Sean ‘Diddy‘ Combs’s trial for sex trafficking and racketeering entered its fifth week on Monday in New York City after the court heard chilling voice notes from the rapper.
The disgraced music mogul, 55, is facing life in prison if convicted of the claims that he used his fame and money to coerce women and employees into sexual and criminal activities for two decades.
His ex-girlfriend, who is testifying under the pseudonym of Jane, is back on the stand after telling the jury last week that she was forced to participate in frequent sexual performances with male sex workers to please Diddy.
Jane’s testimony, which is likely to continue deep into next week, is identical in many ways to the four-day testimony in the trial’s first week by Cassie. Jane said she never wanted to have sex with other men but did it to please Diddy because she loved him.
Diddy has pleaded not guilty. His lawyers concede he could be violent, but he denies using threats or his music industry clout to commit abuse.
LISTEN: Diddy berates ex after she declines ‘freak off,’ tells her to ‘get on her job’
Prosecutors played an audio note from 2023 where Diddy tells Jane to ‘get on her job’ after she said she was not available for a freak off.
‘I’m about to really disappear on you, you feel me?’ the annoyed mogul said on the voice note, adding that Jane had a ‘rude awakening’ coming to her.
‘You better get on your job, that’s all it is,’ he said. ‘Because you got me on my job.’
Jane said she understood her job to be keeping Diddy happy, which included having sex with male escorts as the mogul watched.
Diddy’s ‘job,’ meanwhile was providing financial support for Jane by providing her $10,000 a month.

My brother was an early Diddy ‘victim’… the warning signs were there from the start
Dirk Swain was on his first night out after escaping what should have been certain death.
The 20-year-old had just recovered from being shot in the head after a college football game – and finally felt ready to embrace his second chance at life.
But as he stood on the stairs of a New York gymnasium waiting to enter a celebrity charity event thrown by a relatively unknown 22-year-old music producer called Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs, the expectant atmosphere began to change.
Minutes later, Dirk took his final breaths.

Jane says Diddy would promise her nice dates that would turn into ‘hotel nights’
Diddy’s ex-girlfriend told the court about several instances where the mogul offered her a trip or romantic date and instead guilted her into having sex with male escorts for his entertainment.
On Monday the jury saw messages from September, 2023, where Diddy tells Jane: ‘let’s have a good time. Do you have your passport. We’re going to dinner, have you do a little shopping.’
But when her flight took off for NYC to meet wiht Diddy, Jane said she ‘received a message from Sean that made me a little upset.’
In the message, Diddy was asking her about one of their go-to male escorts.
‘he was wanting a hotel night,’ Jane said.
‘I remember taking a deep breath and feeling a little upset nad little disappointed, a little defeated.’
Exotic dancer describes the moment he realized his burqa-wearing employer was Diddy
On the latest episode of the Mail’s ‘The Trial of Diddy’ podcast, reporter Marjorie Hernandez interviews Sharay Hayes, a male exotic dancer who testified in court that he was paid to give sexual massages to Cassie Ventura while being watched by a masked Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs.
Witness Jane tells Diddy that freak offs disgust her in text read in court
The court read a text that Jane sent to Diddy in September 2023 where she opened up about not wanting to engage in freak offs.
The text read: ‘I wish we could chalk this back to when we first started dating…
‘Ever since I opened Pandora’s Box….one night of fun (became) all I’m expected to do.
‘It’s hurting me because I’m so much more….doing things that make me disgusted with myself… my heart is breaking…
‘I don’t want to play this role in your life any more… It’s dark, sleazy and makes me feel disgusted with myself.
‘I feel it’s the only reason you have me around… I don’t want to feel obligated to do these nights in fear of losing the roof over my head.’
Diddy apparently replied: ‘girl stop.’
REVEALED: The wildest Diddy conspiracy theories to emerge from his trial
Internet trolls have tried to connect some of America’s biggest names – from Barack Obama and Kamala Harris to Beyoncé and Jay-Z – to Diddy’s alleged misconduct.
Prince and Kim Porter were brought into the discourse posthumously with theorists alleging both detailed Diddy’s alleged exploits before their deaths.
Others even went as far as baselessly claiming Los Angeles‘ deadly Palisades Fire was set in an attempt to burn evidence that would be essential to Diddy’s trial.
Prosecutors asked judge for privacy measures for alleged Diddy victim ‘Jane’
Prosecutors asked the judge to turn the livestream in the overflow room when alleged victim Jane is on the stand.
They said they want to avoid a situation where nonredacted information is shown to those in the overflow and press rooms.
Jane is back on the stand
Jane has begun her testimony for the prosecution on Monday.
She is being asked to read text message conversations with Diddy.
Last week the court saw messages where she called the mogul a ‘pathological liar’ and said, ‘I can’t get this image of you lying to my face out of my mind’ after he went from celebrating her birthday to taking another woman on a trip to the Caribbean.
Jane told Diddy that, by dating him, she had deprived herself of romance, love, travel and meaningful connections.
‘This is about you finally treating me as a human being,’ she wrote.
Jane said Combs told her he’d make it up to her by taking her to Turks and Caicos.
Jane desperately wanted alone time with Combs, she said, but before they left, he made her engage in yet another ‘hotel night.’
When they got to the archipelago, Jane said she was happy at first, but then Combs brought in a male sex worker for yet more encounters.
Diddy’s mother Janice arrives in court
The 85-year-old has been present for most of the mogul’s trial.
Who will testify Monday?
Diddy’s ex-girlfriend and accuser Jane will return to the witness stand on Monday when prosecutor Maurene Comey will resume her questioning.
Combs’ lawyers have not yet had a chance to question her.
Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs tells courtroom artist he looks like a ‘koala’ in sketches
On Thursday, the gray-bearded hip-hop mogul turned to face courtroom sketch artist Jane Rosenberg in the first row to make an unusual request.
‘Soften me up a bit, you’re making me look like a koala bear,’ Combs said, according to Rosenberg.
Rosenberg, a well-known sketch artist, has been documenting the proceedings for Reuters in Manhattan federal court, where photography and video recording are prohibited.
Diddy is not the first high-profile defendant to remark on Rosenberg’s depictions of them.
Earlier this year, Rudy Giuliani told Rosenberg she had made him look like his dog.
And in 2023, Donald Trump Jr. had a blunt request for Rosenberg during a civil fraud trial over his family’s real estate business: ‘Make me look sexy.’
Dr Phil reveals stunning prosecution error and hidden ‘poison’ that everyone has missed
Just four weeks into the trial of Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs and I want to prepare you for the possibility that these proceedings could come to a sudden, screeching halt.
I spent most of my professional career around courtrooms as a consultant for trial attorneys, instructing them, not on the legal aspects of cases, but on the human elements, specifically how jurors responded to their arguments.
At this moment in the Combs trial – with the prosecution expected to wrap up its arguments in the coming days – I question whether the jury has been presented with enough evidence to reasonably expect them to find a legal basis to convict.
And for that reason, I predict the judge may be tempted to essentially throw the case out of court.

Judge to rule on Diddy’s second mistrial motion
On Saturday, Diddy’s legal team filed a letter requesting the trial be dismissed following a testimony from Combs’ ex-girlfriend Cassie’s friend and fashion designer, Bryana Bongolan.
Combs’ lawyers have argued that the prosecution knowingly allowed the false testimony to be given because they had seen receipts showing the mogul was in the east coast at the time.
On Monday, judge Subramanian said he will wait for the prosecution to answer to the defense’s motion, and he will have an answer on Tuesday.
