Danity Kane singer Dawn Richard testified for the prosecution in the Diddy trial, if he didn't get his way, "People could go missing."

Prosecutors were clearly homing in on the racketeering charge against Diddy, as Richard was asked what she thought Diddy meant by that. Richard's reply ... "That people could die."

Richard was also called to buttress Cassie's testimony last week. Richard testified how she personally observed Diddy "drag her, and kick her, and punch her in the mouth."

Drake is attempting to change the narrative following the Toronto Maple Leafs' bad Game 7 loss on Sunday ... claiming he's not the real curse to all his favorite sports teams -- it's actually Justin Bieber.

The Canadian singer and his wife, Hailey, made their way to Scotiabank Arena to catch his beloved squad's clash with the Florida Panthers in person ... electing to rock a fun 'fit instead of Leafs merch.

Unfortunately for Bieber, the Maple Leafs lost the Round 2 game in a 6-1 defeat ... and after the rough outing, his fellow Canadian jokingly pointed the finger at him.

We've obtained exclusive video from a December 2018 studio session where French Montana's showing his album to Diddy and singer-songwriter Nelly.

The rapper took to Instagram Friday night to share a change.org link with the caption "@torylanez come home soon" ... and, the link led to a petition calling on the governor to "Correct a Deep Injustice" and pardon Tory.

According to the petition, Tory's conviction wasn't supported by enough physical evidence ... and, they feel the justice system straight up railroaded the guy and landed him a 10-year sentence.

Diddy's federal trial kicked off earlier this week ... and, Cassie took the stand for several days of testimony -- reading dozens of text messages during proceedings.

Those texts -- which appeared across 162 pages of legal documents -- have now been entered as public evidence exhibits ... and, we've compiled some of the most shocking for you to peruse.

It's mostly lawyer speak ... though Diddy's attorneys do say early on in the docs that she's essentially trying to ride the wave of negative press around Diddy to a payout -- writing Dawn "seeks to transform narratives of alleged injuries against others into a headline-grabbing sex trafficking conspiracy as to her."
