Jennifer Lopez might be questioned in Diddy’s upcoming trial as lawyers try to keep the 1999 shooting case out of court

Jennifer Lopez might soon be pulled into the legal troubles surrounding her ex-boyfriend Sean "Diddy" Combs.
According to The Blast and Daily Mail, Diddy’s legal team is trying hard to stop a past nightclub shooting from being used as evidence in his upcoming federal trial. This incident took place back in 1999, when both Diddy and Jennifer Lopez were at the height of their relationship.
The reports stated that Diddy is currently facing serious federal charges, and his lawyers are working to remove anything from the trial that could damage his reputation. One of the major concerns for his legal team is the 1999 club shooting in New York City, a case that was widely covered at the time.
During the incident, a shooting happened inside a Manhattan nightclub, and Diddy was later accused of gun possession and bribery. Police found a stolen gun in the car that Diddy and Lopez were in as they left the scene. While Diddy went to trial for those charges and was later found not guilty, Lopez was not charged with any crime. Still, the event was a big scandal, especially because the couple was in a high-profile relationship at the time.
Now, over two decades later, Diddy’s attorneys want to make sure that this case is not brought up again in court. The trial is scheduled to begin in May, and his legal team is also trying to block other pieces of evidence—such as a video showing an alleged assault on his former girlfriend Cassie—from being shown to the jury.
Reports also suggested that a key witness in the 1999 shooting case, possibly Diddy’s former driver Wardel Fenderson, might be mentioned during the trial. Fenderson once claimed that Diddy tried to bribe him into taking the blame for the weapon found in their car. Diddy’s lawyers are calling the witness’s claims unbelievable and say that the story about offering a $50,000 diamond ring as a bribe has no solid proof.
Since Jennifer Lopez was with Diddy during the time of the 1999 incident, there’s a chance she might be mentioned or even asked to testify. Though she had no role in the crime and was cleared of any wrongdoing, the situation might bring her back into the spotlight.
As the legal team continues preparing for trial, they are pushing hard to leave this part of Diddy’s past out of the courtroom. However, with public interest rising and court dates nearing, it remains to be seen whether the 1999 shooting—and Jennifer Lopez’s connection to it—will once again become a part of the legal conversation.
