Diddy swaps Met Gala for courtroom, granted permission to wear civilian clothes

Combs, a globally recognised figure in the entertainment industry, is facing serious federal charges in the United States, including sex trafficking, racketeering, and conspiracy as reported by Vulture.

The allegations stem from a series of incidents that span over a decade and involve multiple accusers. With the stakes extraordinarily high, the trial, could result in a life sentence if Combs is convicted, as reported by AOL.

Despite widespread public interest, it is highly unlikely that the trial will be broadcast. Federal courts in the United States, particularly the Southern District of New York where the proceedings will take place, generally prohibit live cameras in the courtroom.
