The Diddy trial, a federal case against Sean “Diddy” Combs for sex trafficking and abuse, has become one of the most high-profile legal proceedings in recent history. And while much of the focus has remained on the testimony of his former partner, Cassie Ventura, the early stages of the trial have introduced a few other names that caught the public off guard.
As testimony unfolds in Manhattan federal court, Cassie has shared deeply detailed accounts of her relationship with Combs—alleging years of physical, sexual, and psychological abuse. But she’s not the only public figure to be mentioned in court.
Every Celebrity Mentioned in the Diddy Trial (So Far)
During jury selection and in the first days of proceedings, several familiar names surfaced—some in connection to Cassie, others through Diddy himself. While most of these mentions are not tied to allegations, their appearance in court records has raised questions and speculation online. Here’s what we know.

Kanye West
The rapper has publicly supported Diddy since his arrest in September 2024. The two even released a joint song in March 2025. Court documents revealed they stayed in contact, including one phone call where Diddy allegedly warned West about people trying to “take him down.”
Michael B. Jordan
Jordan was mentioned during jury selection—not as part of any allegation, but due to his past relationship with Cassie Ventura in 2016. His name was flagged for potential juror bias.
Kid Cudi
Cudi’s name came up during Cassie’s testimony. She stated that while she never told Diddy about her relationship with Cudi, he discovered it on his own—possibly during what she described as a “Freak-Off” party. After checking her phone, Diddy allegedly flew into a rage and threatened her with a wine bottle opener.
Mike Myers
Surprisingly, the actor’s name was also mentioned during jury selection. His connection to the case remains unclear, and he has not been accused of any wrongdoing.
Drake and French Montana
Cassie testified that Diddy assaulted her before the 2013 OVO Festival in Toronto. Despite the injuries, she still attended, altering her hairstyle to cover visible marks. At the festival, she was seen with rapper French Montana.
Kim Porter
Cassie claimed that her relationship with Diddy began while he was still involved with the late Kim Porter. She said she initially tried to keep it discreet out of respect for his children and personal life.
Cassie Ventura’s Testimony
Cassie, now 38, has been a key witness in the case. Her testimony includes harrowing details of a decade-long relationship marked by coercion, violence, and forced participation in multi-day sex parties known as “Freak-Offs.”

She described physical and emotional trauma, recurring health issues, and suicidal thoughts. One of the most disturbing pieces of evidence presented so far has been a 2016 security video showing Combs physically assaulting Cassie in a Los Angeles hotel hallway—a video that backs her long-standing claims of abuse.
