Diddy is making major moves behind the scenes of his legal battle… and his next big play could involve one of the most talked-about attorneys in hip-hop law right now. Sources reveal the music mogul is aiming to bring in Brian Steel, the high-profile Georgia lawyer known for defending Young Thug in the explosive YSL RICO trial.
TMZ reports that Steel has officially filed documents seeking approval to practice in the Southern District of New York, where Diddy’s case is currently underway. If granted, he would join Diddy’s existing defense team, which includes prominent trial lawyers Marc Agnifilo and Teny Geragos.
What’s especially intriguing about this legal shakeup is that Diddy had previously been on the lookout for a Black female attorney to round out his defense lineup. But it seems Steel has emerged as the top pick, signaling a strategic shift in Diddy’s legal game plan.
With federal pressure mounting and a high-profile trial looming, Diddy appears to be assembling a dream team to fight back… and Brian Steel’s courtroom record could give him the edge he’s looking for.
