Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs’s predicament is getting worse by the day.

A lawyer for the disgraced rap mogul, who is facing charges for sex trafficking, has said he can no longer continue as his legal representation.

Defense attorney Anthony Ricco has withdrawn as one of Diddy’s six defense attorneys, saying “under no circumstances” could he continue in the role.

“Although I have provided Sean Combs with the high level of legal representation expected by the court, under no circumstances can I continue to effectively serve as counsel for Sean Combs,” Ricco said in a statement to the court.

“There are sufficient reasons (related to the protections afforded by the attorney/client privilege) for brevity in my application for withdrawal as counsel in this case,” he continued.

He added that his decision would not delay Combs’ case and the trial will go ahead as scheduled.

Combs is facing charges of racketeering, sex trafficking, and transporting individuals for prostitution.

In the Justice Department’s indictment, he is accused of organizing events where women were coerced into drug-fueled sexual activities.

Other allegations include kidnapping, physical abuse, and bribery, as well as abuse against minors.

Just this week, Combs sued NBC Universal over a documentary accusing him of being a serial murderer who had sex with underage girls.

“The entire premise of the Documentary assumes that Mr. Combs has committed numerous heinous crimes, including serial murder, rape of minors, and sex trafficking of minors, and attempts to crudely psychologize him,” his complaint claims.

“It maliciously and baselessly jumps to the conclusion that Mr. Combs is a ‘monster’ and ‘an embodiment of Lucifer’ with ‘a lot of similarities” to Jeffrey Epstein.’”

Combs has denied all charges against him and has pledged to prove his innocence.

He is currently being held at Brooklyn’s Metropolitan Detention Center and will go on trial in May.

If convicted on all charges, he is likely to spend the rest of his life in prison.
