Jury hits pause on Diddy's destiny: Racketeering charge has them shook, judge says ‘keep it moving'
Jury drama unfolds in Diddy trial as racketeering charge stalls verdict
This is not just another checkbox charge. Racketeering is the heavyweight, the headline-maker, the charge that could seal Diddy's fate. And right now, the jury just cannot agree.
Judge Arun Subramanian, clearly not one to let a cliffhanger linger, urged the jury to keep at it. But after a long day of deliberations, the jury foreperson politely slid a note to the bench saying, 'Yeah, we are done for today.' The judge nodded and dismissed them until 9 a.m. tomorrow, making it crystal clear: this courtroom is not closing the curtains just yet.
Diddy, deadlocked, and definitely not h
Meanwhile, Diddy sits not in a recording studio or high-rise suite, but in a holding cell at the courthouse. He has been behind bars since his headline-grabbing arrest back in September 2024. No champagne, no beats, just cold concrete and fluorescent lights at the Metropolitan Detention Centre in Brooklyn.
And get this, his cell neighbours? None other than disgraced crypto king Sam Bankman-Fried, R&B fallen star R. Kelly, and socialite-turned-felon Ghislaine Maxwell. Talk about the worst celebrity house-share ever.
In court today, Diddy reportedly sat stone-faced, barely moving, as his legal team swarmed around him. His six adult children and his mother watched quietly from behind, no music mogul power moves, just a man waiting, probably counting ceiling tiles.
Tick tock… jury's got the clock
With Independence Day (4 July) right around the corner, time is ticking. The court will not sit on the federal holiday, so unless the jury hits a breakthrough before Thursday, or maybe even Monday, this verdict might keep dragging like a bad remix.
So for now, the world waits. Will Diddy walk free? Or will racketeering be the nail in the career coffin? Stay tuned, this real-life drama is far from over.

‘Is this the stupidest yet?': Mark Zuckerberg pulls off quirky surf stunt on 4th of July, video goes viral
Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg kept up his quirky Independence Day tradition on July 4th, sharing a video of himself wakesurfing. But this time, there was a twist. Known for making the 4th of July celebration fun, Zuckerberg got into a full-body inflatable suit patterned in red, white, and blue. This year, the Fourth of July marked the 249th anniversary of the United States of America. In the video, Zuckerberg begins on a boat, looking into the camera. A message flashes across the screen, which reads, 'Is this the stupidest thing we have done so far?' He then repeats the question out loud. The video then shows him surfing on the water in his oversized, flag-themed inflatable suit. 'Happy 4th of July! US,' he captioned the video. Watch the viral video here: A post shared by Mark Zuckerberg (@zuck) The video quickly drew attention, with social media users flooding the comment section with reactions. 'The internet now requires you to one-up this challenge every year until you're holding a live eagle with fireworks shooting off the base of the board while chugging a beer in 2030,' a user wrote. 'I literally woke up this morning and asked myself what you were going to do this year to top off the last few years,' another user commented. 'Whoever taught you how to act like a human deserves a trillion dollars and to be famous sir,' a third user said. Over the past few years, Zuckerberg's stunts have been grabbing eyeballs on social media. Last year, he shared a video of himself wakesurfing while wearing a tuxedo. In one hand, he held a beer, and in the other, the American flag to the soundtrack of Bruce Springsteen's iconic song Born in the USA. In 2021, during his Fourth of July celebration, he was seen riding a surfboard in slippers, waving the US flag against a picturesque backdrop.
