50 Cent slams Diddy after Cassie's bombshell testimony: ‘Crazier than regular crazy'
The trial, which kicked off with jury selection on May 5 in Manhattan, made waves this week when the embattled record producer's ex-girlfriend, Cassie Ventura, took the stand to testify as a witness in the case.
She alleged that the rapper forced her to participate in 'freak-offs' during their on-again, off-again relationship from 2007 to 2018.

Although Ventura, 38, testified that she didn't want to get into the baby oil-filled pool, the singer said that she did because she feared how Diddy would react if she refused.
'Something that Sean wanted to happen, that's what was going to happen,' Cassie said on the witness stand Tuesday, per People.

Shortly after Diddy was arrested on federal racketeering, sex trafficking, and transportation to engage in prostitution charges in September, the 'P.I.M.P.' rapper again took to Instagram.
'Here I am keeping good company with [The Drew Barrymore Show],' he wrote. 'And I don't have 1,000 bottles of lube at the house.'

In the unsealed indictment following Diddy's arrest, prosecutors claimed that federal agents discovered upwards of 1,000 bottles of baby oil when raiding the record exec's Miami and LA homes in March 2024.
Diddy's defense attorney, Teny Geragos, acknowledged the 'I'll Be Missing You' rapper's 'love of baby oil' on Monday during opening statements.
'You may know of his love of baby oil,' Geragos said to the jury. 'Is that a federal crime? No.'

Meanwhile, Cassie's testimony at Diddy's federal trial came after she sued the disgraced rapper for sexual abuse in November 2023 – although the pair settled the lawsuit for a staggering $20 million just one day later.
Her claims in court this week also come nearly one year after CNN released a shocking surveillance video of Diddy assaulting the 'Long Way 2 Go' singer in the hallway of a Century City, Calif., hotel in 2016.
She testified about that incident after prosecutors shared the full video with the jury on Wednesday.

'How many times had Sean thrown you to the ground like that before?' Emily Johnson, one of the prosecutors in the case, asked Ventura.
'Too many to count,' Ventura, who is currently eight weeks pregnant, responded.

BBC to stop showing 'high risk' performances after Bob Vylan controversy
The BBC has announced it will no longer show live broadcasts of "high-risk" performances due to the controversy surrounding Bob Vylan's gig at Glastonbury. The punk-rap duo led the crowd in chants of "death, death to the IDF [Israel Defence Forces]" at the Somerset music festival this year. Afterwards, this saw a lot of criticism aimed at the group, with Prime Minister Keir Starmer calling it "appalling hate speech". The BBC were criticised for broadcasting the gig live on BBC iPlayer and has since apologised. BBC: BBC prioritised Bob Vylan's set being on iPlayer or Sounds, but a live feed did remain until 8pm whilst the team worked on tech solution. "We are taking actions to ensure proper accountability for those found to be responsible for those failings in the live broadcast." — Scott Bryan (@scottygb) July 3, 2025 In a statement, the broadcaster said that "clear that errors were made both in the lead-up to and during Bob Vylan's appearance." The BBC explained the duo were deemed "high risk" following an assessment process applied to all acts appearing at Glastonbury, Sky News reports. However, they were deemed suitable for live streaming with "appropriate mitigations". They continued: "Prior to Glastonbury, a decision was taken that compliance risks could be mitigated in real time on the live stream - through the use of language or content warnings - without the need for a delay. This was clearly not the case." The corporation added that it would make "immediate changes to livestreaming music events", including no longer broadcasting performances deemed high risk live. The BBC has said that it regrets not pulling the live stream of punk-rap duo Bob Vylan's Glastonbury performance and said the group's comments were 'antisemitic' and 'utterly unacceptable'. — Channel 4 News (@Channel4News) June 30, 2025 In a statement, BBC director general Tim Davie also said he "deeply regrets that such offensive and deplorable behaviour appeared on the BBC". He continued: "We are unequivocal that there can be no place for antisemitism at the BBC. I and everyone need to ensure that the BBC is a role model for inclusivity and tolerance and we all have a part to play." Bob Vylan responded to the outcry in a post on Instagram on Tuesday (July 1), saying they had been "targeted for speaking up". "We are not for the death of Jews, Arabs or any other race or group of people. We are for the dismantling of a violent military machine," they said. They added that "we, like those in the spotlight before us, are not the story. We are a distraction from the story, and whatever sanctions we receive will be a distraction". BREAKING: Bob Vylan, the duo who led an anti-IDF chant at Glastonbury, have been dropped from Radar Festival in Manchester 📺 Sky 501, Virgin 602, Freeview 233 and YouTube — Sky News (@SkyNews) July 2, 2025 A criminal investigation into Bob Vylan's performance has already been launched by Avon and Somerset Police. Alongside that, another criminal investigation from the same police force is set to assess Kneecap's Glastonbury performance.

Diddy Verdict Explained By A Lawyer
Yesterday, Sean "Diddy" Combs was found guilty on two federal charges of transportation for purposes of prostitution. However, he was acquitted of the more serious charges: Racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking by force, fraud, or coercion. The not-guilty verdicts might come as a surprise to those who have tangentially been keeping up with the case. So, BuzzFeed spoke to attorney Adante Pointer (Pointer and Buelna) for his perspective. In short, Pointer thinks that the charges were an "overreach" by the federal government. "If the government had brought a case for domestic violence or for being a batterer or an abuser, I think he would have been convicted, hands down. It wouldn't have been much of a fight for that, but that's not what they charged him with," he explained. However, Pointer notes that these lesser convictions are typically handled on a state level, where the statute of limitations may have already passed: "There wasn't going to be a state case, and the only way that they could get any accountability or a criminal charge against any would have been in federal court." So let's start with the racketeering charge. According to Pointer, the prosecution essentially tried to argue that "Diddy and his employees essentially had a criminal enterprise that they used to conduct crime-the crime here being sex trafficking and essentially forcing or coercing women to engage in sexual conduct." He said that the law was created to deal with "hardened, established gangsters" who run mafia-style businesses under a front. Pointer says the charge ran into two issues. Firstly, no one else was charged in the "conspiracy," which by definition must incIude another person. Secondly, he said that any sexual misconduct was not the "primary job or the primary purpose of the business enterprise." Then there's the sex trafficking. "Most people think about those charges in America against what we would call a 'pimp,' someone who essentially is holding people against their will and forcing them to go have sexual activities with the people. The johns or the customers pay the pimp, and the women or the kids or the men never receive any money for their services," Pointer explained. "Sexual slavery is another term that can be used for that." It's likely that the prosecution's evidence of the purported victims expressing interest in participating in the "freak-offs" was successful in getting Diddy acquitted on the sex trafficking charges. Pointer reasoned, "We can be against sexual and relationship violence, but we can also be supportive of the rule of law and making sure that people are appropriately charged for what they actually violated." The prostitution charges come from the 1910 Mann Act, which Pointer called "vague" and an "easy law to be prosecuted by." As the law stems from a hysteria over "white slavery," Pointer explained, "All it takes is for you to have paid some money or someone to travel to engage in a consensual sexual act. It does not require coercion. It does not require force. It doesn't require any of the things that you would think of for it to be a federal charge." As for what happens next, Pointer thinks that Diddy's lack of previous criminal convictions and philanthropic history will be used to essentially get him a "slap on the wrist." He added, "I think he'll just get probation and be given credit for the time that he's already served in jail."
