This is your quick round-up so youâre ready for the start of Diddyâs trial, which is set to start on 12 May. Since we launched this podcast in November 2024, we have had five criminal counts against Diddy, heâs been denied bail three times, faced accusations of witness tampering, lost a lawyer, featured in a Kanye - or Ye - track from behind bars, gone grey, demanded a gag order, launched an Instagram campaign and accused the government of racism.
And thatâs just on the federal side of things. On the civil side, weâve had bombshell balcony-dangling allegations, people from Michael Jackson to OJ woven into the web of the âDiddy-verseâ, claims against JayâZ issued and then withdrawn, while the Texan trial lawyer Tony Buzbee told the BBC he has over 150 cases he could raise against Diddy.
What does Sean âDiddyâ Combs say? Heâs denied all the allegations and consistently said heâs never sexually assaulted anyone - man, or woman, adult or minor.
So how did we end up here, before his nearly 8-month stint in one of the USâs most notorious prisons, Diddy was a hip hop mogul, mega star and multi millionaire.
