A U.S. judge on Friday denied Sean (Diddy) Combs’s bid to delay his upcoming sex-trafficking trial by two months.
U.S. District Judge Arun Subramanian said the hip-hop mogul made his request too close to his trial. Jury selection is scheduled to start on May 5, with opening statements on May 12.
Combs, 55, has pleaded not guilty to five criminal counts, including racketeering and sex trafficking. Prosecutors with the Manhattan U.S. Attorney’s Office say Combs used his business empire to sexually abuse women between 2004 and 2024.
