Judge Mathis has made it clear that he will not be attending Diddy‘s trial to offer his support. However, he believes that those who are close to Diddy, including friends and family, should definitely show up to stand by him during this challenging time. Mathis also expressed skepticism regarding Kanye West‘s intentions for making an appearance at the trial this past week, raising questions about the sincerity behind the gesture.
We caught up with the television personality on Saturday at the iconic Rodeo Drive in Los Angeles, where he was engaged in conversations about the latest high-profile events. During our encounter, we took the opportunity to inquire whether he believed that Kanye’s presence at Diddy’s trial last Friday would have any significant impact on the proceedings or on Diddy’s state of mind.

It’s important to note that Kanye arrived at the federal courthouse in Manhattan last Friday; however, he never actually entered the courtroom itself. Instead, court officials had to open up a separate overflow room specifically for him, allowing him to watch the trial proceedings on a monitor, which raised eyebrows and sparked discussions among onlookers about the real reason behind his visit.

After spending only about 10 minutes at the courthouse, Kanye made the decision to leave, leading to speculation about whether the jury had even noticed his presence or if they were informed of his brief visit at all, which adds an intriguing layer to the unfolding drama surrounding Diddy’s trial.
Judge Mathis expressed uncertainty about whether Kanye’s appearance was an attempt to stir up drama or a genuine desire to comfort his long-time friend Diddy. Despite the ambiguity surrounding Kanye’s motives, Mathis stated that he would be supportive of the gesture if it was indeed meant to provide comfort during this tumultuous time.
In fact, Judge Mathis emphasized that more of Diddy’s associates and close friends should make an effort to be there for him during the trial. He indicated that if he were a friend or family member, he would certainly show up. Mathis was clear to state that while no one should condone Diddy’s alleged actions, it is entirely acceptable for people to offer their support and comfort during this challenging period.
As for the current status of the case, Judge Mathis believes that the prosecution has made limited progress concerning the two counts of transportation related to engaging in prostitution. This comes after “Jane” testified that she coordinated travel, and Diddy financially supported the transportation of a sex worker across state lines, highlighting the serious allegations at hand.

Mathis pointed out that the prosecution needs to put in more effort to secure a guilty verdict on the remaining three charges. Therefore, it remains to be seen how the trial will progress and what the outcomes will be for Diddy as the situation continues to unfold.
