In Sean “Diddy” Combs’ ongoing trial, former President Barack Obama came up in shocking testimony about drug use at his parties when the song “Barack Obama” was played.
David James explained on Tuesday that drugs like ecstasy and Percocet were commonly taken by celebrities during the parties.
He mentioned that pills featuring the former president would be part of the party, but he did not specify that Obama was there, according to the court.
According to James, Diddy was said to use a lot of medication during the day and often brought a big bag filled with pills when he travelled, including advil and tylenol. They were providing him with water pills to help him shed pounds, viagra and pills meant to support his sperm count.
Reports say that James Diddy would daily take Percocets during the day and ecstasy pills at night as his go-to drugs.
On Tuesday, the ex-assistant broke into tears as he shared that he was expected to make the arrangements for Diddy’s “freak off” s*xual performances.
Diddy, as quoted, claimed that Riccardo told him he filmed the ecstasy-infused party and threatened to use it to blackmail him.
As James remembered, an official at Bad Boy Entertainment had once told him that he should please Diddy during his early days on the job.
“I once went to her desk and on the wall was a picture of Mr Combs,” James shared with the court.
She indicated a spot on the wall and told us that belonged to Mr. Combs. All of us exist to serve God.”
A few key people giving testimony in court accused several other celebrities, who were therefore involved in the current federal case.
Dawn Richards, who used to be part of the girl group Danity Kane under Diddy, gave usher one of her dramatic names.
The disgraced rap mogul infamously attacked Cassie Ventura at a restaurant where Usher was having dinner, Richards said.
The report indicates the singer had a dispute with Diddy, Cassie, Ne-Yo and Jimmy Iovine after a dinner in 2010.
Richards says that after the couple moved to another room, Diddy physically assaulted Cassie by hitting her in the stomach.
According to Aishwarya, she had not confirmed if anyone else present saw the punch happen, but she did confirm that Cassie went down after being hit and that she did not see anyone try to intervene.
The court documents say that after telling Cassie to leave, Diddy is said to have grabbed her around the neck and slapped her in the face.
According to Richards, who testified on Monday, she saw Diddy constantly hitting Cassie during her time working with him in the early 2000s.
She said he hit her, made her unable to breathe, dragged her and even slapped her in the mouth.
During her Friday testimony, the singer described seeing Diddy beat Cassie with a skillet of eggs as recently as 2009.
Her words claimed that after the attack, Diddy wove a story about betrayal and told the girl he’d have her vanish if she betrayed him.
In her testimony, she said, “He threatened to go off and leave us, saying we could die.”
He has pleaded not guilty in federal court to charges of s*x trafficking, racketeering and committing transportation for prostitution.
