Diddy has spoken out for the first time since he was detained and moved to a jailhouse to address 'false rumors'.

The hip-hop mogul, whose real name is Sean Combs, is currently awaiting trial having been indicted by a grand jury after he was arrested at the Park Hyatt hotel in Manhattan, New York, on September 16.

He has been charged with racketeering and sex trafficking by force, fraud or coercion - charges of which he has pleaded not guilty.

Although his attorney Marc Agnifilo remains adamant that the decision to arrest and charge Combs is 'unjust', telling UNILAD his client is 'not a criminal' and 'looks forward to clearing his name in court'.

But following nine days in jail, the rapper has finally spoken out to address rumors made about him in his ex's memoir.

In November 2018, Kim Porter - who shared three children with Diddy - died just days after complaining of having 'flu-like symptoms'.

But before she died, it is believed that she wrote a 60-page memoir titled Kim’s Lost Words: A Journey for Justice, from the Other Side, which was released on Amazon earlier this month before Combs' arrest - and is understood to have made allegations about the rapper's physical abuse.

Speaking through his attorney Erica Wolf, the following statement was released: “The Kim Porter ‘memoir’ is fake. It is also offensive – a shameless attempt to profit from tragedy.

“Unlike the fabrications in his sickening ‘memoir’, it is an established fact that Ms Porter died of natural causes. May she rest in peace.”

Meanwhile his three kids Christian, Jessie and D’Lila Combs, alongside Quincy Brown - Kim Porter's four children, released a statement about the claims that their mom wrote a memoir and brandished them as 'simply untrue'.

It read in part: "She did not, and anyone claiming to have a manuscript is misrepresenting themselves.

"Additionally, please understand that any so-called 'friend' speaking on behalf of our mom or her family is not a friend, nor do they have her best interests at heart."

It went on to explain that the cause of death of their mom 'has long been established', stating that 'there was no foul play' before asking for 'peace' as they 'continue to cope with her loss every day'.

Adding: "Our mother should be remembered for the beautiful, strong, kind, and loving woman she was. Her memory should not be tainted by horrific conspiracy theories."
