Following closing arguments in Diddy's sex crimes trial, the embattled music mogul's oldest daughters were in tears as they left the courthouse yesterday.

Diddy's Family Makes Emotional Courthouse Exit

On Thursday (June 26), closing arguments started in the Diddy trial, as the case edges closer to a conclusion. Puff's family was present during the hearing. Afterward, they were filmed leaving the Manhattan federal courthouse. In the video, which can be seen below, the Bad Boy Entertainment founder's oldest daughters, Lila, Chance and Jessie Combs, were visibly emotional while exiting the building to a throng of media and spectators. One of the twins wipes away tears as they make their way to their awaiting vehicle.

Diddy's sons, King and Quincy, were also present, as well as Puff's mother, Janice Combs.

What Was Said During Closing Arguments of the Diddy Trial?

The prosecution spent Thursday laying out their case against Diddy, who is charged with sex trafficking, racketeering conspiracy and transportation to engage in prostitution.

During the hearing, Assistant U.S. Attorney Christy Slavik laid out the government's case against the embattled music mogul one last time. Slavik explained that the jury only needs to find that Diddy or another member of his organization would commit at least two criminal acts for a RICO to stand. Slavik explained Diddy and his team did so through drug distribution, kidnapping, arson, bribery and sex trafficking.

Diddy did not have to make money by distributing drugs to be found guilty of the distribution charge, Slavik said, explaining that providing illicit substances to Cassie and the anonymous victim, Jane, for freak offs fit the bill.

Slavik also claimed Diddy was guilty of arson, relating to Kid Cudi's car being set on fire, and bribery, related to obtaining the tape of himself assaulting Cassie in a hotel in 2016. The jury was also shown photos of 27 men Diddy allegedly directed Cassie and Jane to have sex with during freak-offs, which the government claims his inner circle helped cover up.

Diddy's Defense Team Delivers Closing Arguments

On Friday (June 27), Puff's attorney, Marc Agnifilo, countered the prosecution's stance in his closing arguments. He told the jury that the government's case is exaggerated and insisted Diddy lives a swinger lifestyle. Agnifilo conceded to Diddy committing domestic abuse but said the case was not about crime, it was about money. He also disputed arson and kidnapping claims made by the prosecution and insisted that Diddy paying for footage of the Cassie assault was done to prevent bad publicity and not to obstruct justice.

Following closing arguments, the jury will begin deliberations. Judge Arun Subramanian is hoping to have things wrapped up by the July 4th holiday.

If convicted, Diddy could spend the rest of his life in prison.

Broward Sheriff's Office

Lil Durk

Charges: One count of use of interstate facilities to commit murder-for-hire resulting in death, one count of conspiracy and one count of using, carrying and discharging firearms and a machine gun and possession of such firearms in furtherance of a crime of violence resulting in death.

Trial date: Initially set for Jan. 7, 2025; Moved to Oct. 14, 2025

Details: Lil Durk was arrested on Oct. 24 in South Florida on his way to catch a flight to Italy and charged in connection to a murder-for-hire plot to kill Quando Rondo in August of 2022. Authorities say the 32-year-old Chicago rapper put a bounty on Quando following the death of King Von, who was shot and killed by Quando associate Timothy "Lul Timm" Leeks following a fight outside an Atlanta hookah lounge in November of 2020.

In August of 2022, five men with ties to Durk's Only The Family collective who have also been arrested—Kavon London Grant, Deandre Dontrell Wilson, Keith Jones, David Brian Lindsey and Asa Houston—allegedly traveled to Los Angeles on Durk's dime after finding out the hotel where Quando was staying. Durk also made the trip but flew in on a private jet along with Grant, authorities claim in their indictment.

After acquiring rental cars, weapons and ski masks, the five men stalked Quando Rondo who was staying at a hotel in downtown Los Angeles. They eventually tracked Quando's black Escalade to a Beverly Hills gas station where authorities say Jones, Lindsey and "co-conspirator 2" opened fire on Quando's vehicle killing his cousin Saviay’a Robinson a.k.a Lul Pab.

Lil Durk has pleaded not guilty. If convicted, Durk and his codefendants would face a statutory maximum sentence of life in federal prison.

Details: YNW Melly has been in jail since February of 2019 fighting a double murder case. After his first trial ended in a hung jury, the State plans to put the rapper through the wringer once again in the fall of 2025.

Melly, born Jamell Demons, is accused of shooting and killing his friends Christopher "YNW Juvy" Thomas and Anthony "YNW Sakchaser" Williams in 2018 and trying to cover up the crime with the help of YNW Bortlen, who dropped the deceased victims off at the hospital and told the emergency staff the men had been shot in a drive-by.

Since the end of his first trial, Melly has been charged with an additional count of witness tampering with prosecutors accusing the rapper and Bortlen of contacting Melly’s ex-girlfriend, Mariah Hamilton, and convincing her not to testify in the first trial. If convicted, Melly could face the death penalty or life in prison without the possibility of parole.
