Diddy's Ex-Assistant To Testify Against "Devil", Detail On Kid Cudi's Claims
Sean 'Diddy' Combs' former assistant is expected to testify on Tuesday when the hip-hop mogul's high-profile sex-trafficking trial resumes in Manhattan federal court.
Capricorn Clark, who once allegedly called Combs "the devil," is expected to reveal details about a 2011 incident involving the rapper's alleged break-in at rapper Kid Cudi's Hollywood Hills home.
Kid Cudi testified last week that Capricorn Clark phoned him in December 2011 to warn him that Combs had forcibly entered his home after discovering Cudi was romantically involved with singer Cassie Ventura, Combs' on-and-off girlfriend.
He told jurors he was with Ventura at the Sunset Marquis hotel when Clark called, sounding "very scared" and "on the verge of tears." He recalled Clark saying she had been "forced" by Combs and his security team to accompany them during the break-in.
Capricorn Clark may also testify about an email Cassie Ventura sent her on December 23, 2011, where she claimed a jealous Combs was threatening to leak sex tapes and plotting to have "someone hurt me and Scott Mescudi (Kid Cudi) physically." The email, which was shown in court, was also sent to Ventura's mother, Regina Ventura, who told the jury she became "physically sick" after reading it.
In a 2023 post on her private X account, Clark had written, "Last 11 years of my life, I have had to deal with EVERYONE'S nonsensical allegiance to the devil," a comment seemingly directed at Combs, according to HotNewHipHop.
Clark's testimony follows that of other former assistants, including David James, who recounted that Combs once forced Clark to undergo a lie detector test after a robbery, to prove her innocence.
In a separate testimony, Kid Cudi alleged that his Porsche was destroyed by a Molotov cocktail in 2012, suggesting Combs' involvement. Cudi said that Combs denied knowledge of the incident but later apologised.
The trial, overseen by Judge Arun Subramanian, is expected to continue for several more weeks. Sean Combs, 55, has pleaded not guilty to charges including racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking by force or coercion, and transportation to engage in prostitution. If convicted, he faces a potential life sentence.

Farah Khan's cook Dilip says ‘Vijay Mallya toh chor hai' as he flirts with Payal Gaming in latest vlog, asks her how much she earns
Farah Khan and her cook, Dilip, paid a visit to the S8UL Gamers' collective in Navi Mumbai, and shot a new vlog at their facility. Immediately upon arriving, they were greeted by a garage full of fancy cars and bikes. Dilip hopped onto a Kawasaki, and admired a yellow Porsche. Before entering the house, Farah remarked, 'These gamers are making more money than us.' The S8UL Gamers collective comprises of several professional streamers, who operate from under one roof. The co-founder of the collective, Goldy, was also a part of the vlog. But the attention went to Payal Gaming, who runs India's biggest gaming channel with 4.3 million subscribers. Dilip kept flirting with her in an extended scripted gag, and insisted that he wants to become a gamer as well. 'How much money do you make?' he asked her. 'Do you want to be a gamer?' she replied, offering to teach him. Dilip asked several of her colleagues about their earnings as well, while Farah was shocked to see an entire walk-in closet filled with sneakers. 'I'm earning brownie points from my son by doing this. How much money are you people making…' she said, as she held her head in her hands. 'Bhai hum kya hi kama rahe hain, yeh bachche dekho kitna kama ke daal rahe hain sab,' she told Dilip.

During the task, Dilip was given a challenge. He was told that if he fails the challenge, he'd have to add extra chili in his noodles. 'What is the full form of BGMI?' one of the gamers asked Dilip, who misheard and replied, 'Vijay Mallya toh chor hai.' The answer seemed unscripted, because everyone was shocked. Farah walked out of the kitchen, once again with her head in her hands, and laughed by herself in living room. 'What did you think I said?' the gamer asked Dilip. The gamers' fans flooded the comments section, and remarked at the unlikely collaboration. 'Loved the crossover. Never imagined someone from Bollywood will recognize gaming and will reach our own s8ul house. The more you dig the more will love it, hope you will gain more interest in gaming,' one of the gamers wrote. Farah's YouTube channel has taken off, and currently has over 1.6 million subscribers. Meanwhile, Vijay Mallya recently gave an interview for the first time in nearly a decade, as he appeared on Raj Shamani's podcast to clear his name. He has been accused of financial fraud, and is currently a fugitive in the UK.

Dhanush's short hair and moustache look from Tere Ishk Mein set has fans going: ‘Is that you Hardik Pandya?'
Actor Dhanush and Aanand L Rai have reunited for another romantic drama, Tere Ishk Mein. The actor's first look from the film showed him with a heavy beard and long hair. However, a new look from the set has now surfaced online, hinting that he may be playing an IAF officer, and fans can't keep calm. (Also Read: Tere Ishk Mein first look: Aanand L Rai announces new film with Dhanush, reveals title on Raanjhanaa's 10th anniversary) An X user shared Dhanush's photos from the Tere Ishk Mein set, which showed him with short hair and a moustache. He is seen wearing an Indian Air Force uniform with 'Shankar' on the name tag. Fans were quick to react to the pictures. While some thought he looked leaner and stronger, others were reminded of cricketer Hardik Pandya after seeing the look. One of the comments read, 'Looks like Hardik Pandya.' Another said, 'Bro, that's Hardik Pandya.' Another fan commented, 'He looks kinda buff — or is it because of the suit he's wearing? Nonetheless, looking great IMO.' Another wrote, 'He looks good.' The actor's look is completely different from what was shown during the film's announcement. The announcement video showed Dhanush sporting a grittier and more intense look, with shoulder-length hair and a heavy beard. The clip featured Dhanush running towards a wall with a Molotov cocktail in his hand while smoking. As he ran on a road at night, glass shattered around him. Towards the end of the clip, Dhanush was heard saying, 'Pichli baar toh Kundan tha, maan gaya. Par iss baar Shankar ko kaise rokoge?' (Last time it was Kundan, who accepted his fate. But how will you stop Shankar this time?) — referring to his character from Raanjhanaa. Helmed by Aanand L Rai, the film's story, dialogues, and screenplay have been penned by Himanshu Sharma and Neeraj Yadav. The film is produced by Himanshu. Aanand has roped in A.R. Rahman for music and Irshad Kamil for lyrics. Apart from Dhanush, the film also stars Kriti Sanon in the lead role and is scheduled for release in 2026.

Sean ‘Diddy' ignored pleas for escorts to use condoms, ex-girlfriend tells court in sex trafficking trial
Sean 'Diddy' Combs twice rebuffed a former girlfriend's requests that male entertainers wear condoms when having sex with her as Combs watched, the woman said on Friday during a testimony at the music mogul's sex trafficking trial. According to a Reuters report, the woman said that Combs would 'guilt trip' her when she asked that the entertainers wear condoms during their frequent and lengthy sexual encounters. The woman is testifying under the pseudonym Jane to protect her privacy, the report said. These sexual interactions resembled what another one of Comb's exes, Casandra Ventura, referred to as 'Freak Offs' during her testimony last month, it added. An audio clip heard by the jurors in the Manhatten federal court trial recorded Combs intervening after Jane asked a male entertainer named Don if he had a condom. As the recording was played, Combs rapidly tapped his fingers against his leg while seated at the defence table, the Reuters report said. "Why didn't you just insist that Don wear a condom?" prosecutor Maurene Comey asked. "Because I just didn't want to disappoint my lover," Jane responded, referring to Combs. Jane said she and Combs dated from 2021 through 2024. Combs, 55, has pleaded not guilty to five felony counts including racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking. Prosecutors say he coerced women over two decades to take part in elaborate, drug-fueled sexual performances during Freak Offs over two decades, the report said. The Bad Boy Records founder's defense lawyers have acknowledged that Combs was occasionally abusive in domestic relationships, but say the women who took part in 'Freak Offs' did so consensually. During the first day of her testimony on Thursday, Jane said she was 'head over heels' for Combs and wanted to have a one-on-one relationship with him, but that starting five months into their relationship most of their time together involved sexual interactions with male escorts in hotels. Jane said that when she told Combs she wanted those encounters to stop, he threatened to stop paying her rent. On Friday, Jane frequently sobbed and dabbed her eyes with a tissue as she told jurors how Combs would encourage her to keep going even after she grew tired during the encounters, which she said often lasted 24 hours or more, the Reuters report added. In one instance, which Jane recounted during the trial, she said she broke down crying after Combs said he had to leave following an encounter with an entertainer, despite having promised Jane a one-on-one date night and that the entertainer would be there for 'just a little bit'. "I hung onto those words, just a little bit," Jane said. "I was feeling terrible that he was going to leave me alone."
