As reported by ABC, Combs rejected the offer of a plea deal from the government, allowing the trial to go forward.

The rapper was asked in court by Judge Arun Subramanian whether he would accept the offer of pleading guilty in order to spare himself from a lengthy prison sentence.

However, Combs declined it, and no further details of the deal have been revealed.

Should the music mogul be convicted on all of the charges he is facing, he could end up behind bars for life.

Despite the seriousness of the situation, Combs reportedly arrived in court smiling and greeted his lawyer Mark Geragos with a fist bump, according to Page Six.

The trial will begin on Monday, May 5, on charges of racketeering, sex trafficking, human trafficking, and the infamous "freak-off" parties at the center of the case.

The jury will be selected first, with opening statements starting on May 12.

Since the first indictment and his subsequent arrest in September 2024, the Bad Boy Records founder has pleaded not guilty, denying the allegations.
