Diddy Trial Courthouse Gets Fresh Paint Job as Media Frenzy Grows in NYC
As Sean “Diddy” Combs faces intense legal battles in his federal sex trafficking case, even the courthouse itself is getting a makeover to match the global spotlight.
Over the weekend, crews were spotted repainting barricades and cleaning up the grounds outside the Federal District Court in Lower Manhattan — the very site where Diddy’s high-profile trial is unfolding. Black paint was freshly applied to the security fencing, giving the scene a sharper, more polished look ahead of what’s expected to be a heavily watched trial.
Exclusive footage shows workers putting finishing touches on the area, clearly bracing for the media storm. Directly across the street, a nearby public park is now being referred to as “media row,” as major news outlets have already set up their cameras and claimed their spots.
Jury selection kicked off last week and has already sparked headlines — including one standout moment where a potential juror bluntly stated she believed Diddy could “buy his way out of anything.” That comment got her dismissed, with no objection from prosecutors.
As the proceedings continue, all eyes remain fixed on the courthouse — now freshly painted and fully prepared for the legal spectacle to come.
