Ye makes surprise appearance at Sean ‘Diddy' Combs sex-trafficking trial
Sean "Diddy" Combs listening on June 13, in a courtroom sketch, as lawyer Marc Agnifilo makes arguments. PHOTO: REUTERS NEW YORK - Ye made a surprise appearance at Sean 'Diddy' Combs' criminal trial on June 13, expressing support for his fellow rapper as he defends against sex-trafficking charges. Dressed all in white, Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, arrived at the Manhattan federal courthouse in a Maybach, and entered through a public entrance. Ye nodded when asked by a reporter whether he was there to support Combs. He left the courthouse about 35 minutes later. Combs, 55, has pleaded not guilty to sex trafficking and racketeering conspiracy charges, and if convicted could face life in prison. He has been held in a Brooklyn jail since his September arrest. Ye has also faced controversy for antisemitic and pro-Nazi remarks, prompting businesses such as Adidas to sever ties. He appeared shortly after a Homeland Security special agent completed testimony about firearms and other items that law enforcement found in a March 2024 raid of Combs' Los Angeles home. Jonathan Perez, a former personal assistant to Combs, testified after the agent. During a trial break, outside the jury's presence, prosecutor Maurene Comey renewed her complaint about Combs' 'nodding emphatically' at times about testimony he agreed with, on concern his gestures might influence jurors. Combs allegedly made similar gestures during testimony last week. Brian Steel, one of Combs' lawyers, denied that his client's in-court conduct was improper. US District Judge Arun Subramanian, who oversees the trial, said he would try to watch for inappropriate gestures, but that it was normal to react to testimony and 'impossible to police' everyone. Prosecutors are expected to continue their case next week, after which Combs' legal team can begin his defence. REUTERS Join ST's Telegram channel and get the latest breaking news delivered to you.

Singaporeans can use SG Culture Pass credits for over 200 arts and heritage events from September, Lifestyle News
Locals can look forward to immersing themselves even more into the nation's arts and heritage scene later this year. Singaporeans will be able to use their $100 SG Culture Pass credits on at least 200 arts and heritage programmes when it launches in September, the Ministry of Culture, Community and Youth (MCCY) announced today (June 13). This will include a variety of activities and events ranging from performances and tours to exhibitions and workshops, and will provide a total ticket capacity of more than 700,000. The full list of SG Culture Pass offerings will be available on the official website at from September and will be updated regularly to reflect new programmes. MCCY will also continue to accept programme applications from the arts and heritage sector. The deadline to submit applications to be part of the first wave of programmes launched under the SG Culture Pass is June 30, and new programmes will be considered on a rolling basis until 2028. The SG Culture Pass initiative was first announced in February during Prime Minister Lawrence Wong's Budget 2025 speech, in which the government announced that every Singaporean aged 18 and above will receive $100 worth of SG Culture Pass credits to offset ticket costs to local arts and heritage events. The initiative is to encourage attendance for local arts and heritage activities. View this post on Instagram A post shared by The Intan (@theintansg) Some examples of activities and programmes under the SG Culture Pass include The Intan Tea Experience, a heritage learning tour where participants can experience Peranakan culture through its collections and sampling Nyonya kuehs in a private museum with founder Alvin Yapp. Another is HeyCyann's Jrawing with Jagua workshop on beginner-friendly jagua semi-permanent tattoo art. For those who enjoy sitting back and enjoying the show, there's also Nam Hwa Opera Limited's The Legend of White Snake theatre performance, where four major Chinese opera genres are combined to tell the Chinese classic love story of a white snake spirit and mortal man. Semarak Seni 2025 is a dance performance by Sri Warisan Som Said Performing Arts. Singapore Chinese Cultural Centre (SCCC) will also offer programmes and workshops for both young and old. For the seniors, their Happy Sing Along music concert will happen twice each month and will feature Mandarin and dialect songs performed by local artistes. SCCC will also have a regular series of activities and workshops to encourage family bonding and help them learn the Chinese language like an Egg Tart Making Workshop and Gift of Theatre Parent-Child Bonding Workshop. SG Culture Pass currently has five authorised ticketing partners: BookMyShow, Sistic, GlobalTix, Klook and Pelago. David Neo, Acting Minister for Culture, Community and Youth and Senior Minister of State for Education, said in a statement that he is "very heartened that various arts and heritage partners have enthusiastically participated in the SG Culture pass initiative". "Together, we can make Singapore arts and heritage flourish and thrive even more," he added. [[nid:716075]]
