A lengthy list of witnesses have testified so far during Sean “Diddy” Combs’, but the defendant noticeably chose to not take the stand at all. Suge Knight has continued to weigh in on how court proceedings are playing out, and he recently doubled down on his surprising take about the case and even suggested Diddy should testify.
Earlier this week, the Death Row Records executive shared he felt there’s a chance his longtime rival could beat his charges. “I feel if he do tell his truth, he really would walk,” Knight elaborated Thursday (May 30) in a phone interview from the Richard J. Donovan Correctional Facility in San Diego.
He then discussed a possible strategy the Bad Boy founder could use to help his road to a potential victory. “If Puffy goes up there and says, ‘Hey… I did all the drugs, I wasn’t in control of my life at the time, or myself’ – he can humanize his old self and the jury might give him a shot.”
“But if they keep him sitting down, it’s like he’s scared to face the music,” Knight added. “He should just have his faith in God, put up his pants and go up there and tell his truth.”
Suge is currently in prison for an unrelated crime, serving a 28-year-sentence for a deadly hit-and-run in 2015.
In the aforementioned conversation from earlier this week, Knight surprised many people with his opinion because of his well-known decades-long beef with the NYC mogul. “Puffy and I are not friends,” he explained to Cuomo. “But Puffy should definitely walk free.”
According to him, Diddy’s not the only one who should be taking the blame for all of the alleged crimes. “The most important thing is that it was other executives that were involved in Puffy’s life. For Puffy to be the only guy that gets on the stand is a sad day for Hip-Hop,” he continued.
Diddy is facing one count of racketeering conspiracy; two counts of sex trafficking by force, fraud or coercion; and two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution. He was arrested in NYC on Sept. 16, 2024, and held at MDC Brooklyn without bail. His trial is expected to last all of June and into July.
