Diddy supporters and court pundits might think the prosecution hasn’t proved any of the criminal counts he’s facing, but Touré disagrees … arguing the government is making a lot of progress on the racketeering front.
We caught up with the music journalist Thursday on “TMZ Live,” and his take, after nearly 4 days of graphic testimony, is Diddy was allegedly committing “an ongoing rape of Cassie.”

And, Touré sees prosecutors building a strong case for a criminal conspiracy — aka racketeering — carried out by Diddy’s employees.
However, our own Harvey Levin argues he doesn’t even think the government is making that argument — and will point to other alleged actions to prove the conspiracy.
Harvey says while Cassie is telling people now she felt degraded during the freak-offs — she doesn’t appear to have ever said “no” outright to Diddy when it came to the freak-offs … arguably making it harder for a jury to convict him.
Touré pushes back here … arguing jury’s are smart enough to know Cassie probably didn’t want to have sex while suffering from a urinary tract infection or on her period — and only didn’t say “no” because Diddy allegedly controlled her life.
As you know … Cassie was on the stand again Thursday, and many of the text messages she sent to Diddy over the years — telling him she loved him and talking about enjoying the freak-offs — were read to the court.
BTW … Touré is something of a Diddy expert — telling us last year he felt Diddy’s drug addiction changed him fundamentally as a person.
We’ll have to wait and see how the jury feels … but, it looks like even our own show is split on Diddy’s fate!
