Famous American rapper and producer, Sean “Diddy” Combs, is facing a serious lawsuit in the United States of America.
Famous American rapper and producer, Sean “Diddy” Combs, is facing a serious trial in the United States of America. He has been accused of sex trafficking, racketeering and participation in a criminal organization.
Sean was arrested in September 2024 and has pleaded not guilty to all charges.
What's happening in court?
Combs, 55, is accused of:
-2 cases of sex trafficking – minimum sentence: 15 years in prison each
-1 case of racketeering (criminal organization) – risks life imprisonment
-2 cases of transportation for the purpose of prostitution – up to 10 years in prison
The jury has already reached a verdict on four of the five charges, but has not yet decided on the most serious charge, that of racketeering, which is related to running a criminal network.
Testimony in the courtroom
Well-known names such as his ex-girlfriend, Cassie Ventura, and rapper Kid Cudi testified at the trial.
Cassie said Diddy would organize "sex parties" that lasted up to four days, where drugs were used and victims were forced to perform sexual acts. She said Combs would threaten her with videos to force her to do things she didn't want to do.
A video from last year also surfaced where he is seen physically hitting Cassie in a hotel.
What is expected?
Combs has been in prison since September 2024, and the jury is expected to announce its final verdict in the coming days, no later than July 2. If convicted of racketeering, he could be sentenced to life in prison.
This lawsuit is one of the most sensational in the music industry and could have major consequences for his career.
