Some known names were mentioned in court while continuing the jury selection at the federal judgment of Sean “Diddy” Combs . The group of potential judges was asked to review a list of people and places that can be mentioned during the trial. Actor and producer Michael B. Jordan, rapper Kid Cudi, the comedian Mike Myers the rapper Yung Miami , Kanye West and the ex-girlfriend of Combs, Cassie Ventura were among the various celebrities whose names were cited in court during the jury national team last Monday (5).
Jordan which currently stars “Sinners” (“sinners” in Portuguese) will not be called as a witness to testify during the trial, according to a source from CNN.
Jordan’s name is on the list presented to the jury, according to the source, because it was mentioned in the process filed by Cassie Ventura against Combs In 2023, although not directly by the name.
In the complaint, which was quickly resolved with an agreement with Combs shortly after being filed, Ventura claimed that during a separation in 2015 in the relationship with Combs, she “started flirting with an actor” – which, according to CNN it was Jordan. Ventura stated in the process that New Year’s Eve with Jordan and that when Combs heard about it, he “called the actor and threatened him.”
A representative of Jordan did not respond to the request for commentary CNN .
Kid Cudi He is nominally cited in Ventura’s civil process against Combs as a former boyfriend with whom she had a brief relationship in 2011, “during a difficult phase” of her relationship with P. Diddy.
Ventura claimed in her civil action that Combs found emails between her and Kid Cudi and “got angry” with her, later saying that she would “explode Kid Cudi’s car”, and that “around that time, his car exploded at the entrance of his house.”
Kid Cudi representatives confirmed Ventura’s version of the New York Times in 2023.
“This is all true,” said an artist spokesman at the time.
CNN contacted Kid Cudi representatives for comments.
In the prosecution of the government, Combs is accused of “acts of violence [incluindo] Criminal fire, ”although it is unclear whether prosecutors are referring to the same incident with Kid Cudi.
Combs had already denied the allegations of the venture process. At the time of the agreement, a Comb lawyer said this “in no way represents an admission of guilt.”
“Mr. Combs’s decision to end the lawsuit with an agreement does not weaken its categorical denial of the accusations at all,” the statement concluded.
Lawyers in the federal case against Combs did not explain why certain people or places were included in the list shown to potential jurors, which is not public.
It is common for jurors to be questioned about names that may arise during the trial. Judges do this by precaution to ensure that any potential connection is investigated and are jurors without conflict, capable of being fair and impartial. The list also includes the names of lawyers involved in the case. The fact that a name is on the list does not indicate whether the person will witness or even have direct involvement with the trial, but it is possible that some names presented to the jury appear during the statements.
Combs declared innocent of the accusations, which include conspiracy for extortion, sex trafficking and transportation for prostitution purposes. If convicted of all the accusations, he can take life imprisonment.
