Barack Obama's Name Surfaces in Explosive P Diddy Lawsuit Testimony

As American rapper Sean P Diddy Combs’s sexual assault trial enters its third week, another famous person has been name-dropped.

President Barack Obama was mentioned in a testimony as one of Sean “Diddy” Combs’ former workers recounted what happened in his hotel rooms.

Diddy’s ex-assistant, David James, testified that Combs would have a travel bag filled with “25 to 30″ pill bottles.

“There were various pills, but one was in the form of a former president’s face,” he said.

Prosecutor Christy Slavik asked him to specify which former president was on the pill. The assistant responded: “President Obama.”

James, who worked for Diddy from 2002 to 2008, recounted that the Bad Boy Records founder carried at least $10,000 in cash, Advil, Tylenol, Viagra and “pills to increase his sperm count” in his Louis Vuitton bag, as well as having “percocet and ecstasy” packed.

The record mogul is currently on trial for racketeering, sex trafficking and transportation to engage in prostitution. On the week of May 12, 2025, his ex-partner, Cassie Ventura, testified about their relationship and the notorious freak-offs.

Under cross-examination, Ventura testified that Combs would usually have an “explosive” reaction when she took drugs without him.

Defense attorney Anna Estevao asked if the pills had to do with his mood swings. Ventura replied that it “was a part.”

When she was questioned if she thought Combs was a drug addict, she replied, “I would say he was an addict.” She also confirmed that he would feel angry or be volatile when he was going through withdrawals. “I’m not a doctor,” Ventura said, but “coming off of certain pills, he would be pretty irritated.”

Combs was arrested in Manhattan on Sept. 16, 2024 where federal agents found $9000 cash, illegal drugs, baby oil, lubricant and a device that the federal agent said could be used for “mood lighting” in the room. Diddy’s trial is expected to go until July 2025.
