Diddy Photos: Drugs, Baby Oil And Guns From Mansion Raids
Prosecutors representing the government in Sean 'Diddy' Combs' sex trafficking and racketeering trial showed the jury photos to corroborate its case against the music mogul—including pictures of drugs, baby oil and guns found during the raids of Combs' homes, as well as photos of injuries his ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura documented.
Prosecutors showed the jury photos taken during the raid of Combs' Miami home, which took place in March 2024 as his legal problems came to a head.
Department of Homeland Security agent Gerard Gannon testified this week about the Miami raid, telling jurors some of the drugs depicted in the photographs tested positive for cocaine, ketamine, MDMA, Xanax and hallucinogenic mushrooms.
Gannon testified the agents found dozens of bottles of baby oils and lubricant, condoms, lingerie and sex toys, as well as parts to AR-15 style rifles.
Prosecutors also showed the jury photos of injuries Ventura testified Combs had given to her, including visible bruises on her back and legs and gashes on her face.
Some of the pictures of Ventura depict her using sunglasses to cover up a black eye she said Combs gave her during an altercation at a Los Angeles hotel in 2016, an incident captured on surveillance footage which was published by CNN last year, after which Ventura said she had to attend a premiere for a movie she starred in.

Ventura, considered the prosecution's key witness, testified for much of the trial's first week. She described various instances of physical abuse she says Combs subjected her to, and she testified Combs coerced her to perform in 'freak off' sex parties, which she described as drug-fueled sexual interactions with male escorts that could last for days, which she said left her in pain and feeling 'disgusting.' Ventura also testified Combs raped her in 2018. Danity Kane singer Dawn Richard and Ventura's ex-best friend, Kerry Morgan, both testified, stating they witnessed Combs physically abuse Ventura. Ventura's mother, Regina Ventura, testified Tuesday, telling the court she took some of the photos depicting Ventura's in jury. She also testified her daughter told her Combs had threatened to release sexually explicit videos of her and that he wanted Ventura to wire him $20,000 because he was angry her daughter had briefly dated rapper Kid Cudi during a break in their relationship. Other witnesses that have taken the stand include a male escort hired for a 'freak off' and a security guard who responded to Combs' attack on Ventura in a Los Angeles hotel in 2016. Kid Cudi is scheduled to testify Thursday, likely to face questions about prosecutors' allegations Combs and his associates blew up his car in a jealous rage after he learned Ventura was dating the rapper.
Combs faces five federal charges: two counts of sex trafficking, two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution and one count of racketeering conspiracy. Combs has pleaded not guilty to all charges, and he has denied all allegations made in the dozens of civil lawsuits filed against him, many of which allege sexual abuse.

Exclusive: Tommy Hilfiger Partners With New Cadillac Formula 1® Team
F1® The Movie star Damson Idris in the new Tommy Hilfiger APXGP Collection. Formula 1® racing is about to get even more popular, thanks to the upcoming F1® The Movie starring Brad Pitt and Damson Idris and the Cadillac Formula 1® team's debut in 2026. Only one fashion brand, Tommy Hilfiger, has starring roles in both. The clothing brand's sponsorship for the Apple Original Films' racing flick produced by Jerry Bruckheimer was announced in March. Now, PVH Corp.'s Tommy Hilfiger, the American preppy brand founded in 1985, is announcing its role as the official apparel partner for the new motorsports team. Founder and principal designer Tommy Hilfiger, whose formative years involved a former F1 racetrack, parlayed love for the fast-paced sport and fashion with several racing partnerships: Team Lotus in 1991, then Ferrari and Mercedes-AMG F1TM️, to brand collaborations with driver Sir Lewis Hamilton. The global fashion powerhouse will play a key apparel role in the first new team to join the pinnacle sport since 2016. The tie-up marks the new F1 race team's first official partner announcement. The products include an official team's kit—to dress drivers, pit crews, paddock staff, team car constructors, management—and sport-inspired fanwear collections. The drop is timed to the March 2026 Formula 1 season and available in Tommy Hilfiger stores globally and select partner distribution. Tommy Hilfiger logo placement will grace technical gear such as the driver's suit, helmet and race car for the new Cadillac Formula 1 team, which was created by TWG Motorsports and General Motors. The announcement comes as the brand launches its F1 The Movie APXGP Collection globally across its stores, with select wholesale partners, and before the film's late June release. The collection features the movie's star, Damson Idris, a Tommy Hilfiger brand ambassador, in the campaign. Former Tommy Hilfiger brand ambassador Lewis Hamilton at the Spring 2018 TommyNow "Drive" show in ... More Milan. According to Hilfiger, the 2019 Netflix docuseries Formula 1®: Drive to Survive and the new F1®: Academyabout female racing talent, opened the sport's popularity to new audiences. "Drive to Survive lifted it to a new level; the F1: Academy will take it to another, but F1 the Movie is like the stratosphere," Hilfiger continued, adding, "I don't think there is another sport as relevant." Alba Larsen of the new series F1 ACADEMY™ "These documentaries show behind the scenes, and that's inspired a lot of new fans, which is the sport's biggest asset," Lowdon concurred. Hilfiger's brand embodies the FAMES approach: fashion, art, music, entertainment, and sports to capture the cultural Zeitgeist. Formula 1 is currently at the apex. "It's more than a sport. It's a global force. Fashion and motorsports have been part of the culture and relate to luxury for years. It's an elite sport gaining many international fans," said Hilfiger. For Lea Rytz Goldman, Tommy Hilfiger Global Brand President, delivering these cultural moments is bolstered by tech. "Tools like AI are helping us better understand what consumers want and how they engage. As we deepen our involvement with Formula 1, we see powerful ways to use technology to bring fans even closer through immersive activations, storytelling, and digital experiences, making them part of the action on the track or online," she said. 'Tommy Hilfiger is driving some of the most exciting consumer engagement in its history, and we are making this strategic investment as Formula 1 expands its relevance in the US and globally. This partnership is the latest example of how we are building Tommy Hilfiger into one of the most desirable lifestyle brands in the world as part of the PVH+ Plan—our long-term, brand-building growth strategy,' added Stefan Larsson, CEO, PVH Corp. Mr. Tommy Hilfiger Tommy sees it organically like the 1970s musical heroes that inspired his design ambitions. "The drivers are like rock stars. They're cool young athletic people living a great lifestyle." Tommy Hilfiger and Cadillac have global brand recognition. The latter is synonymous as the ultimate American luxury car with a motorsport background. "Cadillac has a proud and storied racing history as far back as 1950 when they began competing at Le Mans at World Championship Level," said Cadillac Formula 1 Team Principal Graeme Lowdon. The power of the names together is immense. "These two iconic American brands come together with a colorful history in visual culture. I love racing's iconic graphics. The uniforms are very cool with patches, logos, and team names. It's rich in design territory. We had insight into the Cadillac team's design direction; it will look incredible across the collections," noted Hilfiger. Cadillac Formula 1® Team Principal Graeme Lowdon The car brand is equally enamored. "Tommy has known Formula 1 for a long time. It's the pinnacle of motorsport, like Cadillac is for luxury automobiles. Cadillac's brand values are bold, sophisticated, and optimistic. That was a natural fit with the Tommy Hilfiger brand. Combining this offers an ambitious, confident outlook. The chemistry, vision, and passion felt right from the start. Racing is about passion and desire to win," Lowdon said. Both brands embody Americana with the cars soon to boast 'Made in the USA' in an Indianapolis manufacturing headquarters. "I didn't see that coming in the earlier years. Formula 1 was automobiles and cars coming from Europe. Building out fanwear with our iconic prep with Cadillac's bold racing and motorsport motifs is an exciting playground to push the boundaries," Hilfiger added of the partnership that was nearly two years in the making. Fashion's connection with racing was apparent in the Spring of 2018. Lewis Hamilton became Tommy Hilfiger Men's global brand ambassador and created five Tommy X Lewis collections during their six-year partnership. It coincided with the TommyNow "Drive" show during Milan Fashion Week that involved a race car on a runway. The Tommy x Gigi collection and sporty racing motifs also ran the track. Three of Hamilton's joint-record seven World Drivers Championships occurred during the six-year period. George Russell, another Mercedes team racer to join the Tommy Hilfiger universe, also regularly sported the clothes for appearances on and off the track. "Lewis expressing himself through fashion helped shift the spotlight beyond the track as he became a style icon," Hilfiger said. The collaboration happened before fashion existed in motorsport, and Hamilton's gusto for dressing up inspired other drivers to up the style ante, typically choosing Tommy Hilfiger. Hamilton winning those years is not lost on Lowdon. "There is an advantage to feeling good, whether wearing Tommy or driving a Cadillac. Formula 1 is a big team sport. We want mechanics, engineers, designers, and everyone working at the top of their game, feeling good and focused. The association with Tommy Hilfiger gives them a lot of confidence. People underestimate in sports, what you wear and how you feel are enormously linked to performance." Lowdown added.

Inspiration comes from the uniforms' authenticity to the extended team in the pits and factories. "Technology plays a huge part in all of it because the creation of cars and engines uses advanced technology. Putting technology into our fashion clothing is important. Using technical fabrics that add breathability, waterproofing, or a type of stretch or reflective can feel like the racing uniforms," Hilfiger noted. "Formula 1 is the Haute Couture of motor racing because cars are handmade. I love the creativity that sets Formula 1 apart. We see that same creative flare and passion for design and ideas with Tommy's talented team as ours. We can do many exciting things in this partnership," Lowdon added. "We're setting a new standard for how fashion and F1 can evolve into a new chapter, and we are incredibly proud leading it. It will be an epic milestone for American motorsport," Hilfiger stressed. Rytz Goldman concurs. "It's not just about race day—it's about tapping into the energy of the sport to create cultural moments extending beyond the track like our APXGP Collection, which fuels the connection between style, motorsport, and cinematic storytelling. These and other collaborations will continue to open opportunities to connect with and excite new communities and lead in the cultural conversation," she added. To wit, Tommy Hilfiger is also in partnership with F1 ACADEMY™, the series designed to help develop young female drivers and sponsors Spanish talent Nerea Martí. Archive images from the Tommy Hilfiger Team Lotus collaboration. Musicians were Hilfiger's early design beacons, and so were car races. "I was at a race where the John Player Special team won. Afterward, we talked a couple of the drivers and pit crew into giving us gear. That inspired shirts with embroideries, patches, and all sorts of detail in early collections taken from those authentic black shirts with gold lettering. They were the only team to do black, which was cool," reminisced Hilfiger, recalling his high school proclivities of working on his car at his gas station job and taking it out for a spin on the Watkins Glen track. Both gentlemen are pumped for the respective task ahead, especially one that involves the super stringent world of Formula 1. "It's relentless, but the challenge is part of the appeal. We're building a team for Cadillac's first entry everyone can be proud of. While drivers are the heroes, it involves 1000 people. We want the fans to join us," Lowdon noted. "Above all, I'm proud to be a part of an American team," said Hilfiger, adding, "As a fashion brand, we like to think into the future. What could be disruptive but inclusive and on brand? So, we're always looking at everything through the lens of pop culture that can extend into different categories. There are no limits, and F1 is at the heart of that mix; we've always been ahead of the curve!

Suge Knight Addresses Diddy's Sex Trafficking Trial: 'Tell The Real Truth, And Bring Everybody Accountable'
Source: Kevork Djansezian / Getty As we enter the fourth week of Diddy's sex trafficking and racketeering case, many of Diddy's former acquaintances have been put on the stand, and now one of his biggest enemies is speaking out. Suge Knight spoke to ABC News, and despite the two being on opposite sides and catalysts behind the decades-old East Coast-West Coast beef, he's not putting all the blame on Diddy for his sexual behaviors, claiming others were involved but falling short of naming anyone. 'If you're going to make Puffy answer, make everyone answer,' Knight began. 'Change the theme of the culture of the problems in Hip-Hop. I think it'd be a great thing to let Puffy tell his truth. Tell the real truth, and bring everybody accountable.' Knight adds that Diddy's freak offs may have become public knowledge in 2023 due to Cassie's lawsuit, but they had been happening long before and were an open secret in the Hip-Hop world. 'Everybody knew that,' Knight said. 'Puffy didn't just pop in the industry and say, 'hey, I want to have sex with everybody.' I mean, we don't have enough time to name all the names.' Suge Knight speaks out about Sean 'Diddy' Combs sex trafficking case. — ABC News (@ABC) June 2, 2025 Knight, who's currently serving a 28-year sentence for a fatal hit and run in 2015, has been mentioned 50 times in Diddy's trial. Most recently, he was a topic of discussion when Diddy's former assistant Capricorn Clark took the stand. She revealed that once Diddy found out that she used to work for Knight, her new boss told her he'd kill her if anything sketchy happened. Diddy's lawyer Marc Agnifilo pressed Clark on why she'd continue to work for someone who was allegedly so dangerous, but Knight points out that it's because of how much power Diddy had. Knight said he felt bad for Clark and applauded her for her ambition and desire to succeed in the entertainment industry. 'A lot of people might say, well, Capricorn could have did anything else she wanted to do. She did try,' Knight said. 'If you go get a job at Universal and Puffy makes a phone call, you're not getting that job. If you go get a job at a counter agency or in the movie business and Puff make that call, your career is over.' Even with their long-standing beef, Knight doesn't think prosecutors should take 'Puffy and lock him up and throw away the key,' because he thinks he can 'do so much good right now.' Knight advises that he take the stand to tell the truth and take a plea deal, which he already turned down ahead of the trial. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Akademiks TV (@djakademikstv) Knight also turned heads recently during another phone interview with Piers Morgan, where he claimed Diddy and Ray J were romantically involved. 'Ray J and Puffy was definitely lovers,' Knight claimed. 'Puffy allegedly gave him $10 million dollars to put out an album about the two brothers loving each other.'
