Sean 'Diddy' Combs verdict attracted influencer stunts and tricks

Outside the federal courthouse, some influencers showed up in Diddy-inspired costumes and sprayed each other with baby oil.

The verdict in Sean "Diddy" Combs' sex-trafficking trial attracted what you'd expect at the end of a high-profile celebrity court case in New York: dozens of news camera crews, hundreds of curious bystanders and a mass showing of law enforcement.

Overshadowing them all was a sea of influencers, content creators and provocateurs, who came out en masse for the trial's verdict Wednesday.

Combs was acquitted of racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking but found guilty of lesser charges.

The streets surrounding the federal courthouse in downtown Manhattan attracted stunts that included hostile — and livestreamed — debates, Diddy-inspired costumes and celebrants spraying one another with baby oil (which Combs’ use of in various sex acts was a frequent topic of testimony).

The spectacle was the latest example of how high-profile celebrity trials with real-world consequences have become the perfect breeding ground for online content creators to go viral.
