Diddy continues to dominate the news cycle after shocking reports of his arrest on Monday night (September 16).

Formally slammed with charges of racketeering, conspiracy, sex trafficking by force, fraud, coercion, and transportation to engage in prostitution, the detainment came as the result of an extensive federal investigation and will see the condemned businessman (born Sean Combs) remain in custody until the date of his trial.

And while he maintains his innocence and plead not guilty to the accusations, that hasn’t stopped many of his most vocal critics from singing the praises of the justice system for finally placing the embattled mogul behind bars.

Among those making headlines are his former proteges – Danity Kane stars Dawn Richard and Aubrey O’Day.
