Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs Shut Down by Judge in Last-Minute Trial Delay Bid

Claire Martin Published April 18, 2025

Sean “Diddy” Combs will face trial as scheduled after a federal judge denied his legal team’s request to postpone proceedings. The hip-hop mogul appeared in a Manhattan courtroom on Friday, April 18, where U.S. District Judge Arun Subramanian made it clear the trial will go forward on its original date of May 5.

Combs’ defense team argued that prosecutors had been slow to provide key materials following an updated indictment filed earlier this month. However, Judge Subramanian dismissed their concerns, stating there was no clear reason why additional preparation time was needed.

“It’s unclear why there isn’t sufficient time to prepare,” the judge remarked.

The 54-year-old music executive and founder of Bad Boy Records is facing serious federal charges, including sex trafficking and racketeering—offenses that could potentially lead to a life sentence if he is convicted.

Attempt to Suppress Video Evidence

On the same day as his court appearance, Combs filed a motion to suppress a controversial video that allegedly shows him physically assaulting his former girlfriend, Cassie Ventura, during a 2016 hotel incident. The footage, recently aired by CNN, has stirred public attention and may play a crucial role in the trial.

Combs’ lawyers contend the video was “altered, manipulated, sped up, and edited to be out of sequence,” and they further claim the original recording was destroyed. However, CNN has pushed back, stating the footage remains unaltered and the original is still in the possession of the source.

What’s Next for Diddy?

Combs has pleaded not guilty to all charges and continues to be held without bail at MDC-Brooklyn, where he has remained since his arrest last year. With the trial date set and efforts to suppress evidence underway, the next few weeks will be critical in determining the direction of this high-profile case.

As legal proceedings move forward, all eyes remain on the courtroom, where one of the music industry’s most influential figures is preparing to defend his name against career-defining allegations.
