Diddy is fighting back against allegations of trafficking, claiming that his sole accuser attempted to extort him for $30 million. His lawyer, Marc Agnifilo, detailed these claims in a letter to the judge on September 18, following Combs’ denial of $50 million bail. Combs was arrested on charges of trafficking, racketeering, and transportation to engage in body work. Prosecutors called him a flight risk and expressed concerns about potential witness tampering, leading to his bail denial twice. Agnifilo argued that there was only one victim named in the indictment, a woman who had a ten-year romantic relationship with Combs.

According to insiders, the tape, allegedly filmed during Combs and Lopez’s relationship from 1999 to 2001, has been a source of turmoil in Lopez’s romantic life. Sources claim that the existence of this tape not only contributed to the breakdown of Lopez’s marriage to Cris Judd in 2002 but also played a role in her recent split from Ben Affleck.
According to an insider, Judd was infuriated when rumors of the tape spread through the entertainment industry, prompting a confrontation where he accused Lopez of still being in love with Diddy. This argument reportedly contributed to the collapse of their marriage, alongside tensions over her relationship with Affleck, whom she met while filming Gigli in 2001. Adding to the drama, record producer Suge Knight speculated that the FBI may have recovered the alleged tape, along with other compromising videos, during a raid on Diddy’s Los Angeles and Miami homes in March. Knight claimed that the FBI provided Affleck with the footage, which ultimately caused irreparable damage to his marriage with Lopez.
He suggested that Affleck could no longer “look at Lopez the same way” after seeing the tapes. Knight further alleged that the FBI discovered footage from a 1999 nightclub shooting incident involving Diddy and Lopez, in which rapper Shyne was implicated. He suggested that Lopez lied about the details, leading to Shyne’s imprisonment while protecting Diddy. Lopez officially filed for divorce from Affleck on August 20, listing their separation date as April 26.
