US EditionEx-Personal Assistant Testifies that He Bought Drugs for Sean 'Diddy' Combs
MANHATTAN, NEW YORK CITY, JUN 21 – Brendan Paul testified spending $500 up to 10 times on drugs for Sean Combs and preparing hotel rooms for monthly sex parties during the racketeering trial.
- Brendan Paul, a former personal assistant to Sean 'Diddy' Combs, testified on June 20, 2025, at Combs' sex trafficking trial in New York.
- Brendan Paul was employed by Sean Combs for approximately 18 months until March 2024, and he was taken into custody for cocaine possession on March 25, 2024, at Miami's Opa-Locka Executive Airport while traveling with Combs.
- During his testimony, Paul stated that he purchased drugs such as marijuana, ketamine, cocaine, ecstasy, and pink cocaine known as tusi for Combs’ personal use on fewer than ten occasions, and he also prepared hotel accommodations for events referred to as "wild king nights," which involved sexual activities.
- Paul explained he did not disclose the cocaine source out of "loyalty," completed a six-month pretrial diversion program leading to dismissal of his drug charge, and said he procured drugs to prove loyalty while believing the drugs enhanced Combs' creativity.
- Combs has denied all allegations and rejected the charges against him, while prosecutors rely on Paul's testimony to support their racketeering conspiracy case, which involves claims that company resources were used to coerce women.
