Sean 'Diddy' Combs, the renowned hip-hop mogul, made his first appearance before Judge Arun Subramanian at Manhattan federal court in relation to the sex trafficking charges brought against him. Combs, 54, has pleaded not guilty to charges including racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking dating back to 2008.
The hearing aimed to establish deadlines for the submission of arguments from both the defense and prosecution, setting the stage for a trial that Combs' legal team hopes to commence in April or May. Prosecutors have not indicated a preference for the trial timeline.
