Sean 'Diddy' Combs has been indicted on additional federal charges, bringing the total against him to five, including racketeering and sex trafficking.
The 55-year-old music mogul, who previously faced three counts, has pleaded not guilty.
His trial in Manhattan Federal Court is set to begin on 5 May.
Prosecutors allege that Mr Combs used his business empire to exploit women between 2004 and 2024.
His defence team has not yet commented on the latest charges.
Also known during his career as Puff Daddy and P. Diddy, Mr Combs founded Bad Boy Records and is credited with helping turn rappers and R&B singers such as Mary J. Blige, Faith Evans, Notorious B.I.G. and Usher into stars in the 1990s and 2000s.
