Sean “Diddy” Combs’s trial for sex trafficking and racketeering is set to start on May 5th before US District Judge Arun Subramanian. The disgraced pop star faces charges that could land him in jail for a minimum of 15 years or even life in prison.
The singer, who has pleaded not guilty to all charges, has been huddling with his lawyers to craft his defense.
Sean “Puffy” has been complaining about life in jail and has said to have had “a fit” over all the press and sympathy Luigi Mangione, who’s been nicknamed ‘the hot killer’ on the internet, has been getting after shooting UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson on surveillance video.
Combs’s lawyer, Marc Agnifilo, told the media, “He’s waking up on a steel bed with a one-and-a-half-inch mattress, no pillow, in an 8-by-10-foot cell that I can assure you is disgusting,” and went on to complain about the “dreadful conditions” of his clients holding facility at MDC Brooklyn.
Puffy, who was once said to be worth a billion dollars and is now reportedly down to 400 million, is racking up millions in legal fees and is being sued by at least 100 people who all want what could end up being hundreds of millions of dollars in civil damages.
Meanwhile, Puffy’s 7 children, Quincy, Justin, Christian, Chance, D’Lila, Jessie, and Love who’s only 2, have been living it up on his dime. His kids are flying around the world on his jet and still spending money the way they did when their father was riding high on the hog.
Over the last month, his 18-year-old twins Jessie and D’Lila were seen posing on Instagram and TikTok in a series of tiny bikinis on a mega yacht and on the pristine beaches of St. Barts, long a celebrity getaway for VIPs including Beyoncé and Jay-Z, Kendall Jenner, Leonardo DiCaprio, and Jeff Bezos.
Their older brother Christian aka ‘King’ Combs has been plastering his social media with pictures of himself dripping in big diamond-encrusted chains, medallions, and blinged-out watches.
He’s also been snapped getting out of chauffeur-driven SUVs in designer clothes and carrying shopping bags from Louis Vuitton and Bergdorf Goodman.
Friends of Puffy say this display of overt wealth and carefree living is disrespectful to their father, who may or may not know the extent of their lavish lifestyles while he’s wilting away in a rodent-infested cell.
