October 04, 2025 Diddy - Jailed
In this FINAL episode of our Diddy series Kayla and Dan have all the drama from the courtroom in Manhattan as Sean Combs was jailed for over 4 years. In a hearing lasting for almost eight hours, including an emotional 12-minute plea from the defendant, the judge was not persuaded to release him. Instead he said violence against women had to be met with accountability. The judge also praised the bravery of the women who told the world their story.

July 08, 2025 Diddy - Exceptional Circumstances feat. Maureen Callahan
We are one week post-verdict, and the celebrations have begun. Sean Combs was found guilty on the lesser charge of two counts of prostitution, while he and his team are feeling victorious about beating the racketeering and sex trafficking charges.

Diddy's supporters took to the streets with their baby oil in hand and their "Freako is not RICO" shirts.

Germania and Kayla are unpacking the next steps post-verdict, and the reception of Diddy at MDC and with the public.

Kayla does an exclusive interview with the host of The Nerve podcast, and the Daily Mail's own Maureen Callahan, on what the fallout might be from Diddy's victory.
