Diddy isn't done with the stage and he's already planning a huge comeback performance at Madison Square Garden after his prison release ... at least according to his lawyer.
00:00Mark Agnifolo, Diddy's lawyer who led the case and won, has broken his silence about a couple of things.
00:09I think, notably, that he said that when Diddy gets out, this is not an if, it's a when,
00:17he would like to play Madison Square Garden.
00:22One thing he said, he said he's going to be back in Madison Square Garden.
00:25He said that?
00:26He did. He said to me he's going to be back in Madison Square Garden.
00:28Doing what?
00:29I guess being on stage.
00:31I think this is not only fascinating, I think Diddy will sell out.
00:37And I really believe that.
00:39And I know a lot of people say he was found not guilty.
00:42That doesn't mean he didn't do it.
00:44The jury just found a reasonable doubt.
00:46He probably did do it.
00:48And a lot of people hate him for it.
00:50And I get that.
00:51But controversy sells.
00:55And the reality is, Diddy won this case.
00:58This is a ridiculous old law about taking a sex worker, putting him on an airplane and going across state lines.
01:08He never would have been prosecuted for that if that's the only thing.
01:12So Diddy is going to get out in a year or two.
01:16And when he does, I'm telling you, he could fill Madison Square Garden, I think.
01:22I think you're right.
01:24So we learned from Eric Colley, our music expert in the morning meeting, that Diddy wasn't at the top of his career pre all this stuff happening.
01:32He probably couldn't have filled Madison Square Garden then.
01:34I think without question, at least in the first few shows that he would do, the curiosity factor.
01:40What's he going to say about this?
01:41Remember what it was like Chris Rock after the Oscars?
01:43People want to hear what his response to that is going to be.
01:45He is, in a negative way, partially, a bigger star now than he was six months ago or a year ago.
01:52More relevant.
01:53More relevant, certainly.
01:54And so I think he would sell it.
01:56The question is, what happens a year from now?
01:58Is he still, you know, the controversy dies down?
02:00Probably not.
02:01But I totally agree.
02:02Yeah.
02:03When I interviewed Agnifilo, I asked him about the thousand bottles of baby oil.
02:08And he made a joke, well, he probably went to Costco.
02:11And he got skewered for that in the press for what he told me.
02:16And they made fun of him and they said, how dare you trivialize this?
02:19And everybody was making such a big deal.
02:22Baby oil was the headline.
02:24Yes.
02:25Baby oil was the headline when he was charged.
02:27And everybody thought, oh, this is it.
02:29Baby oil, to me, ended up being the Achilles heel of the prosecutors.
02:35Because it looked ridiculous to say, baby oil makes him a dangerous man.
02:41Well, they rated it as two homes.
02:42And all they found was baby oil and a bunch of-
02:44Agnifilo knew exactly what he was doing early on.
02:47He was playing chess when we were playing checkers.
02:49He knew he was laying the foundation for, I'm going to trivialize this case.
02:53What are they doing?
02:54It's about baby oil.
02:55It's about, you know, consenting story of sex between consenting adults.
03:01What are the feds doing investigating this man?
03:04He said, in closing argument, he said, oh, he said, he looked at the jury and he's standing right at the jury box and he's saying, oh, the streets are safer right now, right?
03:15That the feds, with all of their resources and money, with 70 Homeland Security agents, they seized a thousand bottles of baby oil.
03:25Ooh.
03:26Right.
03:27That's literally what he did before the jury.
03:28Yes.
03:29And it worked.
03:30It worked.
03:31And it worked.
03:32Going back to this Madison Square Garden thing.
03:34I mean, you know, it's a little premature, I think.
03:36No.
03:37Because, just hear me out on this.
03:39I just think that he hasn't been sentenced yet.
03:42And the judge has already indicated that I'm not letting Diddy out on bail.
03:48He's a violent guy.
03:49He might give him five, ten years.
03:51He's not going to give him five years.
03:52I don't know.
03:53The sentencing guidelines are two to three.
03:56I could see him getting one or two years.
03:57He's a first time offender.
03:58Yeah.
03:59One or two years.
04:00Yeah.
04:01But you don't consider that.
04:02You consider it for bail.
04:04You can't consider it for sentencing.
04:05He's going to get some time.
04:06A year or two.
04:07He's going to get a year or two.
04:08He keeps citing the violence.
04:10Continue.
04:11No, no.
04:12For bail.
04:13For bail.
04:14I just wonder in his mind if he's like, you know what?
04:17Let's say he gets three years.
04:19He still comes out.
04:20He still fills up Madison Square Garden.
04:22Well, remember.
04:23Yeah.
04:24He's served almost a year.
04:25Yeah.
04:26That's right.
04:27And you only have to do 85 percent.
04:28That's true.
04:29That's right.
04:30So, he's going to be out in a year or so.
04:31Yeah.
04:32He's going to be out in a year or so.
04:33So, let me get this straight.
04:34Diddy's attorney says he's planning to perform at Madison Square Garden once he's out.
04:37Like, he's been on vacation instead of convicted.
04:40And what's he going to open with?
04:41Bad boy for life?
04:42Please.
04:43It's not a comeback.
04:44It's a slap in the face.
04:45The audacity is louder than the music.
04:47But you've got to concede this.
04:49And again, I'm not in any way supporting what Diddy did because what he did just in the Cassie tape is horrendous.
04:56But he won the case.
04:58I thought there was a guilty conviction.
05:00On crimes that have nothing to do with violence.
05:05Crimes that they never would have prosecuted on if it was standalone.
05:09He was acquitted on the three main charges that they wanted him on.
