In late May 2025, a rumor spread that Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson had testified in Sean "Diddy" Combs's ongoing federal sex-trafficking trial in Manhattan.

The claim rapidly got hundreds of millions of views on YouTube, where it was shown alongside a dramatic film of Johnson confessing to odd initiation procedures. The rumor is not true at all. No reliable court files, news stories, or official transcripts from the trial mention Johnson as a witness.


Dwayne Johnson reportedly testifies in the ongoing Diddy sex trafficking case: Rumour debunked

Sean Diddy Combs has been charged with several charges by the federal authorities, including sex trafficking and racketeering conspiracy. These crimes are said to have happened between 2008 and 2023. The trial began on May 5, 2025, in the Daniel Patrick Moynihan U.S. Courthouse in New York City.

Cassie Ventura, Diddy's ex-girlfriend, is a well-known witness who came out about the alleged sexual and physical abuse she suffered at his hands. Next up, Cassie's mom, Regina Ventura, backed up some of the things her daughter said in court.

Kid Cudi also gave accounts of him and Combs knowing each other as youngsters. "Mia," the accuser and former personal assistant, spoke about sexual assaults that happened to her.

As of May 30, 2025, Dwayne Johnson is not one of the more than 190 probable witnesses identified in court records and reliable news sources. However, the list has doctors, Comb's ex-employees, police officers, and more.

The WhatIsMyStarWorth YouTube account posted a 25-minute video on May 30, 2025, which was captioned:

"Nobody saw this coming from Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson about Diddy just a minute ago..."

Based on the preview and the tale, Johnson allegedly:

  • Cried when he was on the platform during his trial
  • HE spoke of "horrifying initiations," one of which was a ritual that took place underground and involved eating raw monkey brains as a proof of loyalty through compromising situations.
  • Charged Combs with organizing these embarrassing events

By the time the sun set, the clip had garnered more than 160,000 views. But there are no such detailed claims in the official trial papers.

An ABC News article from May 29, 2025, that names all the people who have testified in the infamous Diddy's trial, so far, does not say who Dwayne Johnson is or what he does. There is also no subpoena or motion related to Johnson in the federal court docket or the U.S. Attorney's office.

The YouTube description does state that it is:

"fictional and created for entertainment purposes only,"

It also says that:

"No verified court documents or official sources confirm these claims."

Many trustworthy news sites covering the trial have written a lot about witness testimony, but Johnson has never been mentioned. Searches of major news databases show that there are no reports that Johnson was involved.

The trial has shown a variety of real outcomes, such as,

  • The prosecution had strong proof of forced prostitution, such as medical records showing gunshot residue and DNA testing.
  • Former assistant "Mia" offered extensive details of the alleged sexual assaults and instances of coercion.
  • The prosecution argues that Combs supported traffickers via his staff and entourage. The defense maintains that all of the interactions were voluntary and consensual.

The jury will start to think over the evidence and witness testimony that has been officially filed around the middle of July.

It's not true that Dwayne Johnson gave evidence in Sean Diddy Combs's sex-trafficking trial. It started on a YouTube channel known for just showing fun, not news on the law, and every reputable source covering the issue disagrees with it.

As Diddy's trial goes on, those who are watching should only trust proven facts and reliable news sources for real information.
