Barack Obama dragged into Diddy scandal as president is named in court
Share and Follow

Former President Barack Obama was bizarrely named in Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs’ ongoing federal trial in shocking testimony about drug-taking at the rapper’s infamous ‘freak off’ parties. 

The moment came as Diddy’s former personal assistant David James testified on Tuesday, saying A-listers would pop pills including Percocet and ecstasy at the parties. 

He did not say Obama was ever in attendance at the parties – but said celebrities would celebrate with ‘various pills in the shape of the former president’s face’, the court heard. 

It came as James claimed that Diddy would take copious amounts of drugs through the day, and often travelled with a medicine bag containing dozens of pills. 

‘Some advil, tylenol,’ he said. ‘He had water pills to help him lose weight, viagra, pills that helped increase his sperm count.’ 

James said Diddy’s daily drug taking would involve Percocets during the day before he would move onto ecstasy at night. 

The former personal assistant began crying during his testimony on Tuesday as he described his time working for Diddy, and said he was often instructed to set up the ‘freak off’ sexual performance sessions. 

He said he took ecstasy at one of the parties, which he claimed Diddy filmed and threatened to humiliate him with as blackmail.

James grew emotional as he recalled that when he first began working for Diddy, an executive at Bad Boy Entertainment told him his job was to please the mogul.

‘I remember sitting at her desk and there was a picture of Mr Combs on the wall,’ James told the court. 

‘She pointed at the wall and said this is Mr. Combs kingdom. We’re all here to serve him.’ 

It came as several other A-listers were dragged into the ongoing federal trial after being named by key witnesses on the stand. 

Singing icon Usher was also dramatically named by Cassie Ventura’s former best friend Dawn Richards, a former member of girl group Danity Kane that was signed to Diddy’s Bad Boy Records label. 

Richards testified that Usher was in attendance at a star-studded dinner when the disgraced rap mogul assaulted Cassie Ventura in a restaurant.

The alleged altercation occurred in 2010 at a dinner where the singer joined Diddy and Cassie, alongside rapper Ne-Yo and Interscope Records co-founder Jimmy Iovine.  

According to Richards, Diddy ‘punched Cassie in the stomach’ at the restaurant after the couple moved to a separate room.

She said she saw Cassie ‘immediately bend over’ after sustaining the blow, and said ‘no one intervened’ but did not clarify if the other celebrities in attendance saw the punch directly.

Richards said Diddy then told Cassie ‘to leave’ the restaurant, but on their way out she alleged that he grabbed her ‘by the neck and popped her, slapped her in the mouth.’

Richards worked with Diddy for years in the early 200s, and she alleged in her testimony on Monday that she regularly saw Diddy beat Cassie.

‘He would punch her, choke her, drag her, slap her in the mouth,’ she said.

The singer previously took the stand on Friday, where she alleged that she also witnessed Diddy assault Cassie with a skillet of eggs in 2009.

She alleged that Diddy turned on his partner after the attack and threatened to make her disappear if she crossed him.

‘He said you could go missing, that we could die,’ she testified.
