The rapper blew kisses to his mother and children in Court after a US judge set the trial date at a Manhattan federal court hearing on Thursday.
The ‘I’ll Be Missing You’ singer pleaded not guilty in September to a three-count indictment charging him with using his business empire, encompassing his record label, Bad Boy Entertainment, to transport male and female sex workers across state lines to take part in recorded sexual performances called “freak offs”.
Diddy faces a sentence of up to life behind bars and a minimum of fifteen (15) years of convicted of the three counts he faces; they are, racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking and transportation to engage in prostitution.
Since his arrest, the hip-hop icon has been jailed at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn County, New York State.
