As Sean “Diddy” Combs’ high-profile sex trafficking trial rolled into its fifth day, the courtroom heard explosive new details that added yet another layer to the already complex and disturbing case.
What started as a probe into alleged abuse has now ballooned into a sprawling investigation involving drugs, sex parties, secret recordings, and unsettling power dynamics — all centered around one of hip-hop’s most powerful figures.
Hotel Room Raid Reveals a Shocking Scene
Federal agent Yasin Binda, who works with Homeland Security’s human trafficking unit, took the stand to recount what authorities found in Diddy’s Manhattan hotel suite the day he was arrested, back in September 2024.
Inside room 2115 of the Park Hyatt, investigators discovered a stockpile that seemed more fitting for a wild party than a quiet stay: ketamine, MDMA, and what might have been pink cocaine.
They also came across a closet packed with bags of Johnson’s baby oil and Astroglide lubricant — substances that have become recurring references in the allegations against Combs.
There was also mood lighting, and a prescription for Klonopin under the alias “Frank Black,” which prosecutors suggest may have been a pseudonym used by Combs himself.
The music mogul had reportedly been holed up in New York for 11 days, possibly anticipating his arrest.
Cassie Faces Final Day on the Stand
Friday also marked the conclusion of Cassie Ventura’s intense cross-examination.
Diddy’s former partner and one of his primary accusers, Cassie was questioned extensively by the defense, particularly over an infamous 2016 video.
In the footage, Combs is seen dragging, kicking, and assaulting her in a Los Angeles hotel hallway.
Cassie was asked to read from a text she sent Combs that day, pleading, “I’m not a rag doll.
I’m somebody’s child.”
She described him as being intoxicated and violent, and testified that he would often take her phone, car, or even her watch during fits of anger — especially when he felt jealous over her interactions with other men, including a football player and singer Chris Brown.
The Defense Paints a Complicated Picture
Combs’ legal team did their best to chip away at Cassie’s credibility.
They pointed to messages where she expressed love for Combs, even after incidents of abuse.
Cassie admitted she remained in the relationship, and even cheated on her now-husband, Alex Fine, with Combs during that time.
Despite everything, when asked if she hated him, Cassie simply said, “I don’t hate him.”
Her testimony, though, remained firm. She described Combs as an abusive partner with a drug problem, someone who manipulated and controlled her.
She said she eventually walked away for good in 2018 after seeing a photo of Combs with another woman — a moment she described as the final straw.
A Web of Sex, Power, and Alleged Blackmail
Cassie also dropped another bombshell in court — revealing that she and Diddy had been involved in sexual encounters with Jonathan Oddi, a former porn star who made headlines in 2018 for opening fire at Trump’s Doral resort in Florida.
Oddi, who claimed during his arrest that he was a “sex slave” for Combs, reportedly signed a non-disclosure agreement with the mogul in exchange for $5 million.
Cassie testified that she feared Oddi had secretly recorded their encounters.
When she raised the concern with Combs, she said he promised to “handle it.”
Her distrust of Oddi, and the fear of a leaked sex tape, added to the emotional toll she described.
Cassie Breaks Down Over Her Past
As prosecutors played a 2013 recording of Cassie frantically pleading with a man who claimed to have a sex tape of her, emotions spilled over in court.
In the tape, she threatened the man not to release it — saying, “I’ve never killed anyone in my life, but I will kill you.”
The jury heard how Combs worked behind the scenes to keep the video buried.
Cassie also told the court that she canceled a tour after reaching a $20 million settlement with Combs, saying the emotional strain was too much to bear.
“I’d give that money back if I never had to have Freak Offs,” she said, referring to the disturbing sexual gatherings she alleged Combs orchestrated.
Settlement with the Hotel and a Look Ahead
Cassie revealed she is also set to receive a $10 million settlement from the Intercontinental Hotel in Los Angeles — the site of the 2016 assault captured on security footage.
She said the deal was recent and the amount was an estimate.
Meanwhile, Diddy appeared visibly unsettled in court, rubbing his head and occasionally blowing kisses to his mother.
He has insisted all of the sexual activity in question was consensual and claims he’s being vilified unfairly.
More Witnesses and Bigger Questions
Up next on the witness list is Dawn Richard, a singer from Diddy’s girl group Danity Kane.
She’s expected to testify that Combs sexually assaulted her, deprived her of food and sleep, and refused to pay her properly — adding yet another troubling chapter to the saga.
As the trial continues, it paints a portrait of a man who allegedly used his fame and power to control, manipulate, and exploit — and a woman who is finally speaking her truth, no matter how painful it is to relive.
