Every celebrity mentioned during Sean ‘Diddy' Combs' sex-trafficking trial — and why
Several celebrities have already been mentioned during Sean 'Diddy' Combs' sex-trafficking trial since it started on May 5. Kanye West, Michael B. Jordan, Kid Cudi and Mike Myers were among the first celebrities spoken of when the trial kicked off in New York City's Manhattan federal court. While the group wasn't accused of any wrongdoing, they were among the names jurors were warned might be talked about. Combs' ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura also took the stand, naming several celebrities. She recalled how the music mogul allegedly abused her during their on-again, off-again romance from 2007 to 2018. Below, read about every celebrity mentioned to date. West, mentioned during jury selection on May 5, has been in Combs' corner since the latter's September 2024 arrest. The 'Heartless' rapper, who hasn't been accused of wrongdoing, released a new track, featuring his daughter North West and Combs, titled 'Lonely Roads Still Go to Sunshine' on March 15. A few days later, he shared a prerecorded phone conversation with the Bad Boys Records founder via social media. At the time, Combs warned Kanye to 'be careful' of people trying to 'end' him, and thanked the 'Bound 2' crooner for looking after his seven children. Myers was also named during jury selection, though he's not accused of anything. The 'Saturday Night Live' alum's relationship with Combs is unknown. Michelle Williams was also name-dropped during jury selection. The Destiny's Child alum wasn't accused of any wrongdoing. Jordan hasn't been accused of any crimes, but was mentioned during jury selection. He famously dated Ventura in 2016 during the her break from Combs. When Ventura took the stand on May 13, she recalled her decade-long romance with Combs. The 'Me & U' singer alleged the 'Last Night' crooner would have her participate in sex and drug-filled parties called 'Freak-Offs,' starting when she was 22 years old. When asked how long the parties would last, the hitmaker responded, 'significant periods of time … the longest was four days.' Ventura claimed that the 'Freak-Offs' left her with 'a lot of stomach issues and gastrointestinal issues from taking drugs.' Ventura also alleged that Combs would often abuse her by hitting her on the head, knocking her down and stomping on her if she was down. She alleged her ex would tell her to 'fix [her] face or watch [her] mouth' before 'hitting' her face. An unedited video of Combs abusing Ventura at the InterContinental Hotel in Century City, Calif., in 2016, was released during the trial. When Ventura testified, she mentioned she got together with the 'I'll Be Missing You' rapper while he was with the late Kim Porter. The 'Me & U' singer alleged her sexual relationship with Combs started 'many years' before they took their romance public in 2007. 'He just didn't want it to look bad, but also knew it was because of his children and personal things like his family,' Ventura claimed, per JustJared. Porter and Combs, who shared three kids, started dating in the '90s and split in 2007. She died in 2018 from pneumonia. Drake was named in Ventura's testimony, claiming she was abused by Combs ahead of attending the Canadian rapper's 2013 OVO Festival in Toronto. Ventura still attended the festival and was seen with French Montana. She recalled having to style her hair in a particular way to hide an alleged injury. Ventura returned to testify on May 14 and mentioned Prince. The 'Is It You' singer recalled how she went to the 'Kiss' singer's private concert in the basement of his Los Angeles home. She recalled the 'once in a lifetime experience' and claimed she didn't tell Combs she would be attending. 'He would have definitely not let me go,' Ventura said. Ventura alleged to have seen Combs shortly after arriving. She claimed to have 'caught a glimpse of him and [she] ran out as fast as [she] could.' 'I knew he was angry at me,' she testified, alleging how he went to the hotel where she was staying and beat her. Ventura recalled meeting Kid Cudi — born Scott Mescudi — in December 2011. The 'Official Girl' singer claimed not to have told Combs about her romance with the 'Day 'n' Nite' singer, explaining they weren't in a good place. Combs, however, allegedly found out about Ventura's fling during a 'Freak-Off' when he went through her phone. He allegedly retaliated by grabbing a wine bottle opener and threatening her.

Kanye West storms out of Piers Morgan interview — again
Kanye West stormed out of an interview with Piers Morgan interview Tuesday, just as he did in 2023. The 47-year-old 'Heartless' rapper, who now legally goes by Ye, appeared alongside pal Sneako on Morgan's 'Uncensored,' speaking from Mallorca, Spain. Ye accused the BBC broadcaster, 60, of trying to 'take inches off my d–' when Morgan referred to his 32 million X followers. Morgan ultimately corrected this to 33 million — Ye's follower count sits at 33.3 million, at present. 'I'm a gift,' said Ye. 'Why do all you people in media act like you haven't played my songs at your weddings or graduations or funerals or when your child was born? You take somebody that's living, like a Lennon or a Michael Jackson, and you take all this time to just like— that nuance right there, it's idiotic. It just shows the hate you put out there for people who put love. There's so much love—' Morgan cut in: 'With all due respect, Ye, what are you talking about? I haven't said anything?' 'OK, now you're not taking accountability, or responsibility. … Sir, this is what you get for now. We can circle back when you can count,' said Ye, before walking off-screen. This left Sneako, who Morgan would later dub 'Andrew Tate lite' to say, 'That's it for Ye.' Sneako insisted that Morgan was 'trying to patronize, very intentionally' when the broadcaster initially referred to Ye as Kanye West and cited the wrong follower count. Morgan challenged this, reminding Sneako that he and Ye 'd–ed us around yesterday,' having blown off the initially scheduled interview. 'You kept all my crew in Spain, and here, waiting and then wasted their time. And you got us all back now, and you've wasted our time again,' said Morgan. Given Morgan couldn't ask Ye the intended questions, he directed them at Sneako: 'What is his obsession with Hitler? Why is he so rampantly antisemitic?' Sneako refused to answer on behalf of Ye and repeatedly dodged questions about his own comfort being associated with someone who was, later that today, dropping a track called 'Heil, Hitler.' Instead, Sneako insisted Ye 'says he loves everyone. He says he loves Jews. He says he loves Hitler,' and walked off himself. ___ © 2025 New York Daily News.

Kanye West sues dentist, claims nitrous oxide abuse affected marriage
Kanye West says he became addicted to nitrous oxide, and intends to sue his former dentist for enabling the rapper's own 'unsupervised' use of N2O gas, which Ye says affected his relationship with Bianca Censori. Lawyers for the 47-year-old 'Heartless' rapper sent a notice of intention to sue Dr. Thomas P. Connelly, whose 'inappropriate' actions they say caused physical, psychological and financial issues, according to TMZ. Ye's attorneys say Connelly 'engaged in numerous inappropriate and dangerous practices that were far outside the bounds of any legitimate medical purpose or standard of care,' the outlet reports. That allegedly includes giving Ye ample amounts of the gas for non-medical purposes, as well as enabling and encouraging him to self-administer nitrous — or charging West for it — even as the rapper displayed 'adverse neurological and behavioral signs,' including dependency on the gas. This allegedly affected Ye's ability to provide companionship to wife Censori, from whom he reportedly split earlier this year. Ye's lawyers claim Connelly started treating the Yeezy designer in early 2024, but upon seeing said dependency, stopped treating the Grammy winner 'without a proper transition,' according to TMZ. Back in August, Connelly denied allegations he sold Ye nitrous for recreational use, claims made by the rapper's former chief of staff, ex-Breitbart editor Milo Yiannopoulos, who reportedly parted ways with Ye in May 2024. Ye's erratic and offensive behavior, including antisemitic and racist screeds, far predate when he says he became a patient of Connelly's. Ye and Censori sparked reconciliation rumors in recent weeks when they spent time together dining out and shopping at a Spanish sex store. The notice to Connelly comes on the heels of more bizarre behavior from Ye, who last week claimed he and his cousin shared an incestuous relationship as kids.
