Sean “Diddy” Combs’ former “drug-mule” took the stand in the hip-hop mogul’s sex trafficking trial.
Following an abrupt adjournment on June 18 due to a juror’s health issues and the immediately following Juneteenth holiday on June 19, the embattled hip-hop mogul returned to Manhattan federal court for the tail end of the prosecution’s witnesses. Combs’ former assistant Brendan Paul took the stand June 20th. The 26-year-old alleged “drug mule” testified about his 2024 arrest, demanding job, working long hours and procuring ketamine and ecstasy for Combs’ “personal use.” He denied being a drug mule or witnessing criminal activity at the mogul’s “king nights,” referencing another name for Combs’ “freak off” sex parties. A Homeland Security agent also walked jurors through flight logs, texts, financial records and hotel reports tied to Combs.
