Sean 'Diddy' Combs forced his then-girlfriend, singer Cassie, into sex marathons, her former stylist and close friend testified against the rapper on Wednesday. He also added that he physically assaulted her during their long-term relationship.
Stylist Deonte Nash said the incident happened on Cassie's 29th birthday in 2015. She had planned a fun night with drinks, drugs, and karaoke, but Combs wanted something else.
He insisted on taking her to a hotel for what he called a 'freak-off' — a sex marathon, AP reported quoting Nash.
Nash said he saw Combs yelling at Cassie as she begged to celebrate her birthday her way. Later, Cassie told Nash she didn't want to do the 'freak-off' but had no choice because Combs was forcing her.
Nash said this wasn't the first time Cassie told him she didn't want to take part in Combs' drug-filled hotel sex sessions. Earlier in the trial, Cassie said these encounters often included Combs watching, directing, and even filming her with a male sex worker. She said this happened hundreds of times during their 11-year relationship from 2007 to 2018.
Nash also said Combs often beat and threatened Cassie. He claimed Combs would say he'd ruin her music career and release private videos if she didn't do what he wanted.

Sharing one example of abuse, Nash said that once he was at Cassie's apartment helping her pack for a music festival when Combs stormed in, pulled her off the couch by her hair, and hit her.
Nash said he tried to stop him by jumping on his back, but Combs threw him off. Combs then followed Cassie into a bedroom and kept hitting her, slamming her head into a bed frame. She had a bloody cut above her eye.
'Look what y'all made me do,' Combs allegedly said.
Combs, 55, has pleaded not guilty that he led a racketeering conspiracy for 20 years that relied on fear and violence to get what he wanted. If convicted, he could face 15 years to life in prison.
On the same day, Combs' lawyers asked for a mistrial. They said prosecutors unfairly suggested that Combs interfered with a police probe into a 2012 firebombing of rapper Kid Cudi's Porsche 911. The judge, Arun Subramanian, denied the mistrial request but told jurors to ignore comments about destroyed fingerprint records.
A day earlier, Combs' former assistant said Combs wanted to kill Cudi after learning he was dating Cassie in 2011. Weeks later, Cudi's car was firebombed. A Molotov cocktail made from a malt liquor bottle and a fancy handkerchief was found inside the car, according to a fire department investigator.
The investigator, Lance Jimenez, told the court the fingerprints from the car were later destroyed by someone at the LAPD who was not part of the case, which he said was not normal.
Combs' lawyers accused prosecutors of misconduct, but the judge sided with the prosecution.
