Sean “Diddy” Combs appeared in court on December 18, 2024, for a federal hearing regarding his ongoing legal case, where he has been facing serious charges including racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking. Reporter Elizabeth Millner, who attended the proceedings, noted a stark contrast between Diddy’s usual luxurious persona and his appearance after spending nearly three months at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn. She observed that he looked “astonishingly thinner” and “grayer,” which painted a different picture from the confident and energetic figure he was known to be.
However, a close source to Diddy painted a more positive picture, describing him as “fit, healthy, and fully focused” on his defense. The source emphasized that Diddy has remained active, working out regularly, and staying in good spirits despite the challenging circumstances.
At the hearing, Diddy’s sons, Christian and Justin, were present and showed their support, though they kept a low profile. Diddy smiled and waved at them during the proceedings, indicating the importance of family during this tumultuous time.
Despite pleading not guilty to the charges, Diddy has been denied bail three times and is facing the possibility of a lengthy prison sentence if convicted, with the trial scheduled for May 5, 2025. The next hearing will take place on March 17, 2025.
