Tuesday’s courtroom session in the Sean “Diddy” Combs trial brought new revelations — starting with the weapons found during last year’s federal raid in Miami. Testifying on the stand, Special Agent Gerard Gannon confirmed several of the guns seized from Diddy’s Star Island mansion had their serial numbers removed. The images shown in court featured firearms, ammunition, and magazines — alongside other seized items that raised eyebrows, including sexually explicit materials.
Later, the jury heard from Sharay Hayes, a dancer who went by the name “The Punisher,” who described working closely with Diddy and Cassie Ventura. Hayes said many of the performances felt orchestrated by Diddy, painting a picture of someone who blurred the lines between employer and director. While he claimed the acts appeared consensual, the testimony raised questions about control and pressure in high-end settings.
Testimonies Shed Light on Diddy’s Inner Circle and Miami Raid
Diddy’s former personal assistant, David James, returned to the witness stand with a behind-the-scenes look at life inside Combs’ inner circle. He recalled a confrontation between Diddy and his private chef, after which Combs allegedly asked James to file a police report on his behalf — a request James refused, calling it dishonest. His story hinted at an environment driven by power moves and blurred boundaries, where employees were expected to protect the brand, even if it meant bending the truth.
Agent Gannon also broke down the scope of the Miami raid, describing how law enforcement combed through the 20,000-square-foot home with multiple coordinated teams. His testimony gave shape to the early stages of the investigation, as prosecutors built their case around the items seized from the estate. Up next: all eyes are on Kid Cudi, who could take the stand as early as Wednesday. Prosecutors are also expected to call former chef Jourdan Atkinson and other witnesses tied closely to Diddy’s inner circle.
