It’s been a few days since the last Diddy Report, so here we go.

It’s been a wild couple of months with all the new about Sean “Diddy” Combs regarding all the charges he’s facing as he sits in a Brooklyn detention centre. For a while, stories emerged every day. Then every couple of days. And now things have settled into sporadic bits of news. Let’s get up to date.

Diddy’s gagging order request has been denied

Diddy’s lawyers wanted his alleged victims to be identified so their client could face his accusers. A judge has denied that request, saying that these people have a right to speak to the media while Diddy awaits his trial to start in May.

Diddy’s lawyers are dealing with the allegations of a second victim when it comes to trafficking.

They refute any an all assertions by a person–a woman–who they say is misleading everyone.

Who is this “bigger villain?”

A former Playboy model says there’s a “bigger villain hiding in Hollywood.” Whom could that be?

Meanwhile, Diddy wants bail.

He wants out of jail and proposes that he be held under house arrest until his court date. Why? Because he says “evidence” that some of his alleged crimes were part of “consensual relationships.”

Diddy needs to rent out his private jet

Is he running short of cash? Just US$423.000 per flightl.

Here come the diss tracks.

This has nothing to do with Diddy directly, but there has been a Diddy spillover into the world of country music.

Sting: Still not troubled by Diddy.

Remember how Diddy used “Every Breath You Take” in his song “I’ll be Missing You?” It won Diddy a Grammy. Sting: “It’s still my song.”
