P Diddy’s sex trafficking trial took a chaotic turn as the rapper was told he could be booted from the courtroom.

The rap mogul, 55, has pleaded not guilty to federal charges of sex trafficking, racketeering conspiracy, and transportation to engage in prostitution. It’s the fourth week of testimony in Sean “Diddy” Combs’ high-profile court battle.

On Thursday (June 5), the 17th day of the trial, US District Court Judge Arun Subramanian threatened to remove the rapper from the court for “nodding vigorously” and looking at the jury during testimony. The judge called out Combs when the jury returned from its lunch break.

He told lawyers that he had been “clear” that no facial expressions should be made to the jury. He declared: “There should be no efforts whatsoever to have an interaction with this jury.”

The judge said that it is “absolutely unacceptable,” adding: “If it happens again, I will give an instruction to the jury or it could result in the exclusion of your client from the courtroom.”
