This is the second Diddy‘s entire life has changed… TMZ has the first video of federal agents making his surprise arrest in a New York hotel lobby — likely his last moment of freedom for at least the next decade.
The video clearly shows Diddy, dressed in a black trench coat, entering the Park Hyatt New York resort in midtown Manhattan along with his entourage of several men — but the second he steps into the lobby, police swoop in, stopping the mogul and separating him from his friends.
You can tell by the response from Diddy’s workforce… they’re not sure what’s going on, pacing the resort lobby in shock that the rapper was taken away. More on that later.
A day later, Diddy reappears on camera, but now with his arms cuffed behind his back as the feds escort him down the hallway and into an elevator.
Then they lead you through the lobby and out the resort’s front door, in full view of New York pedestrians on the sidewalk.
As for Diddy’s shocked friends in the foyer… well, they weren’t alone in that feeling. Diddy himself was also completely shocked.
Keep in mind he came to New York in anticipation of indictment… and we all know he was planning to drop out on Tuesday – however, instead the feds showed up on Monday night to make this arrest.
Video recorded just moments before the arrest reveals how enjoyable the rapper’s time in New York was — interacting with several excited followers he encountered on the streets.
From Diddy was charged with conspiracy to commit extortion, sex trafficking for power, fraud or coercion, and transportation to engage in prostitution.

He was bail denied this week, with the judge in his enchantment saying that prosecutors proved that “the defendant is a danger.” Because of this, Diddy is in lockdown at the infamous MDC Brooklyn …a detention center in New York City with great popularity.
As acknowledged earlier this week, Diddy’s lawyer Marco Agnifiloreiterated how disappointed Diddy is with “the choice to pursue what we believe to be an unfair prosecution of Mr. Combs by the U.S. Attorney’s Office.”
Agnifilo says Diddy is a music icon and entrepreneur who has spent 30 years building his empire and working to support a family and uplift the black community, and insists his client is not a criminal.
He notes that Diddy has been very cooperative with the investigation… and asks that people hold off on the trial until they see all the information.
