    P Diddy court case: He used to be NYC’s hottest ticket – he never imagined it would be like this

    P Diddy court case: He used to be NYC’s hottest ticket – he never imagined it would be like this

    Cliff Notes – P Diddy court case

    • Sean “Diddy” Combs, once celebrated in Times Square for receiving the key to the city, now faces serious charges including sex trafficking and racketeering as he appears in court.
    • Combs’s family’s support is evident as they attend his court proceedings, yet the gravity of the charges could lead to life imprisonment.
    • The prosecution describes Combs as a “violent monster,” with disturbing allegations about drug-fuelled parties, while the former pop star denies all charges.

    P Diddy court case: He used to be NYC’s hottest ticket – he never imagined it would be like this

    In September 2023, crowds packed Times Square, cheering, and taking pictures as Sean “Diddy” Combs received the key to the city, an honour bestowed on him by the New York City mayor who called Combs the “bad boy of entertainment”. 

    Less than two years later and just three miles down the road, people were now queueing around the block to secure a spot to see him inside the courtroom to face charges of sex trafficking, racketeering and transportation for prostitution.

    P Diddy used to be the hottest ticket in town - he never imagined it would be like this

    The fall from grace of this music mogul has been sharp and shocking.

    After spending seven months imprisoned at the Brooklyn Metropolitan Detention Center, Combs’s hair is now fully grey, his beard overgrown.

    His mother Janice arrived at the court in a black SUV. I asked her how her son was feeling ahead of the first day of evidence in this case but she remained stony-faced.

    Combs’s sons Justin and King and his 17-year-old twin daughters, D’Lila Star and Jessie James, followed behind in a large people carrier van with other family members.

    When Combs was escorted into the courtroom he waved and blew a kiss to his family, who were seated in the second row of the public gallery.

    They may never again see him as a free man, with the most serious charges against him carrying a possible life prison sentence.

    Combs, who was wearing a cream jumper, grey trousers and dark-rimmed glasses embraced members of his defence team when he arrived. He listened intently as the prosecution painted a picture of a violent monster, sometimes taking notes.

    Combs used his business empire and considerable power, the government said, to force women into sex, to beat them and then to cover it up.

    There were gasps from the public gallery in the overflow courtroom as prosecutor Emily Johnson delivered the opening statement, especially as she mentioned disturbing detail about Combs’s alleged drug-fuelled sex parties, which he called “freak offs”.

    The prosecution’s star witness will be Cassie Ventura. The pop star was in a relationship with Combs for eleven years.

    Her husband Alex Fine was in court as the trial began in earnest and Cassie is expected to begin giving evidence on Tuesday morning.

    She is heavily pregnant and may choose to make a low profile entrance into the courthouse, avoiding the scrum of national and international media outside.

    Even before the first day concluded, people were already queuing for a seat in the public gallery tomorrow. Those at the front of the line are being paid (between $25 to $40 an hour) to hold a spot for others.

    These “professional line sitters” will be here outside the courthouse overnight when it is expected to rain. P Diddy is used to being the hottest ticket in town but he presumably never imagined it would be in these circumstances. He denies all the charges against him.
