A New York court has heard that Sean 'Diddy' Combs called himself 'the devil' and 'could kill' one of his ex-girlfriends.
Jurors in the Manhattan trial were also told the singer dangled a woman over a balcony potentially threatening her life.
Combs is on trial in New York on federal charges that include sex trafficking and racketeering. Combs has denied all the charges.
On Wednesday, US time, Bryana 'Bana' Bongolan took the stand. She is a friend of Combs' one time girlfriend Cassie Ventura.

She spoke of one incident in 2016 when she alleged Combs dangled her over a balcony at Ms Ventura's Los Angeles apartment in a tall residential building.
'I was pulled over a 17th story balcony,' she told the court.

She said Combs banged on the door of the apartment where both she and Ms Ventura were asleep. Ms Bongolan asked Combs to leave, she said, and then she proceeded to the balcony and lit a cannabis joint.
'He basically came up from behind me, lifted me up and hung me off the rail,' she claimed.
She said Combs held her by the armpits with her feet dangling above the rail.
Ms Bongolan said the ordeal last around 15 seconds during which Combs screamed: screamed 'You know what the f*** you did'.
It was claimed she was then thrown into some garden furniture and suffered bruising, leg and neck pain.
She said she had no idea then and no idea now what she was supposed to have done to have warranted being dangled over a balcony 17 stories up.
Ms Ventura then allegedly came out of her room and said: 'Did you just hang her off the balcony?'
Ms Bongolan said she didn't go the police because he was fearful of Combs.
She added she till had nightmares after the balcony incident and sometimes used to 'scream a lot in my sleep'.

'I'm the devil'
On another occasion, Ms Bongolan said Combs threatened he could kill her.
Again, she was with Ms Ventura when the alleged incident occurred. This time it was in Malibu, near Los Angeles, when a photo shoot was taking place.
'He came up really close to my face and said something along the lines of 'I'm the devil and I could kill you,' she claimed.
'I was terrified,' she added.
Ms Bongolan told the court she was on cocaine at the time. Indeed, she told the court, much of her time with Ms Ventura involved being high.
'Yeah, we had a problem,' Ms Bongolan said of her and Ms Ventura's drug use.
She also told the court she had a lawsuit out against Combs and she was seeking $US10 million from him. Combs' defence team has tried to suggest that many of the witness testifying against Combs have done so in order to get damages from the star.

How the man leading Fight MND's Big Freeze met Neale Daniher
Don't miss out on the headlines from Victoria. Followed categories will be added to My News. FightMND chief executive Matt Tilley describes his first meeting with Australian of the Year Neale Daniher as 'intimidating', but the former radio star and comedian handled it in trademark style. 'I told him he was my third favourite Daniher brother growing up, thinking that might break the ice,' he says with a chuckle. 'I said, 'Terry was my fave, then I had Chris on my back because number 7 was easy for mum to sew on there, and then there was Neale'. 'He's got a very cheeky sense of humour and I think everyone can see that, but it was intimidating for me because I felt a great weight of responsibility to be taking on a role that was created by him – and he has since gone on to be Australian of the Year.' Monday's Big Freeze at the MCG, when celebrities plunge into an ice bath to raise money for motor neurone disease research and support for Australians living with the disease, is Tilley's first time at the helm of the event. He expects the MCG to be filled with blue beanies sold as part of the mega fundraiser, ahead of a traditional Collingwood and Melbourne King's Birthday blockbuster, but has also introduced a 'digital beanie' this year that can be shared via social media. He expects the MCG to be filled with blue beanies sold as part of the mega fundraiser, ahead of a traditional Collingwood and Melbourne King's Birthday blockbuster. Picture: Wayne Taylor 'You can personalise it, put your nickname on it, if you don't want to have hat hair here's a great way of leaning in and supporting the cause,' Tilley says. 'The idea is to fill a virtual 'G – getting to 100,000 digital beanies, which is one for every seat.' Tilley found time to chat to Matt Johnston for the Herald Sun's Big V Interview to explain how he went from a comedy writer with a back-up law degree to being a champion of charities. NATURAL STORY TELLER Although Tilley forged a long career as a commercial radio star, when he was first encouraged to go on air he barely knew what FM was. 'I grew up in a house where my dad just had classical music playing all the time, or jazz,' he says. The house was in Mt Eliza, where kangaroos hopped through the bush at the end of the street and Tilley and his three younger siblings roamed with bare feet. He was 'mad for footy and cricket' but tried everything at The Peninsula School and achieved more success in drama despite not being an 'artsy type'. He concedes he 'was a bit of a smart arse at school', but worked hard. 'I was senior prefect, but the first senior prefect who had been suspended. So a bit of a mix,' he says. He later embarked on an arts/law degree and took part in comedy sketches for the Melbourne University Law Revue, where the Working Dog production team had cut its teeth. Another student at the time was Cate Blanchett, who Tilley says was 'very funny'. 'I think we all thought back then, 'oh wow she's way too talented to be hanging out with us',' he says. Behind the scenes of Melbourne's number 1 rating breakfast show, the Matt and Jo show on Fox FM. Matt Tilley and Jo Stanley. Early attempts to coax him into radio were rebuffed, but when he was offered $100 a day – an 'enormous amount of money to a uni student living in a sharehouse with four blokes' – to write sketches, he caved. 'Radio evolved from … I was more of a natural story teller than I was a great comic actor because I never knew where to put my hands,' he says. 'I was lucky enough to be in and around shows like Fast Forward. Writing and a bit of extra parts, around some pretty elite talent.' His big break came on Fox FM when he partnered with Tracy Bartram, at a time when male and female presenters were paired to bounce off one another. 'Radio was about being relatable and telling a story, it wasn't so much about boom boom punchlines or acerbic comments on the news,' he says. 'I've got great memories of that time, and working with people who had the same sense of drive, camaraderie. You rely on everyone to do well.' He was later joined by Jo Stanley, and the Matt and Jo Show was the number one FM breakfast team for eight years. Despite the success and the 3:30am starts, Tilley plugged away at his arts/law degree and graduated after 11 years. 'I think it's close to the record,' he laughs. 'I recently found out I was at law school with Josh Frydenberg but I didn't see him, he was probably in and out a bit quicker than me and I didn't go to a lot of lectures. 'I finished (the degree) because I thought radio was a fool's paradise and it would never last – eventually they'd work out I was a fraud.' Matt Tilley CD Gotach Calls. Cover. In the late 1990s he married Susie and they had three children – Grace, Jack and Oscar. Stories about the challenges and joys of parenthood were often shared on air, which helped Tilley connect to listeners. 'For our audience, young families and stuff, I was going through what they were.' PRANKING HIS WAY TO THE TOP As a teenager, Tilley would entertain friends with prank calls. 'I used to get a mate's dad every second week. He was a baker and always a bit tired and vulnerable,' he says. 'I used to ring up and say I found half a mouse in a hot cross bun and stuff like that, or try and buy the bakery off him, ridiculous things like that.' In the mid-2000s his radio team suggested trying it out on air, and so he called a butcher, feigning to be an elderly man. The butcher kept hanging up and Tilley thought the prank was a fizzer, but a producer cut up the huffing and puffing of the man as he kept hanging up, and it worked. That moment spawned the popular segment, Matt Tilley's Gotcha Calls. 'It was a different time, you could do funny accents and different nationalities and it wasn't necessarily from a mean-spirited place, it was more about duping people into thinking it was someone that wasn't me,' he says. Tilley says that he has no problem with sensibilities changing over time but has empathy for people in comedy today. When Tilley hung up the radio mic he took a break, during which he considered establishing a charity fundraiser. 'Not because the times are woke and that's awful, more because the areas you can play in are more clearly defined and that just makes it harder, it's not as broad a canvas. 'You can be really quickly held to account on social media; quite possibly you offended just as many people back in the day but they couldn't be bothered writing a letter. 'Comedians will always exist at the edge of what people are happy to put up with.' The Gotcha Calls segment became four Gold-selling CDs sold on the late Michael Gudinski's record label, raising almost $1m for charity. 'It exposed me to a different world and a lot of amazing people and I connected with some of those people,' he says. 'I started to move in that direction, not through any noble sense of needing to do right, but I thought 'I kind of like this'. 'And I thought I could use whatever skills I might have to appeal to large audiences, to raise money for important things, and be sufficiently different that I can still have fun and shake things up a bit.' FROM MIC DROP TO DOLLAR DROP When Tilley hung up the radio mic he took a break, during which he considered establishing a charity fundraiser. Eventually he was convinced to have a crack, and created the Aussie Dollar Drop in 2018. 'I had this idea that if everyone dropped $1 on one day, there would be $25m,' he says. The fundraiser took flight in Victoria at the 2018 election, and raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for homeless services. TV and radio presenter Tracy Bartram with Matt Tilley, Greg Fleet, Amanda Keller and Peter Berner from TV show "The Chat Room" Mar 2003. panel panellists 'It didn't make the $25m, because everybody votes before the election and no one carries cash,' he says. 'But I kind of went, 'oh, if you have an idea that people think is pretty good and it's achieving a pretty good end, they'll get behind you.' Soon after, he took on a new role at Foodbank Victoria, after CEO David McNamara recognised the impact Covid-19 would have on its services. Tilley jokes that Foodbank's success as the largest hunger relief charity in the country is from being 'beneficiaries of fusspots and morons' who reject fruit and vegetables based on shape or colour. As a 'mad veggie grower', Tilley has an affinity with agricultural producers and the challenges they face. 'My dirty secret is I'm a competitive veggie grower,' he says. 'I want to win as many ribbons as I can; I go to the Red Hill show, I'm three times aggregate champion, undefeated.' His secret to success is simple. 'Chicken shit, I go through tonnes of it,' he says. 'There's this chicken farmer down the road from where my veggie patch is and he puts rice husk on the floor for his chickens, scrapes it up with all the crap on the floor and it's magic.' FIGHTING MND During his time at Foodbank, Tilley instigated a 'food fight' initiative at schools. Using fake fruits and recycled material, the fundraiser is effectively a chance for students to raise money for a worthy cause so they could 'piff stuff at teachers'. 'I wanted to build something that a lot of people want to do, that's fun,' he says. 'The epitome of that is the Big Freeze.' When Tilley was sounded out to take the FightMND reins from outgoing CEO, Dr Fiona McIntosh, he seized the opportunity. Picture: Wayne Taylor When Tilley was sounded out to take the FightMND reins from outgoing CEO, Dr Fiona McIntosh, he seized the opportunity, having admired the organisation's community connection from afar. Neale Daniher, who set up the charity with Pat Cunningham and the late Dr Ian Davis in 2014, is still 'incredibly engaged' in operations, despite MND's crippling effects. 'It's very difficult for him to communicate personally, but there wouldn't be many days I don't get an email or a question from him, he's still incredibly engaged and sharp of mind,' Tilley says. The FightMND Army has invested more than $115 million in research and support services since 2014 and Daniher's advocacy saw him named the 2025 Australian of the Year. Tilley says Monday's Big Freeze event 'is a special one' for that reason, and that FightMND is upfront about Daniher's illness, which weakens nerve cells and eventually leads to muscle paralysis. 'We are very honest about it – it's getting harder and harder for him,' Tilley says. 'The slide is so special for him, we really want to make sure each year it is something amazing.'

Iconic singer Billy Joel recalls the harrowing moment he tried to take his own life
Don't miss out on the headlines from Music. Followed categories will be added to My News. Billy Joel has spoken about past struggles with his mental health, revealing he attempted suicide twice in his early twenties. The legendary music star revealed in the new documentary Billy Joel: And So It Goes that he ended up in a coma after he tried to take his own life following an affair with a friend's wife. The affair began while Joel was living with his then bandmate Jon Small, Jon's wife Elizabeth Weber, and their child. Joel revealed that he eventually realised that he was in love with Weber, despite her being married to his bandmate. 'I was in love,' he said. The fallout was immediate and painful. 'I felt very, very guilty about it. They had a child. I felt like a homewrecker. I was just in love with a woman and I got punched in the nose which I deserved. Jon was very upset. I was very upset.' Singer Billy Joel has spoken about his past mental health struggles in a new documentary. Picture: AFP. The confrontation ended their band, Attila, and destroyed the men's friendship. Weber left, and Joel's mental health deteriorated rapidly. 'I had no place to live. I was sleeping in laundromats and I was depressed I think to the point of almost being psychotic,' he said. 'So I figured, 'That's it. I don't want to live anymore.'' Joel attempted suicide twice and his sister, Judy Molinari, tearfully recalled seeing him in hospital. 'He was in a coma for days and days and days,' she said, 'I went to go see him in the hospital, and he was laying there white as a sheet.' Joel was in his early 20s and later checked himself into a psychiatric observation ward. Picture: Getty. Joel later checked himself into a psychiatric observation ward. The experience, he said, reshaped his life. 'I got out … and I thought to myself, you can utilise all those emotions to channel that stuff into music.' It comes after Joel announced that he has been diagnosed with a condition called Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus. The disorder happens when cerebrospinal fluid builds up inside a person's skull and presses on the brain, disrupting their cognitive functions. The symptoms tend to be similar to those suffered by dementia patients and include difficulty walking, cognitive issues like memory difficulties or emotional changes, and urinary issues. Joel announced the news on social media last month, cancelling all his upcoming tour dates as a result.

Dakota Johnson's hilarious solution to near wardrobe malfunction
Don't miss out on the headlines from Movies. Followed categories will be added to My News. Dakota Johnson nearly had a wardrobe malfunction during a late-night TV appearance. On Monday's episode of The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Johnson — who was wearing a black mini-dress with a plunging neckline — instantly regretted her decision. 'Oh God,' said Johnson, who was promoting her new film The Materialists. 'This is the wrong outfit.' 'No, no. I think it's perfect, you look great,' Fallon said. 'Just don't move.' 'My eyes are up here,' she joked. A dazed and confused Fallon playfully looked up to the ceiling and said, 'I don't know what to do. I'm confused.' After the TV host redirected the conversation, Johnson was still concerned about the possible malfunction. 'Tell me if there's a problem,' she said. 'Right now, there's not a problem,' Fallon quipped. 'There's almost a problem, but not quite — it's just … everything is going according to plan.' 'Does anyone have like, a blanket I could wear?' Johnson asked. Johnson was worried about falling out of her dress. Photo: YouTube That'll do it! Photo: YouTube Jimmy Fallon is nothing if not a problem solver.

'Dakota, your dress just came unhooked,' Kimmel said to Johnson, who tried to maintain her poise as she clutched the detached metal strap of her black dress. 'Should I get some scotch tape?' Kimmel inquired. 'My dress just – it just fell off,' Johnson said, astounded, but with a smile on her face. 'It seems to be hanging in all right?' Kimmel countered. 'Well, I'll just hold it,' Johnson said, continuing the conversation in stride. 'Just hold the important part,' Kimmel joked. Johnson cheekily placed her hands on her chest, much to the amusement of the audience. 'The movie is really good,' she noted.
