Why were celebs like Michael B. Jordan, Kanye West named in Diddy's trial?

  • Sean 'Diddy' Combs' federal sex trafficking trial began in May 2025 in a Manhattan courthouse with jury selection underway.
  • The trial comes after Combs was taken into custody in September 2024, facing serious federal allegations such as sex trafficking, racketeering, and kidnapping, related to accusations spanning more than twenty years.
  • Jury selection included questioning over 150 prospective jurors on their impartiality and knowledge of a list of celebrities like Michael B. Jordan, Kanye West, and Kid Cudi linked to the case.
  • Court showed evidence such as a 2016 hotel video of Combs allegedly assaulting Casandra Ventura, the trial’s star witness, while Combs denies all allegations and claims consensual encounters.
  • If convicted, Combs faces life imprisonment, and the trial's outcome could set a precedent given the scale and severity of charges and multiple accusers involved.
