In a federal trial involving rap mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs, disturbing photos have surfaced, shedding light on his actions just before his arrest in September 2024. As Combs prepared to surrender to authorities, images from his hotel room reveal bottles of baby oil, mood lighting, and suspicious substances, including bags of pink powder and pills believed to be ketamine and MDMA. These photos were shown to jurors as part of the trial, where Combs faces serious allegations of sex trafficking and racketeering.
Cassie, Diddy’s ex-girlfriend, provided testimony, detailing the rapper’s meticulous planning for “freak-off” events, which included baby oil, strong-scented candles, and specific lighting setups. She explained that Diddy would have wanted the oil heated before being used, and said the candles emitted overpowering scents. Cassie further accused Combs of manipulation and abuse, citing incidents like a violent altercation caught on camera. She testified about a bruise she received from Diddy during an incident in a Los Angeles hotel.
Federal agents who raided Diddy’s hotel room testified about the disturbing contents found during the arrest. In addition to the baby oil and lubricant, agents discovered drugs, including MDMA and ketamine, along with a prescription for Klonopin under the name “Frank Black,” which may be a pseudonym for Combs. Authorities also found stacks of cash and a blue light heater in the room, reinforcing suspicions of illegal activity.
Combs has pleaded not guilty to the charges, with his defense arguing that the photos depict consensual activities. As the trial continues, the evidence presented paints a troubling picture of the rapper’s behavior before his arrest.
