A surprising twist has emerged from the highly-publicized case of Sean “Diddy” Combs following his arrest.

The hip-hop mogul is considered to be a music pioneer as he helped revolutionize the genre, becoming one of the most famous people on the planet in the process. However, he’s now fighting for his freedom following an indictment on criminal sex trafficking, among other serious charges.

It’s believed that the authorities have a very strong case against Diddy, which could be true, given that one of his lawyers has suddenly quit his defense team.

According to a report from the New York Post, Anthony Ricco filed a motion to withdraw as an attorney for the disgraced rapper. He refused to reveal why but made it clear that he could not continue to serve as a lawyer for Combs any longer.

“Under no circumstances can I continue to effectively serve as counsel for Sean Combs,” he wrote in an affidavit, per the Post. “It is respectfully but regrettably requested that the court grant the relief requested.”
