Diddy’s legal defense squad is getting a spicy remix — and this time, he’s looking to add the legal MVP of Atlanta to his playlist. Yes, we’re talking about none other than Brian “I Got Young Thug Out Here Fighting the RICO Like a Champ” Steel.
According to legal docs hot off the fax machine (okay fine, email, but fax sounds cooler), Brian Steel is trying to snag a golden ticket — aka permission to practice law in the Southern District of New York — so he can swoop in and help Diddy dodge legal doom.
If the name sounds familiar, that’s because Brian’s the courtroom gladiator currently defending Young Thug in the YSL RICO case, which is basically the legal version of a Netflix drama with too many plot twists.
Now here’s the twist: rumor had it Diddy’s camp was on the lookout for a Black female attorney to bring some much-needed melanin and elegance to his mostly vanilla legal team. But instead of a queen in heels, they went with Brian — who may not rock stilettos, but he does stomp into court with that “I object” energy.
Also joining this legal Avengers squad is Mark Geragos — a name so high-powered it probably needs its own theme music. He’s set to take on a major role, while Marc Agnifilo and Teny Geragos (yes, legal power couple vibes) will continue to lead the courtroom charge.
Meanwhile, Anthony Ricco dipped out of Diddy’s defense crew back in February. No hard feelings — maybe he just didn’t want to share snacks in the break room.
Now, Brian is trying to slide into the defense team like it’s the final rose ceremony on The Bachelor. But time’s tighter than Diddy’s security — jury selection kicks off May 5, and opening statements are just a week later… unless the legal team’s Hail Mary request to push things back two weeks actually works.
Diddy’s trial is coming in hot, the defense squad is getting a revamp, and Brian Steel may just be the courtroom closer Diddy needs to turn this legal beat around.
Stay tuned — because this trial is shaping up to be wilder than a Bad Boy reunion tour.
