The arrest comes amid a wave of lawsuits filed against the music mogul alleging sexual assault.
Sean Combs, known as Diddy, was arrested on Monday, according to a person with knowledge of the investigation.
Diddy's attorney, Marc Agnifilo, issued a statement saying, "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."
