Diddy Unveils Dramatic New Look in Court, Pleads ‘Not Guilty’ to Forced Labour Charges
Hip-hop mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs made a striking appearance in a New York federal courtroom on Friday, revealing a dramatic transformation as he pleaded not guilty to new allegations of forced labour.
Diddy, who appeared with white hair and a full white beard, seemed to have embraced his natural look, having stopped dyeing his hair in the weeks leading up to his trial. The rapper also looked noticeably older and had gained some weight as he arrived in tan prison attire.
During the proceedings, Judge Arun Subramanian read out the updated indictment, to which Diddy firmly responded, “Not guilty.”
Despite the serious nature of the case, the music mogul appeared in good spirits, smiling and waving at his son, Christian “King” Combs, and daughter, Chance Combs, who were present in court.
When asked by the judge if he had reviewed the updated charges, Diddy stood and confirmed, saying, “Yes, I have, sir.” However, he declined the option to have the indictment read aloud in court.
The case against Diddy continues to unfold as he prepares for trial in the coming weeks.
