Summary

Brendan Paul took the stand today and gave the jury a front-row seat to life inside Diddy’s inner circle. The former assistant talked about drugs, hotel setups, freak-offs, and the moment he got arrested with cocaine in a Gucci bag he says was used to carry Diddy’s belongings. He denied being a drug mule but admitted to buying drugs for Diddy more than five times. In this episode of Drop Dead Serious, Ashleigh Banfield breaks down Brendan Paul’s explosive testimony and the federal agent who’s now tying it all together.

He was the king of Bad Boy Records: a billionaire mogul, a Grammy winner, and the face of luxury in hip-hop. Sean “Diddy” Combs is facing a slew of federal charges in New York, accused of running a criminal enterprise for over two decades. Combs has pleaded not guilty to all charges and maintains his innocence.

Hi, everyone. I'm Ashley Banfield, and this is Drop Dead Serious. It was day 27 of the federal trial against Sean Diddy Combs. And today, we heard from a man who had the front row seat to the chaos,

0:20.0

Brendan Paul, Diddy's former assistant and someone

0:23.7

who the government says was Diddy's drug mule. He took the stand and he described a world

0:29.8

fueled by drugs, secrecy, and demands around the clock. We also heard from a Homeland

0:36.6

Security agent who began walking the jury through a massive

0:41.0

digital paper trail.

0:43.2

Before we get into today's testimony, though, we have to talk about some of the jaw-dropping

0:47.6

new evidence that was just released.

0:49.3

And can I say, I love covering trials when the evidence includes a designer handbag that costs

0:56.2

upwards of $6,000. A handbag the prosecutors say was used to stash Diddy's cocaine. Yeah, don't we all

1:04.8

kind of wish we had, you know, a couple extra designer handbags to toss around for various

and sundry little tasks.

1:11.3

I'm going to tell you all about the brand and a story behind it.

1:14.4

Trust me, I thought I knew everything about the luxury brands that stars all towed around

1:18.5

and display on their Instagrams, but I got a lesson today in the Goyard brand.

1:25.7

Now back to the newly released evidence. Federal prosecutors showed a stunning

1:30.9

set of photos in court. Photos that gave the jurors and now the public, you and me, a look

1:37.2

inside Sean Diddy Combs' $61.5 million mansion in Los Angeles. And what they saw, I mean, how do I describe this?

1:48.7

Crazy, but also kind of unsettling. Not just drugs and guns, but a veritable Costco stash of

1:55.7

more than a thousand bottles of baby oil and lube. Weirdly stacked beautifully, like neatly lined up in boxes all the way

2:05.1

to the ceiling, packed tightly into his bedside table, lined up perfectly on glass shelves,

2:12.4

and some of it even kept in what prosecutors described as a fency box. I'm going to get
