Best has now been out of the gang life for many years and leads a football league for kids in LA.

On Tuesday September 17, Sean “Diddy” Combs appeared in a Manhattan federal court. The 54-year old Bad Boy mogul had a decades-long history of dodging major criminal allegations, but the time had come for him to face the music regarding some very serious felony charges. In a 14-page indictment, prosecutors alleged Combs used his music empire to transport women and male prostitutes across states and forced them to perform demeaning sexual acts while he masturbated and recorded what he called “Freak Off” parties. Prosecutors went on to say they had found 1000 bottles of baby oil - and lube - during their raid of the rapper’s home. On October 1st, Texas attorney Tony Buzbee made a bombshell announcement that he will represent 120 victims in lawsuits against Diddy. Buzbee added 25 of the alleged 120 victims are minors, the youngest 9-years old at the time of the incident.  In the fourth episode of this special series of The Trial, DailyMail.com’s West Coast News Editor Marjorie Hernandez and guests look at Combs’ ever-mounting business troubles, consider the statements by Cassia Ventura and Denise Richard and ask if Diddy’s seemingly unlimited power and super elevated status have contributed to his downfall. Guests Lisa Bloom is a Los Angeles based civil rights attorney known for representing sexual assault victims against celebrity defendents like Bill Cosby. Gerrick Kennedy is an author and former Los Angeles Times reporter. Greg Kading is a retired LAPD homicide detective. In 2006 he was recruited to reinvestigate the murder Christopher Wallace, AKA Biggie Smalls. Lou Shapiro is a state and federal criminal law attorney based in Los Angeles.

Sean “Diddy” Combs managed to live a fully charmed life for many years, forever protected by his star power. However, his past alleged indiscretions – from his notorious temper directed towards employees and paparazzi to dodging criminal charges stemming from an infamous Manhattan nightclub shooting incident that wounded three people – would ultimately come back to haunt him. By 2006, Combs had rebranded three times - from Puff Daddy to P. Diddy to Diddy - but the luster of Bad Boy as a platinum record hit making machine was long gone and while the label still had bankable acts like Machine Gun Kelly, French Montana and Janelle Monet, it was no longer the money-making juggernaut it had been in the early aughts. Puff’s Icon Era was coming to a calamitous end. In the third episode of this special series of The Trial, DailyMail.com’s West Coast News Editor Marjorie Hernandez covers Combs’ ever-mounting business troubles, his multiple law-suits and the growing allegations around his alleged dark and abusive sexual encounters known as “freak offs”. Guests Gerrick Kennedy is an author and former Los Angeles Times reporter. Pam Lewis-Rudden is music licensing specialist. She worked for Diddy as his assistant at Uptown Records in the early 1990s Mark Curry is an author, rapper and artist who was signed to Bad Boy Records by Diddy in 1997. Lou Shapiro is a state and federal criminal law attorney based in Los Angeles.

Sean “Diddy” Combs' meteoric rise to fame also brought a huge weight of controversies. As his past alleged indiscretions began to catch up with him, multiple former employees began detailing his alleged abusive behaviour. But the most explosive allegations came from his long-time partner, Cassie Ventura who, in 2023, filed a federal lawsuit alleging Diddy raped and abused her for years. The truly shocking and violent video that emerged not only rocked the world - it spelled the beginning of the end of Combs’ multi-million dollar empire.  In the second episode this special series of The Trial, DailyMail.com’s West Coast News Editor Marjorie Hernandez covers Combs’ explosive rise through the music industry, the East Coast vs West Coast tensions that led to the tragic deaths of Biggie and Tupac, Diddy’s extravagant White Parties and more, never losing focus on the individual at the heart of it all whose seemingly impenetrable protective bubble was about to be cracked, revealing the Bad Boy for who, some say, he really is. Guests Greg Kading is a retired LAPD homicide detective. In 2006 he was recruited to reinvestigate the murder Christopher Wallace, AKA Biggie Smalls. Gerrick Kennedy is an author and former Los Angeles Times reporter.

On the night of Monday September 16, 2024 music business mogul, hip hop pioneer and cultural icon Sean “Diddy” Combs was taken into custody in New York. Just one day later Combs was inside a federal courthouse in downtown Manhattan. He has since been denied bail. Prosecutors are alleging that he created and ran a “criminal enterprise” via a business empire that engaged in sex trafficking, forced labour, kidnapping, arson, bribery and obstruction of justice. On September 27, new sexual assault allegations arose when a woman filed a lawsuit in New York saying she was repeatedly raped and drugged at Diddy’s homes - becoming pregnant after one of the encounters. On Tuesday October 1, Houston-based attorney Tony Buzbee launched a class action lawsuit saying more the than 50 alleged victims he’s representing have "gut-wrenching" stories about what went down at the alleged "freak offs”. Buzbee alleges "mind-boggling" violations alongside "debauchery and depravity, exacted by powerful people." In the first episode of this special series of The Trial, DailyMail.com’s West Coast News Editor Marjorie Hernandez breaks down how Combs’ rise up through the music industry saw him grow from a teenager obsessed with hip hop and street style into a man whose endless funds, fame and power unleashed what some say was a terrifyingly abusive side.
