"Why is everybody mad at Puff?" - Tokyo Toni claims Diddy was set up, believes his victims 'shouldn't have been there' in the first place

Model, TV personality, rapper, and socialite Blac Chyna’s mother, Tokyo Toni, recently got candid about Sean “Diddy” Combs’ ongoing legal troubles and claimed he was “set up” and demanded his freedom.

“We know what’s happening. The real ones. Yeah. Free Puffy. Get them on out of here. Why is everybody mad at Puff? Every celebrity in the world, in the United States point a finger to the man that they know been did this 5, 10, 15 years ago. What a set up,” Tokyo Toni went on record.

The 52-year-old further went on to add that for some reason people are still unable to “snatch” Diddy and any girl who reportedly got r*ped “shouldn’t have been there.” Tokyo Toni, whose real name is Shalana Jones Hunter, also expressed doubt about the alleged victims of Diddy and asked, “So, nobody saw him leaning? You ain’t voluntarily walked. They just grabbed you and snatched you and threw you in the back?”

She wrapped up by saying how the exact “same” thing happened in the case of R. Kelly, the former record producer and convicted felon who was sentenced to over 30 years in prison for federal racketeering and s*x trafficking charges in 2019.

Diddy is expected to testify at his upcoming trial

Sean Combs was arrested by federal agents from the Park Hyatt Hotel in New York City on September 16 following a grand jury indictment. Currently, he is facing three felony charges, including racketeering conspiracy, s*x trafficking by force, fraud, or coercion, and transportation to engage in prostitution.

Diddy was arraigned at the Manhattan Federal Court on September 17, where he was denied bail twice, despite pleading “not guilty.” He is now being held at Brooklyn’s Metropolitan Detention Center, without bond, under a “procedural” suicide watch, until his trial. If convicted, he is looking at 15 years to life in federal prison.

In the wake of this, his attorney Marc Agnifilo told TMZ as part of the ongoing documentary The Downfall of Diddy: The Indictment that the Bad Boy Records mogul is expected to testify in the upcoming trial.

"I don't know that I could keep him off the stand. I think he is very eager to tell his story,” Agnifilo stated.

The criminal defense lawyer also mentioned how it was unlikely for the Love Album rapper to take a plea deal, adding that his client “believes he’s innocent.”

"It's not up to me. It's up to Mr. Combs and I don't see it happening… He believes that he needs to stand up not just for himself (but) his family and for everybody who's been targeted by the federal government,” Marc mentioned.

He further explained how Diddy “feels an obligation” to his loved ones and wanted to “break the model” and “show the world that a Black man can win in federal court.”

Marc Agnifilo also shared how Diddy planned to take the stand and “tell every part of his story” with respect to the viral 2016 hotel surveillance video featuring him and his former girlfriend and R&B singer Casandra “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. And it's a human story. It's a story of love, it's a story of hurt, it's a story of heartbreak," the lawyer added.

Meanwhile, Sean Combs has been slammed with two more lawsuits following his arrest and indictment. The first came on September 24 and was filed in New York by a woman named Thalia Graves. She has accused Diddy and his then bodyguard and head of security, Joseph Sherman, of spiking her drink and r*ping her in 2001, when she was 25 years old.

Likewise, on September 27, a woman whose identity hasn’t been disclosed and is being referred to as Jane Doe sued Combs for reportedly drugging and s*xually assaulting her on multiple occasions, further alleging that one of those resulted in pregnancy. She is currently seeking damages of an undisclosed amount.

Diddy’s legal team is planning to contest his bail denials at the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit. He is slated to appear before a federal court on October 9.
