We are in just the second week of the trial of music mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs. And in just a short period, witnesses have already given chilling testimony about Combs’ behavior throughout the years.

But just when you think that you have heard the worst of it, another detail surfaces. That is crazier than the last.
Diddy Took Pills Shaped Like President Obama’s Face
During witness testimony on May 20, Diddy’s former assistant, David James, testified about Combs’ alleged drug habits. During that testimony, he revealed that the music mogul would take ecstasy pills. That emulated the face of former United States President Barack Obama.
“There were various pills, but one was in the form of a former president’s face,” James said, referring to the 44th President.
Obama was never confirmed as an attendee to any of Diddy’s now infamous parties. But he and Combs do have a history. Specifically dating back to his 2004 campaign to become Illinois Senator.
Diddy interviewed the former President on MTV as part of his Vote or Die campaign. And during that interview, he had nothing but glowing things to say about Combs.
“ [You are a] motivating force for young people all across the country,” Obama said to Combs.
“Your music moves people. You’re a trendsetter. But part of what we’re trying to do is to make sure we’re setting a trend in terms of political participation.”
Combs has been known to have close relationships with both politicians and law enforcement. And many have speculated that it is one of the reasons why he was able to claim numerous abuse victims without a trace throughout the years.
Before CNN released the video of Diddy assaulting his former girlfriend and label artist, Cassie Ventura, New York City’s Mayor Eric Adams awarded Combs the key to the city. However, he revoked the honor after the video was released.
“I strongly condemn these actions and stand in solidarity with all survivors of domestic and gender-based violence,” Adams said in a letter last May. “After internal deliberations, the Key to the City of New York committee recommended nullifying and rescinding Mr. Combs’ key.”
