Diddy to Get Done after Club Punch-Up?
UPDATE: Diddy's lawyer Benjamin Brafman issued the following statement to TMZ. "What is being reported in the media is inaccurate. Mr. Combs is not going to be arrested today. We are hopeful that this matter will be resolved without the filing of any criminal charges as this was a disagreement among acquaintances, not a criminal assault."
Diddy could be turning himself in to authorities today after an alleged weekend fracas at a New York club -- but TMZ caught the former Puffy and his supposed combatant out at the same club last night!
The New York Daily News reports that the rapper-mogul is expected at Manhattan's First Precinct today, and the New York Post says he could be charged with third-degree assault. Last night, at Butter, Diddy and Steven Acevedo, who reportedly dated the same woman, were both inside, and no fisticuffs broke out.
There are conflicting reports as to whether a member of Diddy's entourage showed a gun and threatened to use it. Neither guy's lawyer had any comment.
