Why Did Michael B. Jordan Come Up In The Closing Arguments At Diddy's Trial Anyway?

Sean "Diddy" Combs talks about meeting The Notorious B.I.G., while Michael B. Jordan stars as Smoke in Sinners.

Following weeks of testimony, Sean Combs’ sex-trafficking trial concluded on July 2 in New York. The 55-year-old rapper – who’s famously known as Diddy – was handed a mixed verdict, which saw him acquitted of two of the more serious charges he was facing. Ahead of the verdict being delivered, Combs’ legal team briefly shared closing remarks. Interestingly enough, fan-favorite actor Michael B. Jordan was brought up during that address. With that, we have details on why Jordan's name was reportedly evoked.

Diddy’s legal team utilized some unconventional strategies when it came time for them to make their case. Most notably, the group laid out their arguments in less than a half hour, which greatly differs from the week-long case presented by the prosecution. As noted by People, Diddy’s attorney, Marc Agnifilo, became very lively while arguing against the claims that the rapper sex-trafficked his former girlfriend, Cassie Ventura, and a Jane Doe.
