Hip-hop mogul Sean "P. Diddy" Combs built his fortune with swagger and business savvy. But Tuesday he walked into the Hilton Hotel to answer accusations that his latest venture, the clothing line known as Sean John, relied on Honduran women paid pennies to stitch T-shirts that retail for $40 in SoHo boutiques.
