extinguished don’t let Sean “Diddy” CombsLegal battles affect his opinion of The Police’s ‘Every Breath You Take’.

The 73-year-old musician (real name Gordon Matthew Thomas Sumner) said Los Angeles Times in an interview published Monday, Nov. 11, that the recent allegations against the embattled music mogul have no impact on his opinion of the song. Diddy, 55, sampled the song on his 1997 track “I’ll Be Missing You”, which also appeared Faith Evans and the R&B group 112.

“No. I mean, I don’t know what happened (to Diddy),” Sting told the press. “But to me it doesn’t tarnish the song at all. It’s still my song.”

The 17-time Grammy winner’s comments come amid a slew of allegations against Diddy, who was arrested and charged with sex trafficking and racketeering in September. He has remained behind bars at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn since then and has been denied bail several times.

Diddy’s latest legal troubles began in November 2023, when ex cassia accused him of sexual assault and rape in a $40 million bombshell lawsuit. He denied her claims and the case was solved out of court a day after it was filed.

Following the case, several people filed their own sexual assault lawsuits against the rapper, which eventually led to Homeland Security raiding Diddy’s homes in Miami and Los Angeles in connection with a sex-trafficking investigation.

Diddy’s 14-page indictment was unsealed a day after his Sept. 16 arrest in New York City. Court documents accuse Diddy of hosting parties known as “Freak Offs,” which he is said to have taped. He also allegedly “distributed a variety of controlled substances to victims” as a control tactic.

Diddy and his lawyers vehemently denied it multiple charges against him. The rapper has pleaded not guilty to sex trafficking and racketeering charges.

“He’s an imperfect person, but he’s not a criminal,” his lawyer said. Mark Agnifilo said We weekly in a statement at the time. “To his credit, Mr. Combs has been uncooperative with this investigation and voluntarily moved to New York last week pending these charges. Please reserve judgment until you have all the facts. These are the papers of an innocent man who has nothing to hide and looks forward to clearing his name in court.”

Since his arrest, however, Diddy has continued to struggle more charges during his time behind bars.

Decades before he was indicted on sex-trafficking and racketeering charges, Sean “Diddy” Combs predicted he would be in trouble with the law. “They’ll probably arrest me, do all kinds of crazy things just because we want to have a good time,” Diddy, now 54, told Entertainment Tonight in 1999. “Whenever (…)
