It’s no longer just about Diddy.
As the bombshell sex trafficking case unfolds in federal court, an emotional and unflinching testimony by Cassie Ventura has blown the doors open—and with it, a list of celebrity names now tangled in the scandal that’s shaking the entertainment industry to its core.
Some are alleged witnesses. Others were party guests. A few, Cassie claimed, “knew what was going on and said nothing.”
And the internet isn’t letting them off the hook.
According to court transcripts obtained by Rolling Stone, the following high-profile figures were named directly or indirectly during multiple days of Cassie’s gripping testimony.
First on the list: Usher.
Cassie detailed a 2018 “afterparty” in Diddy’s Los Angeles mansion, claiming Usher was present when she was allegedly drugged and filmed by Diddy’s team without consent. “He looked uncomfortable,” she told the court. “But he didn’t leave.”
Usher has not commented publicly. His representatives declined to respond to Billboard’s request for comment.
Also mentioned: Justin Bieber.
In a now-viral excerpt, Cassie described being asked to “be around” during a “recording weekend” where Bieber was invited to Diddy’s Miami compound. “I was told to look presentable. That usually meant one thing,” she said.
Though there is no allegation that Bieber participated in or witnessed any wrongdoing, fans were quick to react online. A tweet from @PopCrave has racked up over 12 million views, simply captioned: “Cassie named Justin.”
Another name? Jamie Foxx.
Cassie claims Foxx attended multiple “freak off” parties, the term allegedly used by Diddy for private events involving women, drugs, and surveillance. While Cassie says she never saw Foxx engage in illegal activity, she claims he joked with Diddy “about having too many cameras” in the house.
Foxx’s camp has not released a statement, but CNN reports his name was flagged in discovery documents as a “known associate and guest.”
Then came the jaw-dropper: Jay-Z.
Cassie’s attorney mentioned the Roc Nation mogul in connection with a 2015 business meeting in which Diddy allegedly showed off footage from a private gathering involving intoxicated women and celebrities. While Jay-Z is not accused of any wrongdoing, the courtroom murmured as his name appeared on screen.
Page Six reports Jay-Z’s legal team has reached out to prosecutors seeking clarity on the mention.
Also on the list: French Montana, Chris Brown, and Ray J, all of whom Cassie described as regular attendees at Diddy’s events.
Ray J’s name surfaced again in a court filing released to TMZ, in which a former staffer claimed he was “aware of girls being passed around.”
Ray J responded on Instagram Live, saying: “I ain’t seen nothing. If something happened, I didn’t know.”
Kim Kardashian was also named—but not in connection to a party.
Cassie claims Diddy showed her explicit videos of celebrities while name-dropping Kim, alleging that “everyone has dirt.” She testified that Diddy once said: “If I go down, so do the rest.”
A rep for Kardashian issued a brief denial to ET Online: “She has nothing to do with this case and has not attended any of the events in question.”
Still, the court mentions have sent shockwaves through Hollywood.
Deadline reports that multiple talent agencies are quietly severing ties with artists linked to the scandal—even those not directly accused.
“It’s about optics,” one agent said. “You don’t want your brand anywhere near this.”
Even Alicia Keys’ name was raised when Cassie mentioned attending a studio dinner where “everyone was high, except her.” Cassie says Keys appeared uncomfortable and left early.
The testimonies have only just begun.
More subpoenas are expected, with a court filing by the U.S. Attorney’s Office confirming that additional celebrities “will be named in closed-door witness sessions.”
Online, the backlash is growing. Fans have begun compiling lists of “silence is complicity” celebrities who haven’t spoken up since the allegations began.
A viral post from @JusticeForCassie reads: “They were all there. They all saw something. They all said nothing.”
And for those in the courtroom, one thing is now crystal clear.
This trial isn’t just about Diddy.
It’s about the entire system that protected him.
