Diddy was almost removed from the court in his own sex trafficking trial for allegedly making facial gestures towards the jury.
Judge Arun Subramanian accused the rap mogul of making faces and nodding towards the jury while witnesses were being questioned.
Subramanian said to Diddy’s attorney, Marc Agnifilo: “Mr. Agnifilo, your client was looking at jurors and nodding vigorously. This can’t continue or I will give a limiting instruction you won’t like, or other measures including barring your client from the courtroom. Do you understand?”
Agnifilo said: “It’s not going to happen again.”
Subramanian then warned: “This cannot happen again.”
Diddy is known to have been an active presence in the court room, frequently being seen passing notes to his attorneys while court is in session.
He has also been seen blowing kisses to his mother while she watches the trial from the public gallery.
It was revealed earlier this week that Diddy paid $100,000 for the infamous video of him assaulting Cassie in a hotel corridor.
Eddy Garcia, a former security guard at the InterContinental Hotel where the assault occurred, started testifying in the Bad Boy mogul’s continuing sex trafficking prosecution.
“He said it had to be the only copy and that he didn’t want it getting out and if I was sure nothing was on the cloud,” Garcia told the court.
Garcia said Diddy gave him an envelope containing $100,000.
The money was divided among three individuals, with two security guards sharing half and Garcia’s supervisor, Bill Madrano, receiving $50,000.
