Joe Budden believes that the prosecution is actively seeking a conviction against Diddy regardless of the evidence.

“I think they're going to get him because they want to get him. I think they're going to get him. I don't care about none of the what the evidence they they want to get him.”

Diddy's primary legal goal is to avoid prison by arguing that the behavior at the center of the allegations was consensual.

“Number one, if you are diddy, your number one priority is to make sure you're not spending 15 to the rest of your natural life in jail. 15 years to the rest of your natural life in jail for sex trafficking and racketeering. So what you're trying to do is show there's a significant level of consensua”

The ongoing trial testimony is methodically building a case that links the defendant to a criminal enterprise and sex trafficking.

“So what you have is Cassie talking about what happened to her, other people talking about what they experienced. You have people coming in talking about being flown in, doing freakoffs in different states. That gives it a federal aspect.”
