After eight intense weeks in court, the defense in Diddy’s trial officially rested its case this week—marking a major turning point in the high-profile proceedings.
Before wrapping, the judge had a notable exchange with Diddy—acknowledging his conduct throughout the trial, thanking him for his professionalism, and confirming Diddy’s decision not to take the stand in his own defense. The moment brought a rare personal tone to an otherwise highly scrutinized legal battle.
With the defense now closed, the judge dismissed jurors until Thursday, when both sides will deliver their closing arguments. After nearly two months of witness testimony, legal maneuvering, and public speculation, all eyes are now on the final phase of the trial.

The jury’s verdict could come shortly after closing arguments, depending on deliberation length—making the next few days critical for both the defense and prosecution.
Stay tapped in—Thursday’s session is expected to be heavy.
