One of the lawyers for Sean “Diddy” Combs in his sex trafficking case wants to quit the hip-hop mogul’s defence team.

Defence lawyer Anthony Ricco filed notice on Thursday in a Manhattan court that he no longer wants to represent Combs, writing “under no circumstances can I continue to effectively serve as counsel”.
