It goes without saying that Diddy is in the midst of what's sure to be a long and difficult legal battle. The Bad Boy founder was arrested last year on charges related to alleged sex trafficking and racketeering. He's awaiting trial at the MDC in Brooklyn, and if convicted, he could be hit with a hefty sentence. Needless to say, the stakes are high, and his legal team has been hard at work preparing for what's to come.

Earlier this week, however, one member of his legal team decided to call it quits. In a motion filed Friday (February 21), attorney Anthony Ricco asked to be dismissed from the case. "Under no circumstances can I continue to effectively serve as counsel for Sean Combs," his written statement says. "It is respectfully but regrettably requested that the court grant the relief requested." Ricco did not specify why he was asking to be dismissed from the case in his filing.
