Former Assistant Testifies About Challenges and Illegal Activities Connected to Sean “Diddy” Combs

Brendan Paul, once a personal assistant to Sean “Diddy” Combs, testified that during his employment, he often used drugs like Adderall and cocaine to stay awake for extended periods, sometimes up to three days, to meet the demanding expectations of his employer. Paul described the work environment as “intense,” with Combs expecting his staff to operate with the precision of a military unit to ensure his satisfaction.

Paul, who has immunity in the ongoing federal trial, revealed that Kristina “KK” Khorram, Combs’ former chief of staff, largely managed the enterprise’s operations. Early on, Paul helped prepare and deliver large quantities of marijuana, and he admitted to purchasing various drugs, including ecstasy, cocaine, and ketamine, for the rapper.

He was also involved in procuring illegal substances for Combs, including purchasing over $4,000 worth of marijuana from a former assistant. His legal troubles escalated in April 2024 when he was named in a lawsuit alleging that he acted as a “mule” in drug and gun trafficking operations linked to Combs.

In September, Combs faced multiple charges, including racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking by force, fraud, or coercion, and transportation for prostitution. The trial has now entered its 28th day, with prosecutors preparing to conclude their case. The defense has requested additional time to present their evidence, which could extend the trial further.

Key Evidence and Testimony

Paul testified about his role in supplying drugs for Combs and detailed the operations behind the scenes of the celebrity’s alleged illegal enterprise.
