Diddy’s ‘alter ego’ and shocking demands are exposed in court by his former assistant
He has claimed Diddy used an alias, and made him take lie detector tests
The trial of Sean “Diddy” Combs is into its second week, and today his former personal assistant took to the stand to share testimony. 55-year-old Diddy faces charges including racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking, and transportation to engage in prostitution. He has pleaded not guilty and has denied all allegations.
David James was called as a witness, and today exposed the “alter ego” Diddy would use, and alleged claims the music star would make. James worked for Diddy between 2007 and 2009.
He claimed Diddy carried a designer bag of 30 pill bottles around with him. James told the court Diddy took drugs including Obama-shaped ecstasy pills and Viagra every day for years. He told the jury part of his job as a personal assistant was to book hotel rooms for Diddy, under the alias “Frank Black”.

James said he stocked these rooms with food, drinks, and toiletries. He testified to say he was tasked with filling hotel rooms with applesauce, Jello, Fiji water, and Ciroc vodka for Diddy. He told the court he was often expected to work 20-hour days.
On top of this, James said his former boss had him take a lie detector test at least twice whilst working for him. These were after money went missing, and on a second occasion when a watch went missing. “It was very intimidating,” James testified. “I had never taken a lie detector test before.”
He also claimed Diddy kept various pill bottles a Louis Vuitton pouch. Previous witnesses Cassie Ventura and Dawn Richard both testified that Combs called this his “med bag.” It’s claimed in the bag were Viagra, weight loss pills, Percocet, ecstasy, water pills, and “sperm booster” pills.

“There were various pills but one was in the form of a former president’s face,” James told the jury. He then clarified the ecstasy pills were shaped like Barack Obama, and said Diddy used drugs “every day”.
According to The Sun, federal investigators previously found pills prescribed to a Frank Black. Pictures have just been released of a hotel room Diddy was staying in on the night of his arrest. They shows ziplock bags filled with baby oil and Astroglide, a lighter and lubricant, and two bags of pink powder – one of which tested positive for ketamine, and the other for a ketamine-MDMA mixture. Roughly $9,000 in cash was also found bundled near the bed.
James also told the court he often saw Diddy and ex girlfriend Cassie Ventura argue, but never witnessed any physical violence. “I never had conversations with Cassie or Mr. Combs about their personal affairs,” he said.
Diddy has denied all allegations. The trial continues.
