The Mega Edition: Testimony From Day 7 Of The Diddy Trial (7/2/25)

Beyond The Horizon

On Day 7 of Sean "Diddy" Combs' federal trial, former personal assistant David James provided detailed testimony about his time working for Combs from 2007 to 2009. James described a demanding work environment, stating that he was responsible for preparing hotel rooms with specific items, including a toiletry bag containing 25 to 30 pill bottles—some unmarked—and personal items like baby oil and condoms, which he purchased with cash provided by Combs' security team. He testified that Combs carried pills shaped like former President Barack Obama's face and consumed drugs daily, including ecstasy and Percocet. James also recounted being subjected to lie detector tests on two occasions when items went missing, feeling he couldn't refuse.
James further testified about an incident in 2008 involving Combs and rival music producer Suge Knight. He recounted that after a confrontation at a Los Angeles diner, Combs armed himself with three handguns and ordered James to drive him back to the location to confront Knight. James expressed fear for his life during this event, stating it was the first time he felt truly endangered while working for Combs. This incident led him to resign from his position.
