NewsMay, 6 Sean 'Diddy' Combs jurors asked if they know of Kanye West, Kid Cudi
Sean 'Diddy' Combs' trial has begun with potential jurors being asked if they are familiar with a host of stars. Kanye West, Kid Cudi, Michael B Jordan, Mike Myers and other celebrities are on the list. Jury selection for the sex trafficking trial began on Monday morning in New York. The 150 potential jurors were asked to fill out a questionnaire that gauged their knowledge of Combs, their views on law enforcement, whether they have experienced a sexual assault and more. They were also given a list of almost 200 celebrities and public figures and asked to indicate which names they recognised. Among the names on that list are Michael B Jordan, Kanye West, Mike Myers and Kid Cudi. It's unclear how the names on the list relate to the Combs trial, if at all. Combs is known to have hosted big Hollywood parties and was well-connected among celebrities. Prosecutors believe that Kid Cudi, for one, is the victim of a car bombing committed by Combs in 2011. During that time, the Pursuit of Happiness rapper was romantically involved with Combs' longtime ex-girlfriend, Casandra Ventura, the star witness of the federal trial. Variety reports that Jordan will not be a witness. The Sinners actor went on a date with Ventura in 2015 and Combs was said to be upset about it. Combs' trial is expected to last at least eight weeks. Jury selection will take place until 12 May.
