Sean 'Diddy' Combs Faces New Allegations as Criminal Trial Approaches

The music mogul is set to plead not guilty to expanded charges of forced labor and sex trafficking in a Manhattan federal court hearing today.

Sean 'Diddy' Combs, who has been in custody since September 2024, is due to enter a plea today on a revised indictment in Manhattan federal court.
The new indictment expands the timeline of alleged criminal conduct and includes accusations of forced labor and threats against employees over two decades.
Combs has consistently denied all charges, including racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking, and transportation for prostitution, and maintains his innocence.
Prosecutors allege Combs used his business empire to coerce individuals into participating in exploitative acts, supported by video evidence and witness testimonies.
Jury selection for the trial is contested, with prosecutors seeking an April 21 start and the defense requesting a May 5 date, citing fairness concerns.
