Diddy is looking to beef up his legal defense team … with an attorney famous for defending Young Thug in court.
According to new legal docs, obtained by TMZ, Georgia attorney Brian Steel wants to be admitted to practice law in the Southern District of New York so he can help defend Diddy at trial.
Brian’s known for repping Young Thug in the rapper’s YSL RICO case.
