Watch: Sean “Diddy” Combs Carried Pills With Barack Obama’s Face On Them, Former Assistant Says

 

Sean “Diddy” Combs had an homage to Barack Obama in his travel bag.

 

 

As the rapper’s federal trial for sex trafficking and racketeering continues, his former assistant David James shared that he often carried around “25 to 30” undisclosed pill bottles, including a set of pills that had the 44th president’s face on them.

“There were various pills, but one was in the form of a former president’s face,” James said on the witness stand, according to court transcripts obtained by NBC News. And when asked to specify the former United States leader, James noted, “President Obama.”

E! News has reached out to Obama’s team regarding James’ testimony but has not yet heard back.

Combs’ stash of pills—which James testified he regularly traveled with—also included vials of Viagra, Tylenol, Percocet, Advil, ecstasy, water pills and pills to “increase sperm count.”

According to NBC News, who also had reporters in the courtroom, James testified that his former employer also required at least $10,000 in cash amid his travels, adding, “and sometimes much more.”

Elsewhere in his testimony, James noted that Combs required him to purchase baby oil, lubricant and condoms with cash, and would “personally” reimburse him for the purchases so they would remain off company books.

And while James—who signed a proffer prior to his testimony—noted that he did not find Combs to be a “gracious” boss, he reached a point of no return in 2008, when he decided to vacate his position following an incident in which Combs allegedly threatened musical rival Surge Knight with firearms. (Knight is currently serving a 28-year prison sentence for manslaughter following a 2015 hit-and-run.)

“I was really shook up by it,” James said on the witness stand, per NBC News, of the incident. “This was the first time as his assistant that I realized my life was in danger. I told them I want to leave but give six months notice so I could train the next assistant.”

Combs’ trial is expected to last until July. He has pleaded not guilty to all charges, and has also maintained his innocence in separate allegations of sexual assault that have come out since his arrest.

(E! News and NBC News are both a part of the NBCUniversal family.)
