by The ongoing federal trial of Sean “Diddy” Combs, facing charges including sex trafficking and racketeering, has brought several high-profile celebrities into the spotlight. While many are not implicated in any wrongdoing, their names have surfaced during testimonies and jury selection processes.
Kid Cudi (Scott Mescudi):
The rapper testified that Combs allegedly broke into his home in 2011 after discovering Cudi’s brief relationship with Cassie Ventura, Combs’ former partner. Cudi also recounted that his Porsche was firebombed in 2012, an act he believes was linked to Combs’ jealousy.
Cassie Ventura:
Combs’ ex-girlfriend and central figure in the trial, Ventura has accused him of rape, abuse, and long-term coercion during their 11-year relationship. She testified about violent incidents, manipulation, and forced participation in sex acts known as “freak offs.”
Michael B. Jordan:
During cross-examination, Ventura mentioned that Combs suspected her of seeing someone else in the entertainment industry while filming in South Africa in 2016. She named Jordan as the individual, though he is not implicated in any misconduct.
Britney Spears and Kanye West:
Both artists were among over 100 names presented to potential jurors during the selection process, aiming to identify any biases. Their inclusion does not suggest involvement in the case.
