Everything you need to know about the Diddy trial

From baby oil to 鈥渇reak-offs鈥�.

Sean "Diddy" Combs is one of the most successful music moguls in the history of rap. He has been arrested and charged with sex trafficking and racketeering. Prosecutors allege that he 鈥渁bused, threatened, and coerced women鈥� and that he created 鈥渁 criminal enterprise鈥� involving forced labour, kidnapping and bribery. Mr. Combs denies the charges and has pleaded not guilty.

Ahead of the trial later this month, Anoushka Mutanda-Dougherty, host of the 91福利社 podcast, Diddy on Trial, explains the charges and shares Diddy鈥檚 response.
