Summary
He was the king of Bad Boy Records: a billionaire mogul, a Grammy winner, and the face of luxury in hip-hop. Sean “Diddy” Combs is facing a slew of federal charges in New York, accused of running a criminal enterprise for over two decades. The indictment includes sex trafficking, racketeering, kidnapping, forced labor, and obstruction of justice... all tied to what prosecutors describe as a pattern of coercion, violence, and cover-ups. He’s also accused of transporting women across state lines for prostitution and orchestrating “freak-off” sex parties involving drugs and intimidation. Combs has pleaded not guilty to all charges.

| 0:00.0 | Hi, everybody. Welcome back to Drop Dead Serious. I'm Ashley Banfield. From freak-offs to felony counts. |
| 0:14.6 | P. Diddy is staring down the trial of his life, and we are on the eve of liftoff. |
| 0:20.3 | Twenty years of sex, power, and silence are finally headed |
| 0:25.2 | into a courtroom and in front of a jury. And if prosecutors have their way, the bad boy for life |
| 0:31.2 | might be looking at life behind bars. If Diddy gets his way, it'll all be an embarrassing outing of his kinky sexual |
| 0:41.0 | lifestyle and the lifestyles of a lot of other famous people, too. Today was day two of jury selection, |
| 0:46.8 | and if you thought yesterday sounded like a red carpet of the rich and famous, buckle up. You're not |
| 0:52.9 | going to believe this. We're talking about jurors confessing |
| 0:56.0 | to daily marijuana use, a fear of fainting over kinky details, and yes, someone got dismissed |
| 1:02.1 | for watching a Russian comedy video about this very case. So let's get right into it, shall we? |

| 1:26.1 | Mark Garagos also hosts two podcasts, one called Reasonable |
| 1:29.8 | Doubt and the other called Two Angry Men alongside TMZ's Harvey Levin. On two angry men, |
| 1:36.8 | Mark Garagos went off calling the 2016 video of Diddy dragging Cassie Ventura down a hotel |
| 1:43.6 | hallway, character assassination, end quote. |
| 1:47.8 | And then he took aim at the prosecution saying the all-female team, quote, |
| 1:52.4 | looked like they were prosecuting a cause as opposed to a case. |
| 1:57.5 | And it does. |
| 1:58.3 | And jury selection starts Monday. |
| 2:05.5 | And now we know what the teams on the prosecution and defense side are comprised of, which I really want to get into, especially the prosecution, |
