishing in jail awaiting his sentencing in October after his recent trial, and his lawyer Marc Agnifilo has now told CBS Mornings that the I'll Be Missing You vocalist has his sights set on the stadium as part of his rehabilitation and reconnection with fans.
Mr Agnifilo told anchor Jericka Duncan: 'He's going to be back at Madison Square Garden – and I said I'll be there." The attorney added Combs wants to 'get back with his mother, and the people who love him and miss him." Mr Agnifilo continued: 'I think he wants to get out of jail, reestablish a loving, present relationship with all of his seven children."
He also characterised Combs as someone who 'always going to strive to do something… exceptional and probably demanding and challenging." Combs was convicted on 2 July in New York federal court on two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution, though he was acquitted of racketeering and sex trafficking charges.
He faces up to 20 years in prison and remains in federal custody at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, with sentencing scheduled for 3 October 2025. Judge Arun Subramanian denied bail – for the fifth time – citing Combs as a flight risk and danger to the community.
As speculation mounts over a possible presidential pardon for the rapper, another member of Combs's legal team, Nicole Westmoreland, has said: 'It's my understanding that we've reached out and had conversations in reference to a pardon." She added: 'Combs is a very hopeful person, and I believe that he remains hopeful."
U.S. President Donald Trump, who once had a cordial relationship with Combs, has said a pardon is more likely a 'no" given past disputes. He described Combs as 'essentially… half‑innocent," but warned their changed relationship makes clemency difficult. Combs has been incarcerated since his arrest in September 2024, with defence motions for release – including a $50 million bond and strict travel restrictions – consistently rejected in court.

Woman held in Delhi for smuggling 12.55 kg cannabis from West Bengal via train
New Delhi, Aug 11 (PTI) A 38-year-old woman was arrested in Delhi for allegedly transporting more than 12 kilogram of cannabis concealed in trolley bag from West Bengal via train, police said on Monday. According to police, she was supplying the contraband as part of an interstate drug supply network. The accused, Archana Manna, from Kolkata, was arrested at Ashram Flyover while travelling in an autorickshaw with her daughter and two grandchildren, they said. Preliminary investigation revealed that Manna, moved to Delhi in 2014 and has been working as a domestic help. Her husband died two decades ago. She was allegedly lured into drug trafficking by acquaintances in Govind Puri, who offered her Rs 10,000 for each delivery. Police said she was trained by the network in using encrypted apps and deleting call logs to avoid detection. Videos found on her phone showed her discussing the quality of ganja during purchase, they added. They said that 12.55 kilogram of ganja, packed in 12 polythene packets and concealed in a trolley bag, was seized from her possession. The contraband was confirmed to be ganja by a Forensic Science Laboratory (FSL) team at the spot, they said. Deputy Commissioner of Police (Crime) Harsh Indora said the operation followed specific intelligence received on June 16 about a woman transporting cannabis from Odisha and West Bengal to Delhi by train. Police were deployed at Kashmere Gate railway station to monitor the suspect. The accused managed to slip out of the station amid the rush but was later traced to an autorickshaw heading towards Govind Puri. She was intercepted at Ashram Flyover and the narcotics were seized after due legal procedures under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act (NDPS) Act. The accused has been booked under the NDPS Act and further investigation into the supply chain, believed to operate across Odisha, West Bengal, and Delhi, is continuing.
