Diddy‘s new appearance from months spent behind bars has seen him compared to a “fuzzy koala” by a notable YouTuber.
Stephanie Soo, who has almost five million subscribers on YouTube, attended the second day of jury selection in the trial and offered her take on proceedings to her fans.
In a video, she said: “The way he looks… you know koalas when they get fuzzy and it’s really humid and they have very fuzzy, greyish, whitish hair, he is kind of reminiscent to that.”
It was previously revealed during a previous hearing that Diddy had gone grey and was also sporting a grey beard.

While no photographs of Diddy with the new look have been released, he has been sketched by courtroom artists and also appears to be noticeably slimmer.

The swift change in Diddy’s appearance has led to rumors that the Bad Boy Records founder was dying his hair and beard before his arrest.
Appearing in front of the judge on the first day of the trial, Diddy admitted to the judge that he was feeling the nerves.
He said: “I’m sorry your honor, I’m a little nervous today.”
The Bad Boy Records founder made the admission around 90 minutes into the selection process as he requested a brief break to go to the bathroom.

The judge initially refused Diddy’s request but quickly changed his mind and allowed the record executive to go to the toilet.
The jury selection process has seen potential jurors questioned about if they are aware of some of the high profile people involved in the case such as Dawn Richard and Aubrey O’Day.
Potential jurors have also been asked if they recognize celebrity names such as Kanye West, Michael B. Jordan and Mike Myers.

During the process, Diddy could be seen communicating with his attorneys about whether they should dismiss certain jurors or not.
It is thought following opening statements that the actual trial will last for between eight to ten weeks.
Diddy has pleaded not guilty to all counts and has repeatedly insisted that all sexual activity was consensual.
If found guilty, he faces the prospect of decades in prison.
