Rapper P. Diddy was denied a two-month trial postponement.

In the United States, a judge rejected the request of rapper P. Diddy (real name Sean Combs), accused of sexual assault and human trafficking, to postpone the trial in his case for two months. This was reported on April 18 by NBC News.

"On Friday, a federal judge rejected Sean "Diddy" Combs' request to delay the trial in the case of human trafficking for sexual exploitation for two months," the material says.

It is clarified that the postponement of the meeting was necessary for the rapper to better prepare his defense. One of the musician's lawyers, Mark Agnifilo, said he would seek a two-week postponement for his client.

On September 17, 2024, rapper P. Diddy was taken into custody in New York by court order. It was clarified that in 2023, P. Diddy's ex-girlfriend accused him of human trafficking and years of violence. On the day of his arrest, the rapper was charged with organizing prostitution and human trafficking. A court hearing to consider Combs' case is scheduled for May 5, 2025.

On April 3, a new sexual assault lawsuit was filed against P. Diddy. On April 4, prosecutors filed two more charges against rapper P. Diddy. The additional charges relate to a man identified as "victim 2," bringing the total number of charges against Combs to five.
