The Puff Daddy Trial

February 28, 2001 | ISSUE 37•07

Rapper Sean "Puffy" Combs is on trial for illegal gun possession and bribery stemming from a 1999 shooting at a Manhattan nightclub. What do you think?

  • How can Puffy possibly get a fair trial? It'll be impossible to find 12 jurors who don't already hate him for his shitty music.

  • I don't think it was a good idea for Puffy to take the stand and just chant, 'Unhh, yeah' over a recording of O.J. Simpson's testimony.

  • A rapper with a gun? This is the most insane witch hunt in history.

  • So they're prosecuting him on gun charges but letting him off the hook for 'I'll Be Missing You'?

  • I bet Jay-Z is so jealous.

  • Man, I'd hate to cross paths with that guy in prison. No, wait–that would be fine.
