EXCLUSIVE: DIDDY READY TO TESTIFY — “HE’S CONFIDENT, NOT BACKING DOWN”

Sources Say He’ll Take the Stand in His Own Defense — Some Call It Arrogance

Sean “Diddy” Combs is gearing up for the fight of his life — and insiders tell #ShuterScoop he’s planning to take the biggest risk of all: testifying in his own defense.

“Diddy is confident,” one source close to the hip-hop mogul reveals. “He believes he can convince a jury he’s innocent — in his own words. He wants the world to hear his truth.”

Facing explosive charges in a federal case that’s rocked the entertainment industry, Combs isn’t shying away from the spotlight. In fact, sources say he’s leaning into it.

“He doesn’t want to hide behind lawyers. He’s still the master of the mic — and he thinks the jury will believe him over anyone else,” the insider added.

But not everyone thinks it’s a smart move.

“There’s a fine line between confidence and arrogance,” a former legal consultant tells us. “Getting on the stand can be dangerous. Prosecutors will go after him hard.”

Diddy, who recently rejected a plea deal, is prepared to lay it all out — from his controversial lifestyle to what he claims are false allegations driven by opportunism and media spin.

“He’s betting everything on himself,” another source says. “And in classic Diddy fashion — he thinks he’s going to win.”
