Jury selection for Sean “Diddy” Combs’ criminal trial is set to begin on May 5, with opening statements expected shortly thereafter. Ahead of the proceedings, Diddy’s legal team has compiled a detailed set of questions for potential jurors, covering sensitive topics such as sex, drugs, and the influence of celebrity culture.

According to *TMZ*, the defense plans to probe jurors’ beliefs and biases, including attitudes toward high-profile individuals. One question asks, “There may be evidence in this case about people engaging in sexual relations with multiple sexual partners. Would hearing about that type of evidence be difficult for you?”

Other questions address perceptions of wealth and justice—such as “Do you believe that wealthy people get away with things that the less wealthy do not?”—and views on the hip-hop industry. Jurors will also be asked about their personal experiences or opinions on substance use and addiction.

The jury’s responses may play a crucial role in shaping the direction of the trial. Would you like a summary of the charges or more context on the case?

Diddy’s case will begin jury selection on May 5th with opening statements coming just a few days afterward.
Diddy’s legal team has prepared a number of questions they intend to ask potential jurors ahead of his upcoming criminal trial. TMZ has obtained several of the questions, which touch on topics of celebrity, sex, drugs, and more.

“There may be evidence in this case about people engaging in sexual relations with multiple sexual partners. Would hearing about that type of evidence be difficult for you?” Diddy’s attorney will ask with one of the questions.

They also plan to ask, “Do you believe that wealthy people get away with things that the less wealthy do not?” as well as whether they have opinions about “hip hop rap music industry or artists in that genre?” Additionally, drug use is another topic the questions will address. “Do you have any personal experiences or opinions about drug or alcohol use or addiction?” will be another.

Jury selection will begin in the case on May 5th. Opening statements are expected to kick off in the following days.

The schedule comes despite Diddy and his lawyers recently requesting a two-month delay in the trial. They complained about a superseding indictment bringing new alleged charges against the Bad Boy mogul and needing more time to prepare.

Judge Arun Subramanian shot down the request, ruling that he didn’t want to allow a “fishing expedition” for them to seek even more evidence, as caught by NBC News.

On top of the superseding indictment, Diddy recently added Young Thug’s attorney, Brian Steel, to his team of lawyers. Steel is coming off of the YSL RICO trial in which he successfully defended Thug and helped land him a plea deal to get out of jail.

Authorities first arrested Diddy on charges of alleged sex trafficking and racketeering back in September of last year. He pleaded not guilty at the time and has maintained his innocence in the months since. Being unsuccessful in getting out on bond, he’s been awaiting trial at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, New York.
