The Shocking Testimony That Had the Courtroom Buzzing
Just when we thought we’ve heard it all in Diddy’s sex trafficking and racketeering trial, here comes another jaw-dropper. Diddy’s former assistant, David James, took the stand on Day 7 of the trial in New York City—and whew, he did not hold back.
Under questioning from the prosecution, James admitted to being deep in Diddy’s lifestyle. When asked if he had ever taken ecstasy, James replied without hesitation:
“Yes. I was drinking Ciroc, I took ecstasy, I was ‘Diddy-bopping.’”
He clarified the phrase for the jury, saying:
“I was vibing.”
According to James, that “vibing” didn’t come without a cost. He said Diddy used those moments as leverage. While high and enjoying the party, James revealed he was being recorded by one of Diddy’s videographers—a crew that documented the mogul’s notorious late-night events.
“Hey Playboy, was that you dancing around at the party?”
That’s what Diddy reportedly asked him afterward. James said Diddy then warned him the footage would be kept on hand—just in case.
When asked to explain what that meant, James testified:
“That I’d be embarrassed.”
Diddy, Cassie, and the “Freak Off” Allegations
Things got even tenser when the conversation turned to Diddy’s former partner, Cassie Ventura. Surprisingly, James stated that during his time working with the couple, he never saw Diddy put hands on her.
That nugget comes as prosecutors have painted a horrific picture of what Cassie endured behind closed doors—including allegations of drug-fueled “Freak Off” parties that forced women to perform for Diddy and his associates.
As previously reported, the charges against Sean “Diddy” Combs are heavy. He stands accused of:
— Racketeering conspiracy
— Sex trafficking
— Transporting women for prostitution across state lines
Federal prosecutors allege Diddy orchestrated a full-blown sex ring, where he manipulated women into degrading acts while under the influence. Cassie, a key witness, claims she was part of these forced performances—and even submitted video evidence to back her claims.
“Diddy-Bopping” Becomes a Courtroom Buzzword
James’ use of the phrase “Diddy-bopping” instantly went viral across social media, turning into a meme and a moment that summed up the wild, unpredictable nature of the case. But underneath the laughs lies a darker truth—this wasn’t just some party gone too far. This was a tactic.
His testimony painted Diddy as a man who not only partied hard but allegedly used drugs, sex, and camera footage to manipulate those around him—including his own employees.
That type of coercion, prosecutors argue, fits right into the larger federal case that portrays Diddy as the orchestrator of an exploitative criminal enterprise.
It’s important to note that Diddy has pleaded not guilty to all charges. His legal team argues these stories are sensational and exaggerated, meant to damage his career and reputation.
What Happens Next in Diddy’s Explosive Trial?
As the trial moves forward, the public and media are laser-focused on what each witness will reveal next. With more insiders expected to testify, including others from Diddy’s inner circle, things are only heating up.
Many are also waiting to see if additional footage surfaces—particularly the “Freak Off” tapes that have already been hinted at in court documents.
David James’ testimony is just one piece of the puzzle, but it offered the clearest look yet at the intersection of celebrity, control, and corruption. This ain’t just another Hollywood scandal. It’s a full-on federal case that could change the music industry forever.
Stay tuned—we’ll be bringing you all the updates as this courtroom drama continues to unfold.
