(Scypre.com) – In a startling development during Sean “Diddy” Combs’ ongoing federal sex trafficking and racketeering trial in Manhattan, former personal assistant David James testified that the music mogul regularly carried a variety of pills, including ecstasy tablets allegedly shaped like former President Barack Obama’s face.
James, who worked closely with Combs, described discovering between 25 to 30 pill bottles in the rapper’s toiletry bag during hotel stays. These bottles reportedly contained substances such as Percocet, Viagra, weight loss pills, and the distinctive Obama-shaped ecstasy pills.
The testimony also brought singer Usher’s name into the courtroom. While Usher has not been accused of any wrongdoing, his mention adds to the list of high-profile individuals referenced during the trial. Other celebrities mentioned include Kanye West, Michael B. Jordan, Kid Cudi, Chris Brown, and Drake, primarily in the context of Combs’ personal and professional relationships.
The trial has featured multiple testimonies from former assistants and associates, painting a picture of a chaotic and demanding environment under Combs’ employ. George Kaplan, another former assistant, testified about being responsible for cleaning up after Combs’ alleged “sex marathons,” which included disposing of drugs and other paraphernalia.
Combs’ ex-girlfriend, Cassie Ventura, has been a central figure in the trial, providing detailed accounts of alleged physical abuse and coercion into participating in drug- and sex-fueled parties, referred to as “Freak-Offs.” Her mother, Regina Ventura, corroborated these claims, expressing fear over threats made against her daughter.
Combs has pleaded not guilty to all charges, including racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking by force, fraud or coercion, and transportation for prostitution. He maintains that all sexual encounters were consensual and denies any involvement in drug distribution or abuse.
The trial continues to unfold, with more witnesses expected to testify in the coming weeks. The proceedings have captivated public attention, not only due to the serious nature of the allegations but also because of the involvement of numerous celebrities and the insights into the inner workings of Combs’ personal and professional life.
As the case progresses, the court will delve deeper into the testimonies and evidence presented, aiming to determine the validity of the charges against Combs and the extent of his alleged misconduct.
