Puff Daddy rejects plea deal ahead of Monday’s s3x trafficking trial

Troubled American music mogul Sean Puffy Combs, popularly known as Puff Daddy, has rejected a plea deal ahead of a s3x trafficking trial that begins next week Monday.

Puff Daddy confirmed at a hearing yesterday that he had turned down a plea deal from federal prosecutors in his ongoing s3x trafficking trial, which has gained much publicity.

“Have you rejected the government’s offer?” U.S. District Judge Arun Subramanian, who is overseeing his trial in New York, asked him on Thursday, May 1.

“Yes, your honor,” Combs replied.

On allegations of racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking, and prostitution, Puff Daddy will go on trial starting Monday with jury selection. The accusations against him include forcing women into protracted sex with males he referred to as “freak-offs.”

Over the past year, Puff Daddy has been the target of numerous civil lawsuits alleging misconduct, abuse, and s3xual assault.

These include well-known instances like the one that singer Cassie filed, which was swiftly resolved, as well as those that are currently outstanding.
