About this listen

 Sean Combs, also known as Puffy and P. Diddy, remains jailed as his high-stakes federal case advances, with a New York judge previously setting a trial date of May 5, 2025 and prosecutors indicating additional charges could still be filed, according to AOL News. During that Manhattan hearing, six of his seven children and his mother attended as prosecutors said they’d seized 96 electronic devices during March raids on his Los Angeles and Miami homes; Combs pleaded not guilty to sex-trafficking, racketeering, and related charges and faces up to life in prison if convicted, AOL reports. CBS News’ running coverage notes the case has featured graphic testimony, extensive deliberations, and significant pretrial motions, underscoring how pivotal the coming proceedings are for the Bad Boy Records founder.

In recent courtroom appearances, Combs has looked markedly thinner and grayer after months in federal detention, according to eyewitness accounts summarized by The Hollywood Gossip via Law & Crime Network. His legal team has fought over scheduling and conditions, with entertainment industry chatter saying a defense bid to delay the trial was rebuffed, per FandomWire’s reporting carried on IMDb News. Separately, his family’s public show of support has become part of the courtroom narrative, with AOL describing how his twin daughters and other relatives filled rows in the gallery as the judge discussed possible gag orders and the continuing investigation.

The ripple effects have reached his business and real estate footprint. AInvest analyzed how the “stigma premium” from Combs’ federal case has weighed on his $61.5 million Los Angeles mansion’s valuation, citing investor interest in deep discounts and rebranding strategies tied to celebrity scandal properties. Meanwhile, broader retrospectives are reassessing his three-decade influence across music, politics, and branding, with USA TODAY’s reporting carried by AOL detailing his long ties to major political figures alongside the current federal indictment and denied bail.

For listeners tracking financial headlines around the mogul’s empire, FandomWire items surfaced on IMDb News continue to revisit his past deals and estimated wealth, highlighting how prior partnerships like Cîroc and DeLeón once defined his business narrative even as legal developments dominate today’s news cycle.
