During the jury selection for the trial of Sean Combs, which began in New York on May 5, 2025, prospective jurors were presented a list of 190 celebrities and public figures, and were asked to identify them, according to The Independent.
The list, which included the names of A-list actors and musicians involved in the trial of Sean Combs, was referenced due to past collaborations, relationships, or mentions in lawsuits, but none are accused of wrongdoing in this case.
U.S. District Judge Arun Subramanian compared the list to an “appendix from Lord of the Rings,” jokingly drawing reference to the famously lengthy and intricate appendices found at the end of the book, which include a vast array of characters and locations.

As the jury selection got underway on May 5, the jurors were probed on their knowledge of the hip-hop star Diddy and the allegations against him, including whether they had seen media coverage or videos related to the case.
The list of celebrities who have been named in Sean Combs' ongoing case until now includes Kanye West, Michael B. Jordan, Mike Myers, Cassie Ventura, and many more. Let us have a look.
