US EditionAn Ex-College Basketball Player Testifies that Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs Got ‘Extremely Creative’ on Drugs
- Brendan Paul, a former personal assistant and ex-Syracuse basketball player, testified on June 20, 2025, in Sean 'Diddy' Combs' sex trafficking trial in Lower Manhattan.
- Paul worked for Combs from late 2022 to March 2024 and was arrested at Miami's Opa-Locka airport in March 2024 for possessing cocaine he said belonged to Combs.
- Paul testified that his duties included procuring drugs for Combs' personal use and preparing hotel rooms for monthly sex parties called 'wild king nights' where Combs watched and filmed sexual acts.
- Paul stated he bought about $4,200 of marijuana every two months, denied being Combs' drug mule, said drugs enhanced Combs' creativity, and that he found cocaine unexpectedly, saying his 'heart dropped' when he saw it.
- Mr. Combs denies all charges and could face life imprisonment if found guilty, while Paul's drug-related charge was dropped following completion of a diversion program, and his testimony supports the prosecution's racketeering case.
