Sean 'Diddy' Combs Is Currently Reading This Book While On Trial
If you're wondering what Sean 'Diddy' Combs is reading to keep his mind clear as he faces sex trafficking and racketeering charges, journalist Emilie Hagen has the answer. Attending the trial as a court reporter, Hagen took to her Instagram page Thursday to reveal that she 'spoke to Diddy' in the courtroom as he walked in with a book and took his seat with the defense. As he turned around to acknowledge the room, Hagen asked what he was reading, and he proceeded to hold up the tome for the room to see. 'He grabs the book and then he shows it to me then shows it to everyone else,' she shared. 'It was The Magic Of Believing, a book about how to use the power of the mind to tap into reality, to help manifest different thoughts and actions. 'It's like a self-help book that I would read,' she added. In a follow-up post, Hagen shared her belief that Diddy reading the book, which is properly titled The Magic Of Believing: The Classic Guide To Unlocking The Power of Your Mind, is an indication that he's trying to 'manifest his verdict.' If you're curious enough, you can pick up a copy via Amazon here. Since his September 2024 arrest, Combs has been jailed at Brooklyn's Metropolitan Detention Center, where he'll remain throughout his trial, which officially began in early May. The Bad Boy Records founder has denied all charges against him. If found guilty, he could face 15 years to life in prison.

Sean Combs reading self-help book during trial
Sean 'Diddy' Combs is reading a self-help book during his trial. The 55-year-old disgraced music mogul is in the midst of New York court hearings after he was charged with federal offences including sex trafficking and racketeering, and he has been seen carrying a self-help book titled The Magic of Believing into court. He was spotted with the tome by journalist Emilie Hagen, who is covering Combs' ongoing trial in Brooklyn. Writing on Instagram on Thursday (12,06.25), Emilie said she briefly spoke with Combs as he entered the courtroom and took his place at the defence table. She said: 'He grabs the book and then he shows it to me then shows it to everyone else. 'It was The Magic Of Believing, a book about how to use the power of the mind to tap into reality, to help manifest different thoughts and actions. It's like a self-help book that I would read.' The reporter later posted a follow-up suggesting that Combs may be 'trying to manifest his verdict' by reading the book, whose full title is The Magic Of Believing: The Classic Guide To Unlocking The Power of Your Mind. Combs, the founder of Bad Boy Records, was arrested in September 2024. He has been held without bail at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn ever since. His trial formally began in May 2025. Combs faces a number of serious federal charges, including sex trafficking and racketeering, stemming from a multi-agency investigation that reportedly involved surveillance, financial records and witness testimony. Prosecutors allege Combs oversaw a criminal enterprise that exploited women and engaged in widespread criminal activity. He has denied all charges and has pleaded not guilty. If convicted, Combs could face a sentence ranging from 15 years to life in prison. Combs' trial on Thursday (12.06.25) heard an account of an orgy with an unnamed 'famous rapper'. His ex-girlfriend and one of his accusers – who goes by the name 'Jane' to protect her anonymity – told jurors about an alleged January 2024 trip to Las Vegas in which she claims to have partied with an unnamed rapper, his girlfriend and a male escort. Describing the rapper's behaviour at the alleged party, she said: 'He said he'd always had a crush on me.' The 44-year-old woman has accused Combs of forcing her into unwanted sexual encounters with male escorts during their relationship. Her testimony is central to the federal sex trafficking and racketeering conspiracy case against the music mogul.

Diddy trial live updates: Ex-girlfriend ‘Jane' cross-examined in Sean Combs's sex-trafficking case
Sean Combs held a small orange book in court Tuesday, raising plenty of curiosity about the title. He was reading 'The Magic of Believing' by Claude M. Bristol, according to people with knowledge of his reading habits, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to give details. First published in 1948 to help soldiers returning from World War II process their trauma, the book describes itself as an exploration of 'the secrets behind harnessing the unlimited energies of the subconscious.'
