Footage of Sean “Diddy” Combs physically assaulting his ex-girlfriend, Cassie Ventura, will be shown to the jury in his criminal sex trafficking trial, which is scheduled to begin next month.

P rosecutors are firing back at efforts by Sean “Diddy” Combs to bar an infamous 2016 surveillance video from his upcoming sex trafficking trial, calling it a “desperate” attempt to avoid “crushing” evidence.

A federal prosecutor also disclosed at a hearing Friday that the government had offered Combs a plea deal, which he rejected.
