United Kingdom, May 1 -- Sean 'Diddy' Combs has rejected a last minute plea deal.

The 'I'll Be Missing You' hitmaker is preparing to stand trial for sex crimes and during a pre-trial hearing in New York on Thursday (01.05.25), it was confirmed that jury selection will begin as scheduled on 5 May after the Bad Boy Records founder confirmed he wouldn't sign an agreement offered by prosecutors.

According to MailOnline, the specific terms of the deal were not read out but prosecutors said Combs would have spent less time in jail if he accepted it than if he is found guilty at trial.

The 55-year-old rapper'lawyer Marc Agnifilo told the court that he and Diddy had discussed the agreement with him and had "came to a decision" together.
