Sting Unfazed by Diddy Allegations, Stands by 'Every Breath You Take'

Despite Sean 'Diddy' Combs facing serious legal charges, Sting asserts that the legacy of The Police's iconic song remains intact.

Sting emphasizes that his feelings towards 'Every Breath You Take' are unchanged by the allegations against Diddy, who sampled the song without prior approval.
Diddy is currently in custody, facing charges including sex trafficking and racketeering, with his trial set for May 5, 2025.
Sting and Diddy have maintained a friendly relationship despite a past legal dispute over the song's royalties, which were awarded entirely to Sting.
Diddy's legal team continues to deny all allegations, and he has been denied bail multiple times while awaiting trial.
Sting views music sampling as a way to keep songs alive and relevant, expressing no objection to younger artists using his work.
