The jury was also given a list of at least 190 celebrities and influential figures, then marked the names they recognized.
Some of the artists featured on the list include Michael B. Jordan, Kanye West, Mike Myers, and Kid Cudi.
The trial, which begins on May 5, 2025 in federal court in Lower Manhattan, has become the focus of media attention from the early morning, when a large number of reporters, journalists and residents gather outside, creating an unprecedented scene of excitement and tension.
Inside the trial, 150 jury candidates were handed a long and detailed questionnaire. The questionnaire asks them to express their personal views on law enforcement, share personal experiences â if any â related to intimate abus.e cases, and provide knowledge or connections (if any) to Diddy and other prominent figures named in the case.
Hip hop mogul Diddy's case has amounted to 200 celebrities, a particular detail that draws attention during the jury selection process is the list of more than 190 celebrities given, asking candidates to mark names they once knew or were impressed.
This list ranges from movie stars, music to Diddy's close friends, including famous names such as Michael B. Jordan, Kanye West, Mike Myers, Kid Cudi, Michelle Williams (member of Destiny's Chil.d), singer Dawn Richard, actress Lauren London and many members of Diddy's family.
The request to confirm the level of acquaintance with public figures is said to be to assess objectivity and potential bias during the trial process.
The appearance of a series of famous names on the jury checklist has sparked a wave of curiosity in public opinion, especially when the specific connection between many characters and the case has not yet been clearly publicized.
However, some of the people on this list are believed to be directly related to the key facts of the case. Notable is rapper Kid Cudi, who was suspected of being targeted in a car explosion in 2011. This incident is believed to be related to Diddy, which occurred at the same time that Cudi was dating Casandra "Cassie" Ventura - Diddy's longtime girlfriend and is currently the center of this trial.
Attorney Mark Geragos, who represents Combs' mothe.r and has a close relationship with him, was controversial when he called the prosecution team "six white women" on the podcast. The remarks were described as "unacceptable" by Judge Arun Subramanian and warned that future public comments would be closely monitored.
Diddy currently faces five serious criminal charges, including: one count of organized crime, two counts of trafficking and two counts of transporting a person serving prostitutio.n.
If convicted, Diddy could face life in prison. The trial is expected to last at least eight weeks, with the opening argument on May 12.
According to prosecutors, the investigation has been underway for years, collecting data from more than 100 electronic devices and more than 50 words â the majority of which were women who filed lawsuits abused by Diddy over a period of about 20 years, from 2004 to 2024.
They accused Diddy of being the head of a sophisticated criminal organization, protected and concealed by a crony network of aides, bodyguards and managers who had been silent for years.
As of 2023, Diddy has been embroiled in more than 70 civil lawsuits related to harassment and trafficking. However, this is the first time he has faced a federal criminal case that could result in a prison sentence.
The trial of hip hop mogul Diddy is not only a mere criminal case but also a symbol of change in the entertainment industry and American society facing abuses of power.
Hip hop mogul Diddy denies all allegations, insists the acts are voluntary, and accuses him of being "organized through". The lawyer promised to refute the whole and ask for a fair trial.
