Sean “Diddy” Combs, the music mogul behind Bad Boy Records, has rejected a last-minute plea deal ahead of his federal trial for sex trafficking and racketeering. Jury selection begins May 5, 2025, in New York, with Combs facing a potential life sentence if convicted. His decision to proceed to trial marks a high-stakes moment in a case that has gripped the public.

During a pre-trial hearing, Judge Arun Subramanian questioned Combs about the undisclosed plea offer, which promised a reduced sentence. Combs’ attorney, Marc Agnifilo, confirmed that they reviewed the deal and chose to reject it. Standing before the court, Combs affirmed, “I have read the offer, your honor,” and confirmed his rejection, stating, “Yes, I did, your honor.”

The trial will address serious charges, including racketeering, sex trafficking, and transportation for prostitution. Prosecutors allege Combs exploited women for two decades, using his music empire as a front for a criminal enterprise involving coerced “freak-off” parties fueled by drugs and intimidation. Combs denies all charges, insisting any activities were consensual.

Trial Preparations and Challenges

Since his arrest in September 2024, Combs has remained in custody without bail, with courts citing risks of witness tampering. Despite offering a $50 million bond with strict conditions, multiple bail requests have failed. To ensure a fair trial, Judge Subramanian warned attorneys to follow professional conduct rules, promising action for violations.

The court approved Combs’ request to wear civilian clothing during the trial, allowing five button-down shirts, five pairs of pants, five sweaters, five pairs of socks, and two pairs of laceless shoes. Opening statements are set for May 12, 2025, with the trial expected to be lengthy.

Prosecutors plan to present surveillance footage from 2016 allegedly showing Combs assaulting his ex-girlfriend, Cassie Ventura, a potential key witness who previously accused him of abuse. Over a dozen civil lawsuits against Combs, some led by attorney Tony Buzbee representing over 120 clients, further complicate the case, alleging misconduct by Combs and his associates.

The trial’s outcome could reshape Combs’ legacy and influence the music industry’s reckoning with power dynamics.
