After nearly a month of jaw-dropping testimony, federal prosecutors have officially rested their case in the racketeering and sex-trafficking conspiracy trial of Sean “Diddy” Combs. The government pulled no punches as it painted a chilling portrait of one of hip-hop’s biggest names, accusing the music mogul of secretly leading a criminal organization that allegedly thrived off abuse, intimidation, and exploitation.
The courtroom has seen 28 days of testimony from 34 witnesses, paired with a staggering collection of evidence. Prosecutors are alleging that behind the glitz and glam of the Bad Boy Records empire was a darker operation—one that used fame, power, and nearly a billion-dollar fortune to control and abuse women, all while keeping his reputation squeaky clean in public.
Federal attorneys say Diddy orchestrated a calculated scheme that weaponized wealth and influence. Among the allegations: paying off security to stay quiet, forcing women to engage in disturbing sex acts in front of him, kidnapping an employee, and even ordering a Porsche to be firebombed. Authorities claim Diddy’s inner circle helped protect his secrets while his victims were left traumatized and silenced with threats of humiliation or financial destruction.
In opening arguments, the prosecution made it clear that this case isn’t about celebrity—it’s about accountability. They say the man who once went by Puff Daddy ran a decades-long criminal enterprise where intimidation and coercion weren’t just tactics—they were policy.
With the prosecution’s case now officially closed, all eyes are on what comes next. The defense is expected to counter the mountain of evidence and testimony in the coming days. But with the severity of the charges, if Diddy is found guilty, he could spend the rest of his life behind bars.
Stay tuned—this trial is far from over.
