As his trial approaches, Diddy is seeking to bolster his legal team with the addition of attorney Brian Steel, known for his successful representation of rapper Thugger. Diddy faces charges of sex trafficking and racketeering, with jury selection set for May 5. The rap mogul is also reportedly considering hiring a Black female attorney to further strengthen his defense. Despite previous overtures to A$AP Rocky’s lawyer, Joe Tacopina, Diddy is now focused on working with Brian Steel for his upcoming trial.
