Ex-assistant to Sean 'Diddy' Combs says job included buying drugs, setting up sex parties

Sean 'Diddy' Combs's former personal assistant has testified at the hip-hop mogul's sex trafficking trial that he often bought drugs for his boss and set up hotel rooms for sex parties known as "wild king nights." Prosecutors hope the testimony by Brendan Paul, who worked for Mr Combs from late 2022 through March 2024, will help them prove their racketeering conspiracy charge against Mr Combs. Prosecutors say Mr Combs used his businesses' resources to coerce women into ecstasy-fueled sexual performances with male sex workers. Mr Combs, 55, has pleaded not guilty to all five criminal counts. His lawyers call the sexual activity consensual. The Bad Boy Records founder, a former billionaire who elevated hip-hop in American culture, could face life in prison if convicted. Prosecutors are winding down their case after six weeks, with defense witnesses expected to testify next week. Mr Paul, testifying under immunity from prosecutors, said he bought Mr Combs about $4,200 of marijuana and hundreds of dollars of ketamine during his employment. Jurors saw a text message in which Mr Paul asked Mr Combs's security staff to be reimbursed for his drug purchases. They also saw a 14 February 2024 text message in which Mr Combs wrote "You get me zans," which Mr Paul said was a request to procure Xanax without a prescription. Paul said Combs ultimately obtained Xanax elsewhere, and used cocaine and ecstasy in his presence. Under cross-examination by defense lawyer Brian Steel, Mr Paul said procuring drugs was a minor part of his job, and he thought the drugs were solely for Mr Combs's personal use. "You were not some drug mule?" Mr Steel asked. "Absolutely not," Mr Paul said. Mr Paul also said that before three or four "wild king nights," he stocked hotel rooms with lubricant, baby oil, liquor and a Gucci pouch filled with hard drugs. When Mr Combs was done, Mr Paul said he would put on gloves and clean up to avoid being billed by hotels for damage. Mr Paul said he was charged with cocaine possession after being arrested on 25 March 2024, at Miami-Opa Locka airport in Florida while traveling to the Bahamas with Mr Combs and other staffers. He said he put the cocaine in his bag after finding it while cleaning Mr Combs's room that day, but forgot about it and did not tell law enforcement where it came from. Asked by prosecutor Christy Slavik why he kept silent, Mr Paul said, "Loyalty."

Terence Crawford reveals why Canelo Alvarez fight is biggest in 20 YEARS… and lifts lid on sharing dinner with rival

TERENCE CRAWFORD says he is on the verge of boxing's greatest fight in 20 YEARS with Canelo Alvarez - after they broke bread over dinner. The unbeaten American steps up to super-middleweight to challenge Mexico's undisputed champion 3 Terence Crawford shares dinner with Turki Alalshikh and Canelo Alvarez Crawford compared the bout to one of boxing's biggest and said: "Over the last 20 years I can definitely say it's up there." UFC boss Dana White enters the boxing space to promote the fight and Netflix will broadcast. They debuted in boxing in November when over 100 MILLION But Crawford - a three-weight world champ with 41 straight wins - says he and 67-fight icon Canelo are the real stars of the show. READ MORE IN boxing He said: "Me and Canelo is the talent without me and Canelo this wouldn't be happening. "So me and Canelo are definitely making this event as massive as possible given the work and body of work that he's put in the sport the body of work that I've put in the sport. "The accomplishments that he has, the accomplishments that I have in the sport. "So when you look at it, we did this together with the work that he did and the work that I did." Most read in Boxing 3 CASINO SPECIAL - BEST CASINO BONUSES FROM £10 DEPOSITS The mutual respect extended to a dinner together with Saudi boxing supremo Turki Alalshikh - a day before their Riyadh launch press conference. But Crawford promised to leave a bad taste in the ring as he said: "I don't need no dislike to fight Canelo. "I don't need to hate him, I don't need to dislike him. But come fight night, the dislike and the hatred will be there." Canelo has won titles in four divisions and remains the sport's biggest draw after 20 years as a professional when he started aged 15. Crawford meanwhile defends his prized undefeated record at the Las Vegas Raiders' £1BILLION, 65,000-seat stadium. And he dubbed it the most important fight of his life as he looks to replicate the same success he achieved at 140lb and 147lb. He said: "Everything is up for grabs. Three-time undisputed, three different weight classes, going up two weight divisions. "Undefeated in the 168 division in Canelo Alvarez. Another all-time great, Hall of Famer in Canelo Alvarez. Everything is on the line in this fight." Canelo won back his undisputed throne at 168lb in May with a laboured win over Cuban William Scull, 32, in Saudi. He faced off afterwards with Crawford, 37, who is yet to return since winning the 154 WBA belt last August against Israil Madrimov, 30. And the Omaha hero - who has a street named after him in Nebraska - warned the pressure is shared between the superstar pair. He said: "We both wanna win. I don't see why it's less pressure on me. I wanna win, I don't wanna lose! I'm not gonna lose. "I want to become undisputed in three weight classes." 3 Crawford facing off with Canelo Credit: Getty
