DOPE DIDDY: DIDDY’S DRUG MULE TELLS ALL

Sean "Diddy' Combs federal sex trafficking and racketeering trial resumes after an expected juror illness, Wednesday and Juneteenth Holiday, Thursday. After this two day pause, the government's case winds down as they bring on their last witness, former assistant to Diddy, Brendan Paul and Diddy's alleged "drug mule." 

Paul is arrested in March 2024 right around the same time Combs' homes in Miami and Los Angeles were raided by federal authorities. Paul's arrest consists of coke and weed-related charges at the Miami-Opa Locka Airport that March. The former assistant's charges were ultimately dismissed after he completed a pretrial diversion program. Paul was described as a "mule" for Combs in a 2024 federal lawsuit against the mogul by producer Lil Rod. "He acquires, and distributes, Mr. Combs Drugs, and Guns," the suit reads.

On the stand, Paul tells jurors he was more than just an assistant, he was Diddy’s go-to man for drugs, including cocaine, ketamine, MDMA (aka “tusi”), ecstasy, prescription pills, and high-grade weed. When asked about his relationship with Combs, Paul says " it is complicated." Paul testifies to working between 80 and 100 hours a week and the cocaine found on his person at the time of his 2024 arrest was left over from his cleaning of Diddy’s room. Paul claims he personally witnessed the use of coke, ketamine, ecstasy, weed, and more by his former boss, Diddy.
