À propos de cet audio

Listeners, Sean Combs, known to many as Puffy or P Diddy, remains in the national spotlight as his high-profile legal battles intensify. A federal judge has just denied Combs’ request to delay his upcoming sex trafficking trial, confirming that jury selection will begin on May 5. His legal team pushed for a two-month postponement, arguing the need to resolve disputes over evidence, but the court ruled there was enough time to prepare. Central to the controversy is a 2016 video, reportedly showing Combs physically assaulting his then-girlfriend Cassie Ventura. Combs’ attorneys argue the tape was manipulated, a claim CNN rejects, and the judge’s decision on whether the video will be admissible could play a pivotal role at trial. Some alleged victims are permitted to testify under pseudonyms, but not Cassie Ventura, who is expected to take the stand under her real name, according to coverage by ABC News.

Parallel to these mounting legal troubles, Combs has faced a series of both wins and setbacks in civil court. In one notable recent development, a federal judge dismissed another sex assault lawsuit against him. Additionally, some charges in a $30 million lawsuit brought by a music producer have been thrown out, reflecting a mixed but contentious legal landscape for the music mogul. These legal cases and the impending trial are being followed closely, including through a deep-dive podcast series, “Bad Rap: The Case Against Diddy,” featuring legal experts and investigative journalists.

Despite the turmoil, Combs’ financial empire is still the subject of much fascination. His net worth in 2025 remains estimated at over $1 billion, cementing his status as one of hip-hop’s most successful entrepreneurs. His business ventures span music, beverages with massive revenue from his longstanding partnership with Diageo for Ciroc vodka, fashion, digital media, and even a landmark move into the cannabis industry. The launch of Empower Global, a digital marketplace supporting Black-owned businesses, highlights his ongoing efforts to shape culture and commerce beyond music, as reported by Revolt TV and business analysis from platforms like Trapital.

Listeners should expect more headline developments as the trial date approaches, guaranteeing that Sean Combs—Puffy, Diddy, and all his personas—will stay at the center of the national conversation through the spring and beyond.
