Diddy’s Request to Delay Trial Denied by Judge, Will Begin on Met Gala Day


Sean Combs was seeking a trial delay as his legal team cited new evidence in the latest revised indictment for his pending case

During a hearing on Friday, April 18, Judge Arun Subramanian ruled against the defense team’s request to push back the trial’s start date by two months. Following that decision, the trial will begin as planned on Monday, May 5, which is coincidentally the same day as the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s annual Met Gala fundraiser. In September 2024, Diddy, 55, was arrested in New York after a grand jury indicted him on charges of racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking by force, fraud or coercion and transportation to engage in prostitution, to which he pleaded not guilty.
