Identity of mystery rapper dominates 22nd day of Diddy's trial as jury hears he watched male escort sex show with wife and flirted with Diddy's ex 'Jane'
A mystery rapper dominated the 22nd day of Diddy 's trial, even though he was never identified in court.
The jury was told about the ultra-famous hip hop artist and his wife watching a male escort have sex in front of their friends and Diddy's ex-girlfriend, referred to only as 'Jane'.
The rapper, described in court as an 'icon' of the music industry, flirted with Jane while watching the sexual performance at a hotel in Las Vegas in January 2024.
The unnamed individual said he was part of 'the lifestyle' meaning that he liked having more than one sexual partner - and even asked for a recommendation of a porn star for future shows.
Speculation about the rapper's identity overshadowed the cross examination of Jane, who claims she was forced to take part in Freak Offs - where she had sex with male escorts for Diddy's pleasure - during their three-year relationship, which ended with his arrest in September in 2024.
Diddy, 55, whose real name is Sean Combs, denies sex trafficking, racketeering and other charges.
Jane has previously testified to taking a trip to Las Vegas in January 2024 while on a break from Diddy.
She said she flew on the mystery rapper's private plane with several others and went to a play, dinner and then a strip club.
Jane described the rapper as an 'icon' in the music industry and recounted one time where he allegedly said was a part of 'the lifestyle' meaning that he liked having more than one sexual partner - and even asked for a recommendation of a porn star for future shows
The trip was to celebrate the rapper's wife's birthday, the court has heard.
Among the group out for the night was a porn star called Anton who had previously been hired by Diddy to have sex with Jane for Freak Offs.
Later that night, Jane went to a hotel room with the rapper and his wife and saw Anton having sex with another woman while they all watched.
In court on Thursday, Diddy's lawyer Teny Geragos asked Jane if the rapper in question is 'very close to Mr. Combs'.
Jane said: 'Yes.'
After showing Jane a picture of the rapper – it was not shown to the public gallery – Geragos asked: 'Is it fair to say Mr. Combs and this individual were really close to one another?'
Jane replied: 'Yes.'
Jane confirmed that Diddy and the rapper had recorded music together and had what Geragos called an 'ongoing professional and personal relationship?
Asked if the rapper was an 'icon in the music industry', Jane said yes.
Jane admitted that she knew Anton had a relationship with the rapper and that he would travel with him and his wife.
Turning to the hotel room, Jane said: 'Anton was having sex with a woman and everyone was watching.'
Jane said that Anton and the woman were on the bed and there were seven or eight people watching.
While Jane admitted to 'flirting' with the rapper, she said nothing else happened. She confirmed that she flashed her breasts as she felt like doing it 'in the moment'.
Jane said: 'He (the rapper) said he thought I was beautiful, and he always wanted to blank me', meaning have sex.
Geragos asked: 'The rapper told you he'd always had a crush on you?'
Jane said: 'Yes.'
The jury heard that the subject of Kabrale came up, referring to another porn star that Jane and Diddy used for Freak Offs.
Jane said: 'They were asking me if I knew anybody else in the lifestyle and they were looking for someone, this is why I (texted) Kabrale. If I was to recommend somebody, I would recommend somebody I knew for a while.'
According to Jane, the rapper and his wife had 'picked up the energy from me' that she had sex with other men.
'Or they assumed they'd got an inclination that me and Sean had been doing similar things,' Jane said.
Five months later, Jane finally told Diddy about the episode, and he was furious.
In texts Diddy complained about Jane 'disrespecting me with my friends'.
Jane said she was in Las Vegas 'with (the rapper), not for a Freak Off, I was with my friend'.
Geragos asked Jane if Diddy told her during a violent argument: 'How could you go to another man's Freak Off?'
Jane said yes.
Jane confirmed that Diddy felt that Anton had 'something over him'.
Earlier in her testimony, Jane recounted Diddy's reaction in more detail.
She told the court that Diddy said: 'I can't believe you cheated on me. I can't believe you went outside of us.'
Jane said: 'I understood that he was trying to reference that we were part of some sort of lifestyle and that I betrayed him by being a part of someone else's lifestyle moment, this porn type of thing.'
Diddy went on for around two hours about his sense of betrayal and that Jane was a 'whore' and a 'cheater'.
Jane said: 'He just kept saying all those same things over and over and over again, just kept saying that I was just, like, terrible.'
In court Diddy's lawyer Marc Agnifilo tried to persuade the judge to amend his order granting Jane anonymity so that the names of other people on the Las Vegas trip could be read out in court.
Doing so would allow members of the public to 'come forward' if they had information that might help the case, Agnifilo said, adding that using the names was 'important'.
Prosecutor Maurene Comey said that making the names public would be a 'pretext to harass and intimidate this witness' and that enough had been revealed already so that anyone who had information about that event could come forward.
District Judge Arun Subramanian agreed and said he wouldn't modify the order to allow the names from this episode to be used.
The episode in Las Vegas was a 'collateral issue' and not related to the sex trafficking charges, the judge said.

Alleged child sex abuse victim of Gateway Church founder Robert Morris sues him for defamation
An Oklahoma woman who accused megachurch pastor Robert Morris of sexually assaulting her as a young girl is now seeking at least $1 million from the disgraced televangelist for, among other things, slander, defamation and intentional infliction of emotional distress over his public actions in the years since. In a 39-page lawsuit filed Thursday, Cindy Clemishire, who is now 55 and working as a real estate broker, says the 63-year-old Morris, his wife Deborah, their sons and numerous church elders all conspired to cover up the 'heinous' abuse she suffered at his hands. Gateway Church, which Morris founded 25 years ago in the affluent Dallas, Texas suburb of Southlake, quickly became one of the biggest congregations in the country, drawing 100,000 or more worshipers to its weekend services. 'Defendants have made millions of dollars from Gateway Church, writing and publishing books, speaking engagements, TV shows, radio shows, [and] The King's University… while preaching about sexual immorality and redemption all while concealing the true facts of Defendant Robert Morris's sexual abuse and rape of Plaintiff, whose abuse began while she was just 12 years old,' Clemishire's complaint contends. Morris, his family and Gateway Church leadership later downplayed his alleged crimes as 'nothing more than an 'inappropriate relationship,' an 'indiscretion,' 'his transgressions,' 'his moral failures' and an 'extramarital relationship,' deceiving thousands of church parishioners and the public with a false narrative that the sexual acts performed on the plaintiff as a minor child were consensual, or even worse, solicited,' Clemishire's attorneys said in a statement released after filing the suit in Dallas County District Court on behalf of her and her father, Jerry Lee Clemishire. 'Instead,' the statement goes on, 'the lawsuit makes clear that the actions 'amounted to criminal sexual contact with a child, rape and continuous sexual abuse of a child,' for which the survivor is entitled to just compensation for damages.' In an email on Thursday, church spokeswoman Bonnie Curry told The Independent, "No comment to add from Gateway.' Morris, a former spiritual adviser to President Donald Trump, first assaulted Clemishire on December 25, 1982, when he 'demanded' that Clemishire 'get into bed with him,' according to the complaint. At the time, the 22-year-old Morris was on the road as a traveling preacher, and had become friendly with Clemishire's family. The molestation continued for another five years, with Morris insisting to Clemishire that she 'can't ever tell anyone what just happened or it will ruin everything,' the complaint states. However, in 1987, it says Clemishire confided to a friend about Morris' 'wrongful and egregious actions.' Clemishire, who was then 17, then got a call from Deborah Morris, who said she 'forgave' Clemishire for what had happened, according to the complaint. This, the filing argues, 'allud[ed] that it was [Clemishire's] fault that [Morris'] husband had sexually assaulted and raped [her].' Morris would acknowledge in a 2014 sermon that he had been "sexually immoral" during his younger days, and a decade later told The Christian Post that when he was in his early 20s, he 'was involved in inappropriate sexual behavior with a young lady in a home where I was staying.' 'It was kissing and petting and not intercourse, but it was wrong,' Morris told the publication. 'This behavior happened on several occasions over the next few years.' Over the past year, Morris has continued to defame Clemishire by claiming that 'his sexual battery, assault, and rape of [her] was an 'extramarital affair,'' implying that the pre-teen had 'initiated, sought and desired a sexual relationship' with him, her complaint maintains. 'Defendant Morris and/or other Defendants spread horrendous and damaging lies that it was Plaintiff that initiated and perpetuated these illegal acts,' the complaint states. 'Further, Defendants asserted that Plaintiffs forgave Defendant Morris, which was a lie.' In June 2024, Morris stepped down from his position at Gateway Church. His son, along with several other members of the church's board of elders, were placed on temporary leaves of absence while an outside team of investigators probed the allegations against Morris. In March 2025, an Oklahoma grand jury indicted Morris on five counts of lewd or indecent acts with a child, based on Clemishire's claims. 'After almost 43 years, the law has finally caught up with Robert Morris for the horrific crimes he committed against me as a child,' Clemishire said in a statement after the indictment was announced. 'Now, it is time for the legal system to hold him accountable. My family and I are deeply grateful to the authorities who have worked tirelessly to make this day possible and remain hopeful that justice will ultimately prevail.' Last month, Morris filed his own lawsuit against Gateway, arguing that while his behavior may have been 'inappropriate,' the church still owes him millions of dollars in severance, deferred compensation and retirement benefits. But, while church lawyers said Morris 'was laser-focused on securing his financial future,' the accusations against him amounted to a breach of contract, liberating Gateway from any previously agreed upon obligations. For her part, Clemishire is seeking actual, presumed and exemplary damages to be determined by a jury. 'We filed this lawsuit on behalf of Ms. Clemishire because, while criminal charges continue to progress, Morris and those who conspired with him deserve to be held civilly accountable for their actions as well,' attorney S. Alex Yaffe, one of the lawyers representing Clemishire, said on Thursday. 'The lawsuit and the crimes alleged speak for themselves and we look forward to seeing justice served for the Plaintiffs in this case.'

Chicago Cubs broadcast leaves viewers stunned as Justin Turner is seen engaging in lewd celebration
Chicago Cubs fans were stunned on Thursday night as their team's home broadcast showed Justin Turner engaging in an extremely lewd celebration. Turner, 40, did not appear in the game for Chicago but was dubbed the 'Fan of the Game' by Marquee Sports Network, as they showed a clip of him celebrating with outfielder Seiya Suzuki. But the veteran Turner's cheers were from from typical, as the infielder was actually seen wearing a pair of fake testicles as he jumped up and down. The 2020 World Series champion smiled wide as he pumped his arms in the air while wearing the bizarre item, and fans couldn't believe that Marquee aired the NSFW moment. 'I was like is the camera guy blind or did he do it on purpose,' one fan asked on X, including a laughing-crying emoji in their post. 'Broadcast got some balls to show that,' a second joked. Suzuki rounds the bases after hitting a home run in the bottom of the sixth inning 'For most men, it's the simple things,' a third added. And a fourth said: 'Did we just win it all?' According to the New York Post, broadcasters Boog Sciambi and Jim Deshaies went silent for about 30 seconds afterwards as they seemingly realized what had happened on the broadcast. Nonetheless, it was a positive night for the Cubs as they beat the Pirates 3-2 to move to 42-27 on the year. Turner, in his 17th MLB season, has played a reserve role for the red-hot Cubs this season, only appearing in 38 games. In 110 plate appearances, he's hitting .213 with 11 RBIs and one home run. The Cubs have three more games against Pittsburgh this weekend before they'll welcome the Brewers to town.

How The Simpsons has survived on TV after 35 years
Matt Groening, creator of The Simpsons, believes early controversy surrounding the show, including bans and backlash over risque content, ultimately benefited its popularity by making it seem "exotic" and "forbidden." Groening highlighted an incident where Bart Simpson Underachiever T-shirts were banned in schools, contributing to the show's notoriety. Groening believes The Simpsons' longevity is due to its ability to tell stories and incorporate jokes across various mediums, including comics, video games, and merchandise. Showrunner Matt Selman hopes the eventual final episode will be "a really good story about the family," avoiding a typical, sentimental series finale. Selman mentioned a spoof 'finale' in 2024 that used AI to imagine an ending, inspired by the difficulty of creating a satisfactory conclusion to the long-running series.
