The testimony has been given and closing arguments made, and with jurors in Diddy’s trial set to begin deliberations June 30, many involved in the case are preparing for what comes next. Will Sean Combs be sentenced to life in prison, or will he walk free of the federal charges brought against him? Either way, some think there may be consequences for those who have spoken out against Diddy, including his bodyguard Big Homie, who said he’s already received “threats.”
The jury heard from several former employees revealing what they saw while working for Diddy, and even outside of the courtroom, some like Big Homie have been speaking out. In fact, the music mogul’s former bodyguard said in an interview with Piers Morgan that he’s fled the country “indefinitely” over concerns for his safety. Big Homie said:
Due to the situation, the circumstances, I decided that it’s probably best for me to live outside of the States at this point. … We’ve got some intel about certain things, and there are some adequate and imminent threats to me.
potential of witness tampering was one reason he was not allowed to post bail ahead of the trial. Even in the courtroom, the judge admonished the rapper for looking at the jury in case his actions could be seen as trying to influence or intimidate them.
memorable details to come from the Diddy trial — including Obama-shaped Ecstasy and, of course, the reason for the rapper needing 1,000 bottles of baby oil — as well as the mundane. While we may have a verdict soon, it seems like the book is far from being closed on this story — especially for those who have to deal with what comes next.
