50 Cent dragged Diddy’s lawyer, Marc Agnifilo, after court closed Friday, predicting a 20-year sentence.
50 Cent wasted no time unloading on Diddy’s legal team after a chaotic final day in court, mocking defense attorney Marc Agnifilo and forecasting a lengthy prison term for the Hip-Hop mogul.
“Damn they did Diddy dirty them closing statements man, I could have done better then that. How much he pay them lawyers?” 50 Cent asked.
The rapper, who has turned his Instagram into a running commentary on the six-week federal trial, took aim at Agnifilo’s performance following his three-hour closing argument on Friday (June 27).
“She didn’t have the worst lawyer; you are the worst lawyer. Remember the name Marc Agnifilo. He just got Diddy ass 20 years,” 50 Cent posted.
Agnifilo’s remarks in court raised eyebrows, with the defense attempting to downplay the federal government’s case by mocking the government’s evidence.
“Way to go, fellas,” Agnifilo said. “They took Astroglide and baby oil and that is the evidence in this case.”
He also described Combs and Cassie Ventura as a “great modern love story” and called Ventura a “gangster” despite video evidence showing Combs physically assaulting her at the Intercontinental Hotel in Los Angeles. Prosecutors allege Combs paid hotel staff $100,000 in cash to bury the footage.
Agnifilo also told jurors that even those suing Diddy “loved him.”
At one point, U.S. District Judge Subramanian reprimanded Agnifilo for making “grossly improper” comments about the government’s motives in bringing the case.
Lead prosecutor Maureen Comey attempted to dismantle the defense’s claims, calling them “lies” and “excuse after excuse” for Diddy’s “inexcusable behavior.”
Diddy faces five federal charges, including racketeering conspiracy, two counts of sex trafficking, and two counts of transporting individuals for prostitution.
If convicted on the most serious charges, he could face life in prison. He has pleaded not guilty. Jury deliberations are expected to begin Monday, June 30.
