Kanye West made a shocking appearance at Sean “Diddy” Combs’ sex-trafficking trial Friday morning, entering the lower Manhattan courthouse through the front doors.
A day earlier, one of Diddy’s alleged victims, former gal pal “Jane,” gave detailed testimony about an unnamed, world-famous rap “icon” who she said was into a “similar” sex-crazed, “freak-off” lifestyle as the Bad Boy Records founder.
Diddy, 55, is accused of using his fame, fortune and many businesses to run a decade-long scheme in which he controlled and manipulated his longtime girlfriend, R&B singer Cassie Ventura, 38, and others including Jane using violence and threats, forcing them into “freak-off” sex marathons that went on for days.
The rapper has pleaded not guilty to charges of sex trafficking, racketeering, and transportation to engage in prostitution. He faces life in prison if convicted.
The trial is not televised because cameras are prohibited inside the federal courthouse, but we’re there following all the action — so watch this space for the latest updates.
