Sean Combs Faces Sex Trafficking Trial Mentioning Multiple Celebrities

During Sean "Diddy" Combs’ federal sex trafficking and racketeering trial in Manhattan, multiple celebrities have been mentioned in various testimonies without accusations against them. Former assistant Capricorn Clark referenced Whitney Houston and Mariah Carey when discussing Cassie Ventura's talent, while alleged victim "Mia" mentioned her prior work for actor Mike Myers and fashion designer Georgina Chapman. Other celebrities named include Nas, Kelis, Kid Cudi—whose car was reportedly firebombed following threats from Combs—and the late rapper Notorious B.I.G., whose 1997 murder was referenced through a disputed scrapbook. Celebrity stylist Deonte Nash testified about introducing Cassie Ventura to actor Michael B. Jordan and mentioned NFL player Andre Branch and an unnamed NBA player called "Brandon." Throughout the trial, these mentions have provided context around Combs’ relationships and behavior but have not implicated the celebrities in wrongdoing.
