Former Danity Kane singer Aubrey O’Day will not take the stand in the high-profile federal trial of Sean “Diddy” Combs, she told T.J. Holmes and Amy Robach in the premiere episode of a new podcast about the trial.
The 41-year-old artist, who rose to fame on MTV’s Making the Band under Diddy’s guidance, had made a May 14 Instagram post that some believed hinted at a possible court appearance at Diddy's trial.
She posted a video from New York City with the caption, “Hey New York!!! Where y’all think I should head first?” She added a weighing scale emoji, commonly associated with justice.
Despite the post and earlier reports that she had been subpoenaed, PEOPLE can confirm O'Day will not testify, as she was not subpoenaed by the prosecution or the defense."

In the premiere episode of iHeart Radio's Amy Robach & T.J. Holmes Present: Aubrey O'Day, Covering the Diddy Trial, O'Day told Holmes, "No, I'm not here to testify for the Diddy trial, that I know of." She went on to claim that she "was contacted by Homeland Security" and "did have a meeting with Homeland Security."
"I posted on my Instagram that I was here in New York and enjoying myself because I wanted to make it clear to everyone that I am not here testifying," O'Day said.
PEOPLE reached out to Homeland Security but has not heard back.
Combs, 55, has pleaded not guilty to multiple federal charges, including racketeering and sex trafficking. He was arrested in September 2024 and is currently being held without bail at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn. If convicted, he faces a potential life sentence.
Casandra "Cassie" Ventura, Combs’ former girlfriend, has already made bombshell statements in her testimony during the trial.
On May 13, Ventura described a relationship marked by emotional abuse and coercion. She told the court that she participated in sex parties — referred to as “Freak Offs” — because she “loved him so much.”
Her testimony resumed the following day with a detailed account of the 2016 incident captured in hotel surveillance footage, later released publicly by CNN.
Ventura had earlier filed a civil lawsuit against Combs, alleging rape and physical abuse. Although the case was settled for $20 million, it led to a wave of allegations that now underpin the ongoing criminal investigation.
The trial, which began with opening statements on May 12, is expected to last several weeks.
Combs denies all allegations.
More episodes of Aubrey O’Day, Covering The Diddy Trial will be released throughout the trial.
