After Combs was arrested on Sept. 16 in New York City following recent sex trafficking and sexual assault lawsuits, fans began speculating that multiple celebrities — including Pink — subsequently deleted their X (formerly Twitter) posts in connection to his charges. The "Raise Your Glass" singer posted to Instagram on Sept. 26 to clear up the rumors, sharing a screenshot of a Feb. 6 post on her X page announcing its deletion. "This account will self destruct in two minutes," she wrote at the time. "Do it!!!!!!"

The next day, the indictment was unsealed, revealing the Bad Boy Records founder was charged with sex trafficking, racketeering and transportation to engage in prostitution. Prosecutors have accused Combs of arranging so-called “freak offs,” which authorities allege were orchestrated sex performances involving male sex workers and women who were allegedly forced or coerced into participating.

"We are disappointed with the decision to pursue what we believe is an unjust prosecution of Mr. Combs by the U.S. Attorney’s Office," Agnifilo said. "Sean 'Diddy' Combs is a music icon, self-made entrepreneur, loving family man, and proven philanthropist who has spent the last 30 years building an empire, adoring his children, and working to uplift the Black community. He is an imperfect person but he is not a criminal." Close
