Diddy has remained silent throughout the 28 days of testimony in his high-profile federal sex trafficking and racketeering conspiracy trial—until now. On Tuesday (June 24), the Bad Boy founder broke his silence in court for the first time, addressing both the judge and his decision regarding testifying.
According to reports, Diddy stood before Judge Arun Subramanian, who asked how he was doing, and Diddy responded with a composed, “I’m doing great, how are you, your honor?” He then added, “I wanted to tell you, thank you, you’re doing an excellent job,” offering a rare moment of courtesy in a trial marked by serious and disturbing allegations.
The music mogul went on to tell the judge that he had “thoroughly” considered taking the stand in his own defense, but ultimately decided against it. “That is solely my decision,” he clarified, putting to rest any speculation about behind-the-scenes influence from his legal team.
With testimony concluded, the jurors were dismissed for the day and instructed to return on Thursday, when closing arguments are expected to begin. The high-stakes trial, which has already drawn national attention and divided public opinion, is now entering its final stretch—setting the stage for what could be a landmark verdict in the music industry.
