The world of entertainment has seen quite a bit of highly popular lawsuits and trials with Johnny Depp–Amber Heard‘s defamation trial being the latest of them. Having received considerable media attention and even a Netflix series, televised trials in recent years have become a norm.

Sean P Diddy Combs, who was arrested in September and continues to be lodged behind bars, too is awaiting a trial. With several lawsuits and allegations against him, ranging from r*pe charges to s*xual abuse and more, the rapper’s federal lawsuit finally has a tentative trial date.

As per a newly appointed judge in his case, the trial is set to begin on May 5, 2025, but there has been no revelation of whether the rapper’s trial will be televised like the Depp-Heard trial. Prosecutors further have till the 31st of December to turn over any discovery they make (via CBS News).

While things aren’t going all too well for Diddy, given the many lawsuits and allegations against him, things might potentially get even worse for him. Recently, New York-based attorney Alex Spiro revealed to Court TV that he has been hired to investigate the rapper’s potential involvement in the highly controversial and notorious murder case of rapper Tupac Shakur in 1996.

An unsolved case for years, it was finally in 2023 that Duane Keefe D Davis was charged with his murder. But before being charged Davis had initially accused Combs of being involved, and so did one detective who told in his testimony that one of those involved in the murder had alleged Combs was somewhat responsible.

Since then, the rapper has been accused by fans of being involved in the killings of other hip hop artists and rappers such as Christopher Wallace aka The Notorious B.I.G. While he hasn’t been considered a suspect, only time will tell what more shocking details we will get to know.
