Not Testifying, Says O’Day

As hip-hop mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs faces explosive federal charges in New York — including alleged sex trafficking, racketeering activity, and unlawful interstate transportation — pop star and former reality TV personality Aubrey O’Day is stepping forward to clear the air.

Once a breakout star from the chart-topping girl group Danity Kane, formed under Diddy’s own Bad Boy Records, O’Day found herself at the center of courtroom speculation. Her surprise arrival in Manhattan and a cryptic Instagram post — featuring city visuals and a justice-themed emoji — sent fans and media alike into a frenzy, wondering if she was about to testify in the high-stakes celebrity trial.

However, in the May 16 episode of the podcast Amy Robach and T.J. Holmes Presents: Aubrey O’Day Covering the Diddy Trial, the 41-year-old addressed the rumors directly.

“I’m not here to testify for the Diddy trial that I know of,” O’Day stated during her recent podcast appearance — directly addressing the internet buzz around her rumored courtroom involvement.

While the singer and TV personality did acknowledge a prior meeting with Homeland Security, she was firm in dismissing any current legal role in the high-profile case. She clarified that her Instagram post — which showed her arriving in New York with a justice-themed emoji — was not a veiled hint at testifying but simply an effort to be transparent about her location amid growing online speculation.

On the legal front, Sean “Diddy” Combs remains behind bars at Brooklyn’s Metropolitan Detention Center. The music icon, who faces federal charges ranging from sex trafficking to racketeering conspiracy, has entered a not guilty plea and strongly denies all accusations. Despite multiple bail petitions, Judge Arun Subramanian has declined to release him pending trial.

As headlines swirl and the courtroom saga unfolds, Aubrey O’Day is making one thing clear: her history with Diddy may be part of pop culture, but she’s staying out of the courtroom drama — at least for now.
