2:22 PM PT — Diddy‘s legal team tells TMZ … “These are not new allegations or new accusers. These are the same individuals, former long-term girlfriends, who were involved in consensual relationships. This was their private sex life, defined by consent, not coercion.”

Diddy is facing new criminal charges in his federal case in New York … because federal prosecutors just hit him with their third superseding indictment.

According to new legal docs, obtained by TMZ, the feds are tacking on two additional charges … one for sex trafficking by force, fraud or coercion and another for transportation to engage in prostitution.

The feds say the new charges stem from allegations against Diddy from 2021 to 2024 and relate to an individual the feds simply refer to as “Victim-2.”

Diddy’s legal team has previously described the alleged victims in the case as former girlfriends … and they’ve already essentially referred to Victim-1 as being Cassie.

With the new indictment, Diddy is now facing 5 criminal charges … two counts of sex trafficking, two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution and one count of racketeering.

Diddy pleaded not guilty to the feds’ previous indictments and his trial is scheduled to start May 5.

2:02 PM PT — Law enforcement sources tell us Dylan and Paul got into a fight at work, where they observed surveillance footage of Dylan slapping Paul two times.

The warrant for his arrest was then issued and police located Dylan and arrested him.

Dylan John, the reggae rapper whose ego was even too big for Diddy on the 2nd iteration of his infamous “Making The Band” series, was arrested this week for allegedly not keeping his hands to himself when cops say he smacked another man’s face!!!

According to the report, Dylan willfully struck a man named Paul Joseph Galullo by smacking him across the face with an open-hand slap — at least twice!!!

Officers responded to the scene and arrested Dylan and charged him with simple assault, a misdemeanor.

Dylan posted $500 bond and was released on the same day. He’s due to appear in court on July 1.

The dancehall artist gained notoriety on “Making The Band” by clashing with Diddy and Wyclef Jean over creative differences.

Machine Gun Kelly is firing back at his ex’s ex Brian Austin Green by honoring him with an exclusive drink he’s claiming will wash away any potential issues with adulthood — and help him mind his own beeswax!!!

On Friday, MGK’s 27 Club Coffee introduced the “Child Actor Margarita” today, an ALL-GREEN drink intended to “put a childish twist … for those days when you just don’t wanna act like an adult.”

To add a little salt into the wound — and margarita, the coffee club added a “9021-OMG” to the caption.

Sources close to MGK say it’s just a light-hearted jab, considering that B.A.G. has been throwing heavy shots at his maligned relationship with Megan Fox.

We caught up with Brian shortly before MGK and Megan’s baby girl was born … and he didn’t mince his words urging Kellz to grow up.
