Diddy’s Trial Set to Proceed as Planned After Judge Denies Delay Request.
Diddy's court case will continue as planned... after a judge ruled on his legal team's request to postpone the trial for two months—and denied any extension.

A hearing took place in New York City on Friday, where Diddy's legal team expressed concerns about the slow pace at which prosecutors were providing evidence.
They requested additional time from the judge to thoroughly review all the discovery materials. However, the judge disagreed, noting that Diddy is represented by four law firms, which should be sufficient for them to prepare for the trial set to begin on May 5.
Diddy has been incarcerated at MDC Brooklyn, a well-known federal jail in New York City, since his arrest at a Manhattan hotel in September. He faces five federal charges, including two counts of sex trafficking, two counts of transportation for prostitution, and one count of racketeering.

Diddy has pleaded not guilty to all charges, and his legal team is challenging key evidence in the case, such as a video showing Diddy assaulting Cassie in a hotel corridor.
Several alleged victims, most of whom remain anonymous, are expected to testify against Diddy during the trial, including Cassie, who will use her real name.

The judge has decided that "Victim 3" and "Victim 4" will be referred to by pseudonyms, while "Victim 2" will simply be called "Victim 2." In addition to the criminal charges, Diddy is also facing multiple civil lawsuits.
