Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs is aiming to headline Madison Square Garden.
Marc Agnifilo, the head lawyer for the 55-year-old music mogul, told CBS Mornings that the I’ll Be Missing You vocalist has his sights set on the New York City staple for a comeback concert.
‘He’s going to be back at Madison Square Garden – and I said I’ll be there,’ the lawyer told the network’s Jericka Duncan in a segment slated to air Thursday.
Agnifilo told Duncan that Diddy told him he wants to ‘get back with his mother, and the people who love him and miss him.’
The lawyer added, ‘I think he wants to get out of jail, reestablish a loving, present relationship with all of his seven children.’
Duncan asked the attorney, ‘So he’s talked to you about getting back into music?’ to which Agnifilo replied, ‘No – honestly, he has not – OK, one thing he said, he said’ was that he’s ‘going to be back in Madison Square Garden.

Agnifilo said of Diddy, ‘I think he’s someone who’s always going to strive to do something, you know, exceptional and probably demanding and challenging.’
Daily Mail has reached out to reps for Combs for further comment on the story.
The chatter about the rapper’s future comes amid news his legal team has been in contact with President Donald Trump’s administration about a potential pardon.
Another member of the Diddy legal team, Nicole Westmoreland, said it was her ‘understanding that we’ve reached out and had conversations in reference to a pardon’ in a chat with CNN earlier this week.
Diddy remains ‘a very hopeful person,’ Westmoreland said, and is upbeat that Trump – who he has a relationship with dating back decades – will grant his request.
Diddy was cleared on sex trafficking and racketeering charges in his criminal trial in New York City last month.
The Satisfy You artist was convicted in connection with federal prostitution violations – and has been denied bail – but has a hearing on slate for October 3.

Agnifilo told CBS Diddy has been using the time in prison to focus on ‘the blessings that he’s been given, on the imperfections that I think he sees in himself.’
Under the counts he was convicted of – transportation to engage in prostitution – Diddy faces a maximum sentence of 10 years in custody.
Diddy could have been held for life had he been convicted on the other charges.
Attorneys for the hip-hop stalwart said Diddy should be allowed a bond of $1 million to go free until sentencing.
