A GROWING list of celebrities have been mentioned in Sean “Diddy” Combs’ sick sex trafficking trial over his perverse “freak off” parties.
In just three weeks of proceedings, a court has already heard about the mega-producer allegedly bombing fellow rapper Kid Cudi’s car and lashing out as his ex-girlfriend in late-rock star Prince’s mansion.
Diddy is accused of throwing so-called “freak-off” parties where he would illegally fly in sex workers from across the country to provide his high-profile guests with explicit entertainment.
He also would allegedly record some of his most recognizeable guests in compromising positions and use his sick videos as blackmail to keep people under his thumb, prosecutors say.
At the center of the trial is the rapper’s nearly decade-long relationship with ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura, who busted his case wide open with a graphic civil suit filed in November 2023.
That lawsuit was settled out of court, and Diddy denied all of her allegations.
The trial started with bombshell testimony from Cassie herself, who bravely recounted some of the darkest alleged moments throughout their drug-fueled romance.
Cassie, 38, accused Diddy, 55, of forcing her to get high and have sex with male escorts for hours on end during the horrific sessions, and claimed the executive controlled every aspect of her life.
“Control was everything from the way I looked, what I was working on that day, who I was speaking to,” Cassie, who was just days away from giving birth to her third child with now-husband Alex Fine, said.
“You make the wong face and the next thing I knew I was getting hit in the face.”
Diddy was arrested in September 2024 and is battling a massive list of civil lawsuits as he stands trial.
He’s pleaded not guilty to all allegations of wrongdoing and plans to keep fighting to prove his innocence.
Throughout Cassie’s and other shocking testimonies, many celebrities have been linked to the embattled rapper.
Here is a look at all of the stars who have been named so far.
Kid Cudi took the stand during the trialGettyKID CUDI
One A-lister who spoke in trial was rapper and actor Kid Cudi, who testified about Diddy allegedly bombing his car amid a violent feud over Cassie.
Cudi, who briefly dated Cassie in 2012 when she and Diddy were on a break, was first linked to the madness through Cassie’s lawsuit, which lifted the lid on the alleged attack.
In her testimony, Cassie claimed that Diddy lunged at her with a wine bottle opener when he learned of their tryst and went on to trash her hotel room.
When Cudi took the stand, he confirmed that his car had been destroyed, and also accused Diddy of breaking into his home in 2011.
He claimed the furious music producer opened up Christmas presents and locked Cudi’s dog in the bathroom before sneaking out of his property.

Dawn Richard also took the stand to discuss working with Diddy when he signed her and bandmates Aubrey O’Day and Shannon Bex for the girl group Danity Kane.
She claimed in court that she witnessed Diddy physically and verbally abuse Cassie multiple times when she was still signed to his label.
The singer’s testimony came after she sued Diddy for sexual assault and battery in September 2024.

Hollywood star Michael B Jordan is another A-lister who was thrown into the chaos after he briefly dated Cassie in 2015.
Their relationship was named in Cassie’s lawsuit, and was also mentioned by her during her testimony.
She said she started dating the Black Panther star in 2015 after learning that Diddy started to see one of his flings while she was in South Africa shooting a film.
Cassie cut off communication with the rapper while she dated Jordan. She said that one of Diddy’s staffers later reached out to her to say the music producer knew about her relationship.

Famous singer Usher was another alleged witness who watched in horror as Diddy abused Cassie, Richard claimed on the stand.
The Danity Kane singer accused Diddy of punching Cassie in the stomach at a restaurant in 2010 while a group of people, including Usher, was at dinner.
She claimed that Diddy told Cassie to go home, and that no one at the event mentioned what happened.
HARVE PIERRE
Record executive Harve Pierre, who worked with Diddy’s label Bad Boy Entertainment, was also mentioned by Richard during her testimony.
She claimed he was one of the many witnesses who saw the rapper abuse Cassie.

An anonymous former employee, who went by the psyeudonym Mia, has accused Diddy of sexually abusing her multiple times while she was working for him.
In her bombshell testimony, she also named the late-rock legend Prince as she fired off allegations against the mega producer.
She claimed that Diddy threw himself at Cassie at a party being thrown by the Purple Rain singer, and had to be stopped from physically assaulting her by security guards.

Convicted gangster and former music executive Suge Knight had a terrifying rivalry with Diddy, and witnesses claim they feared it would become violent.
David James, who was Diddy’s former assistant, accused Diddy of demanding him to confront Knight when his rival was seen at a diner across the street.
Cassie also said that she remembered this, and claimed Diddy gave her a gun to hold in case there was a bust up.
However, the confrontation never actually ended up happening, both parties said.

Another rapper said to be feuding with Diddy was 50 Cent, who allegedly discussed “guns” in the midst of their rivalry, another ex-assistant claimed.
Capricorn Clark, who used to work for Diddy, claimed in court that her ex-boss made a disturbing remark about the In da Club rapper after they were at an MTV press event together.
She accused Diddy of saying, “I don’t like all the back and forth […] I like guns.”
LIST GROWS
Many other celebrities have been mentioned in the courtroom, but their links to the rapper haven’t been made clear.
Potential jurors were given a list of celebrities during selection and had to report their knowledge of each one.
One of those celebrities mentioned was Kanye West.
Kanye dropped the song Lonely Roads Still Go to Sunshine on X that featured daughter North West and Diddy in March, following the rapper’s arrest.
However, his association, if any, with the allegations being discussed in trial haven’t been made clear.
Potential jurors were also asked about comedian Mike Myers, but he hasn’t been mentioned in proceedings so far.
Myers did make a joke about Diddy in his 2002 movie Austin Powers: Goldmember where a character named Dr. Evil had a “Diddy” tattoo on his rear end.
Another rapper, Wiz Khalifa, was mentioned during trial proceedings.
The defense showed images from the rapper’s 2011 music video for his song Black and Yellow which featured Cassie to try and prove that her career wasn’t suppressed by Diddy.
Diddy locked eyes with us as he entered the courtroom - inside the trial of the decade
By Israel S-Rodriguez, Senior News Reporter at The U.S. Sun:
The federal sex trafficking trial of Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs began with jury selection on May 5.
Combs is standing trial at the Southern District of New York Courthouse in Lower Manhattan – an intimidating federal courthouse where the cases of Ghislaine Maxwell, Donald Trump, and Bernard Madoff, among others, were tried.
Once a powerful founder of a music and business empire, Combs has been reduced to a defendant, inmate 37452-054, stripped of his mogul status, and now standing trial on five federal charges with the full wrath of the United States government against him.
When I attended Day 3 of jury selection at the federal courthouse on May 7, the buzz around the start of the trial was palpable.
Hours before the courthouse opened its doors, more than a dozen reporters and members of the public stood in line in hopes of securing a seat in the gallery for the high-profile trial.
As you walk through the glass door entrance of the Daniel Patrick Moynihan Courthouse, you are met by bulletproof vest-clad court officers.
All visitors must separate their electronic devices from their personal belongings, which are passed through a metal detector.
Visitors walk through a metal detector before a court officer hands them a poker chip.
The courthouse uses a poker chip system to sort the number of electronic devices visitors are in possession of.
Electronic devices, such as Bluetooth-powered headphones, voice recorders, laptops, cellphones, and smart watches, are confiscated before you’re allowed to enter the courthouse’s main hallway.
As about a half-dozen reporters and I waited in the gallery for jury selection, we witnessed how Combs entered the courtroom shackle-free.
Combs entered with his hands pressed together, greeted his defense team before he examined the gallery, and locked eyes with reporters and potential jurors.
The 55-year-old disgraced Bad Boy Records executive was attentive and engaged with his counsel as they grilled dozens of potential jurors.
As jury selection wrapped up for the day, Combs embraced each of his female defense attorneys before he mouthed “thank you” to a handful of supporters in the gallery.
I attended trial again as opening statements got underway on May 12 and the world media waited anxiously outside the federal courthouse before the sun rose in Lower Manhattan.
A line stretched down the block from the federal courthouse as some members of the media and from the public camped out overnight to try to obtain a coveted seat inside the gallery.
At least three overflow rooms were made available for reporters and the public, who are eager to witness the prosecutions case against the music mogul.
At least half a dozen members of Combs’ family arrived at the courthouse as spectators filed in single order to enter the federal building to turn over all their electronic devices.
Combs’ trial is being held on the 26th floor in Judge Arun Subramanian’s courtroom and is expected to last for eight weeks.
We’ll bring it all to you on The U.S. Sun.
