To hear all the explosive testimony from singer Cassie Ventura and the other witnesses in Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs’ trial, tune in to Daily Mail’s hit podcast The Trial.

From sworn testimony to video evidence and the rapper’s every subtle move, our team of journalists take you inside the courtroom of the world’s biggest celebrity case.

Daily Mail has been following Diddy’s downfall from the very beginning. Join us as we hear from experts involved in the case, and members of the rapper’s inside circle.

Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs’s sex trafficking trial has spawned a slew of wild baseless conspiracy theories linking the music mogul to several high-profile figures.

DIDDY’S MANSION SPARED FROM RAMPANT LA FIRES

When a series of deadly wildfires tore through southern California in January, conspiracy theorists made baseless claims the infernos were started to ‘cover up’ Diddy’s alleged sex crimes – and protect any allies he may have left.

JUSTIN BIEBER ABUSED BY DIDDY

After Diddy was accused of a string of depraved crimes, there was widespread fears among Justin Bieber fans that the singer may have been sexually abused by the rap mogul during his early years in the music industry.

Concern first erupted last year after a video resurfaced of Combs and Bieber – who was a minor at the time – hanging out for ’48 hours.’ The pair also worked together on an album.

Bieber has now denied that he was one of the mogul’s victims, but that has not stopped social media users from speculating.

BEYONCE AND JAY-Z RAN CRIMINAL ENTERPRISE WITH DIDDY

Beyoncé and Jay-Z were baselessly accused of being involved in a criminal enterprise with Diddy last year.

The allegations surfaced on Piers Morgan’s Uncensored show when singer Jaguar Wright, who appeared as a guest on the program, suggested the pair had committed crimes similar to those of which Diddy has been accused.

Wright told the media personality she had been ‘screaming’ that ‘Diddy and Jay-Z are monsters’ for four years.

But Morgan was forced to issue an apology to the famous couple after their lawyers contacted him, saying the allegations were ‘totally false and have no basis in fact’.

WILL SMITH SOLD HIS DAUGHTER TO DIDDY

A fake news story, based on no evidence whatsoever, went viral in October last year, alleging that Will Smith sold his daughter Willow Smith to Diddy.

The article featured a doctored image of Willow, 23, and the rap mogul in bed together, prompting widespread speculation that she had been harmed by Diddy.

Diddy’s lawyers have repeatedly asked the judge to keep a compilation of the 2016 footage of Diddy attacking Cassie from the evidence the jury gets to review when they are deliberating on a verdict.

The judge has ruled that the video compilation.

will go into the jury room.

Mia said one of Combs’ former bodyguards also reached out to her in the days after Cassie filed her lawsuit.

Mia testified that she felt ‘terrified, threatened, scared, nervous’ that Combs was using an intermediary to reach her. She said she ‘wanted to play dumb’ and needed a gameplan to protect herself.

Mia’s testimony echoed concerns that prompted judges to deny Combs bail, keeping him jailed since his arrest last September.

Prosecutors said Combs and his allies were contacting potential victims or witnesses to prevent them from cooperating or to get them to alter their recollection of events.

At a bail hearing last September, Assistant U.S. Attorney Emily Johnson said Combs contacted at least one victim in November 2023 and was in constant contact with witnesses including as late as last July.

Jamie Foxx has spoken out again about Diddy, making it clear what he thought of the disgraced rap mogul.

During his appearance at The Comedy Store for Netflix’s All-Star Comedy Night, Jamie called Diddy a ‘nasty motherf****r,’ according to Urban Hollywood.

‘That Diddy s**t is crazy, huh? I don’t know if he’s going to jail, but he’s a nasty motherf***er. S**t! Am I right? Especially for our community. [For] white people, it’s cool, but black people are like, that was our hero. All that godd**n baby oil, boy. Then, the urine,’ Jamie said, referring to an alleged claim regarding Diddy’s ex Cassie and an escort urinating in her mouth.

A woman was escorted out of the court’s public gallery Tuesday after she started yelling against ‘the system.’

‘Diddy these motherf***ers are laughing at you in every courtroom,’ the woman yelled.

Judge Arun Subramanian quickly asked a guard to escort the woman out.

She has not been identified.

Former CFO of Sean Combs enterprises Derek Ferguson confirmed on Tuesday that in 2011, Diddy’s bank account received $20,000 from Cassie’s mom, Regina Ventura. The money then was sent back.

This appears to confirm Regina Ventura’s testimony.

She told the court an angry Diddy demanded $20,000 and threatened to release explicit sex tapes of his longtime girlfriend after learning she was dating someone else.

Regina Ventura said she felt ‘physically sick’ when her daughter sent her an email in late 2011 to say Combs threatened to release two explicit videos of her and send someone to hurt her and the man she was seeing, the rapper Kid Cudi.

‘I did not understand a lot of it. The sex tapes threw me,’ Ventura told the Manhattan federal court last month.

‘He was angry that he had spent money on her and she went with another person,’ she said.

Ventura said she tapped a home equity loan to pay Combs because she was ‘scared for my daughter’s safety.’ Days later, she said, the money was returned and Cassie was soon dating Diddy again.

Video expert Frank Piazza is expected to take the stand Wednesday morning.

They will likely be followed by Bryana Bongolan – Cassie Ventura’s friend who might testify about being dangled over the side of a building by Diddy.

Radio personality Enrique Santos is also on the witness list.

Moreover, an alleged victim, who will testify under the pseudonym of Jane, is expected to testify this week for the prosecution.

Prosecutors told the court on Monday that Jane should be taking the stand as soon as Wednesday afternoon.
