Sean ‘Diddy‘ Combs’ attorney made a shocking statement about a plea bargain for his client.
The embattled rapper, 54, has no plans to take a plea bargain, according to his attorney Marc Agnifilo.
Combs insists that he is innocent and plans to fight in the trial until the end, Agnifilo told TMZ for the outlet’s new documentary on the case.
His attorney also shared that Combs strongly believes that this is a ‘racially motivated prosecution’ and that he is being targeted because he is a ‘successful Black man.’
This comes after his attorney previously told the outlet that Combs ‘can’t wait’ to testify in court.

Agnifilo, a former Manhattan Assistant District Attorney, told the outlet that Combs plans to ‘fight this case not just for himself, but for others in a similar position,’ who are also facing government persecution.
His attorney also said that Combs has his family on his mind and wants to prove to them that he is ‘the same man they’ve always known.’
Agnifolo previously said that the Bad Boy Records founder is ‘eager’ to testify.
‘I don’t know that I could keep him off the stand,’ he said. ‘I think he is very eager to tell his story. And I think he will tell every part of his story.’
He shared that Combs also wants to tell his side of the story in regards to the 2016 hotel security footage of him attacking his ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura.
‘He has his story and he has a story that I think only he can tell in the way he can tell it in real-time,’ Agnifilo told the outlet. ‘And it’s a human story. It’s a story of love. It’s a story of hurt. It’s a story of heartbreak.’
He is also expected to be questioned about his ‘freak-off’ parties.
On September 16, Combs was indicted in New York City and charged with racketeering, x trafficking and transportation to engage in prostitution.

He pleaded not guilty to all three charges and was denied bail.
The judge who will preside over his case agreed with prosecutors that he was a serious flight risk and that he posed a danger to others.
This comes after Agnifilo explained the alleged reason behind the ‘1,000 bottles’ of baby oil and lubricant authorities found in Combs’ homes in Miami and Los Angeles.
‘I don’t think it was 1,000. I think it was a lot. I mean, there is a Costco right down the street. I think Americans buy in bulk, as we know,’ he told the New York Post.
Later, Costco chimed in and slammed the allegations in a statement to TMZ, saying they do not carry baby oil in any of their U.S. retail locations.
Last week, Combs was placed on suicide watch after he was denied bail.
According to the US Department of Justice National Institute of Corrections, suicide watch is when ‘supervisory precautions [are] taken for suicidal inmates that require frequent observation.’
However, Combs is remaining positive, according to his attorney.

‘His state of mind is actually remarkably positive,’ Agnifilo said.
‘I spend several hours with him every day. His resolve is strong. He’s engaged,’ he continued.
‘He’s focused on his defense,’ he said before adding that Combs has ‘come to terms with the fact that this is where he is for now.’
Agnifilo also said that he is working on setting a trial date as soon as possible.
TMZ Studios’ new documentary, The Downfall of Diddy: The Indictment, is now available to stream on Tubi.
