Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs’ trial has begun, with his ex-girlfriend testifying in court on May 13 about her alleged abusive relationship with the disgraced American rapper, who was seen beating and trashing her in a CNN footage acquired by the outlet from a hotel where the alleged freak-off took place. During her testimony, Cassie made multiple disturbing claims, including how Combs arranged escorts for her, how she relied on pills, and even contracted a UTI infection and tongue sores. Following her testimony, a long list of celebrity names was brought up in New York City’s Manhattan federal court, some connected directly, others just caught in the crossfire.

Celebrities involved in Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs’ case

According to Cassie, Diddy often forced her to attend disturbing sex parties, which he allegedly called “freak-offs”. Months before the trial, the federal prosecution argued that these events often started with a white party that attracted a long list of Hollywood A-listers. But as time passed and night fell, the party would turn into something very bizarre, when most of the guests had left, and illegal things would run, including coercing people into sexual acts. A few of the names mentioned during the trial, as reported by Page Six, are as follows.

Drake and French Montana

During her testimony, Cassie said Diddy assaulted her right before flying to Canada to attend Drake’s music festival, where the Bad Boy Records producer was set to appear onstage as a surprise guest at Drake’s OVO Fest. According to Cassie, she attended the party trying to hide her black eye and was photographed with French Montana.

Kim Porter

Diddy’s late ex-girlfriend, Kim Porter, whose alleged diary detailing Combs’ ‘horrible’ deeds is still under investigation, was also brought up by Cassie. According to her, Diddy was cheating on the mother of his three kids with her. According to her, Diddy hid their romance at the time because he didn’t want things to “look bad.” Though Kim succumbed to pneumonia, there have been reports about her being abused the same way as Cassie.

Kid Cudi

Kid Cudi, aka Scott Ramon Seguro Mescudi, was likely one of the victims of Combs. According to prosecutors’ speculation and findings, Diddy had his car bombed in 2011. The case is still under investigation.

Michael B. Jordan

Cassie also briefly dated Michael B. Jordan after breaking up with Diddy in 2016. Though the Sinners star is not connected to the case, his name was still brought up as someone possibly linked to Cassie, who could be asked to testify if needed.

Michelle Williams

According to the outlet, the former Destiny’s Child singer’s name popped up during jury selection, but there is no mention of any wrongdoing or direct link with the case. The same goes for Mike Myers.

Kanye West

Kanye keeps supporting Combs through his social media tirades and even collaborated with him for his new single. His name, as of yet, is involved just because of his early association with the rapper. He’s been supportive of Diddy ever since his arrest in September 2024. In a recent phone call posted online, Diddy warned Kanye to “be careful,” and thanked him for looking out for his seven kids.

Prince 

Prince was dragged into the case after Cassie detailed one incident where she once went to a private Prince concert in L.A. without Diddy’s permission. She said, “He would have definitely not let me go.” Later, he found out and assaulted her the same night in the hotel.

Ike Turner 

A small reference was made when Cassie showed a screenshot to the court with a text message sent to Diddy. She wrote: “You treat me like Ike Turner,” comparing him to the infamous abuser of singer Tina Turner.

Apart from them, other celebrities whose names were brought up include Diddy’s long-term rival Suge Knight, Harve Pierre who worked with Diddy’s record label, Laurieann Gibson the choreographer who worked with Diddy, and Dallas Austin who dated Diddy’s ex, Kim Porter, for a short time.
