Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs’s sex-trafficking and racketeering trial to begin
Hip-hop mogul, 55, has been accused of forcing women to perform in drug-fueled ‘freak offs’ to further their careers
The high-profile racketeering and sex-trafficking trial of music mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs, which has sent shock waves through the global entertainment industry, is scheduled to begin next week with opening statements and will stretch into the summer.
