Michael Jordan’s vacation was reportedly interrupted when he learned his name was mentioned during Diddy’s trial this week.
Diddy, 55, whose real name is Sean Combs, was arrested in September 2024 and faces charges of racketeering, sex trafficking and transportation to engage in prostitution.
The rapper, currently on trial in New York, denies all charges.
A former girlfriend of Diddy, using the pseudonym Jane, claims to have been forced to participate in sex parties known as ‘freak offs’ and began her testimony last Thursday (5 June).

While taking part in cross-examination, the female alleged a shocking detail about her sexual relationship with the rapper.
As reported by Daily Mail, Jane claimed Diddy had a ‘sexual fantasy’ which involved NBA icons Jordan, Kobe Bryant and Shaquille O’Neal.
She said: “I came upon a word, cuckolder, a man in a relationship with a woman and is turned on watching his woman have sex with another man.”
Before adding: “I was trying to deep dive on all the reasons why they had derived so much pleasure from watching their woman be with other men.
“It gave me more of an understanding. I wanted to know why my partner wanted so many of these nights and what was driving him. I was trying to find an understanding (about what) he wasn't vocal about.”
Another report by the Mail, has now cited a source as knowing Jordan’s supposed response.
“Michael was made aware of what Diddy may or may have not got himself into with roleplaying as Michael himself,” the unnamed source told the Daily Mail.
“Michael is not going to play with any of that; he is steering clear because he thinks it is weird."
“Mike has to avoid the noise and live his life,” the source added. “He doesn't want to be linked with weird stuff, Diddy or anyone else does.
“He is happy and is looking to forget about the revelation just as soon as he was made aware of it.”
SPORTbible has contacted Jordan’s representatives for comment.
As reported by ABC News, Jane told the court that during her time participating in various alleged sexual encounters with Combs, he had compared her, and a male escort that had been hired, to the three NBA stars.
The male escort, who was allegedly frequently hired by Diddy, was referred to as O'Neal, while Jane was labelled Bryant, and Combs considered himself to be Jordan.
