Shocking photos show Sean ‘Diddy' Combs' NYC hotel room stocked with baby oil, pink ketamine and $9K in cash on day of arrest
Sean 'Diddy' Combs had bottles of baby oil, pink ketamine and $9,000 in cash when he was arrested in a New York City hotel in September 2024. According to photos taken at the Park Hyatt Hotel by Homeland Security Agent Yasin Binda, authorities found big and mini sized bottles of Johnson & Johnson baby oil, bottles of Astroglide lubricant, a black fanny pack with thousands of dollars in cash and two clear plastic Ziploc bags with a pink powdery material inside in the 'Act Bad' rapper's room. One of the baggies tested positive for ketamine while the other contained MDMA and ketamine. Authorities also recovered a prescription bottle of clonazepam that was made out to Frank Black — an alias that he used, according to Combs' ex Casanda 'Cassie' Ventura's testimony. Another prescription bottle that was photographed in Combs' hotel room had the name of the recipient scratched off. Homeland Security also took photos of the hotel room lamp, which Binda told jurors last week that a 'lighting device' was used to create 'mood lighting' in the living room. Combs, 55, was arrested on Sept. 16, 2024, after he was indicted by a grand jury. The dad of seven was then hit with three charges: racketeering conspiracy; sex trafficking by force, fraud or coercion; and transportation to engage in prostitution. Combs has pleaded not guilty and denied all culpability. The 'I'll Be Missing You' emcee's sex trafficking trial kicked off earlier this month with several people testifying about his sex- and drug-filled 'Freak-Off' parties and the physical abuse his ex Ventura, 38, endured. The 'Me & U' singer, who dated Combs on and off from 2008 to 2018, testified last week that one 'Freak-Off' lasted as long as four days and that she would suffer painful UTIs and sores in her mouth due to the back-to-back sex sessions. Ventura's former BFF Kerry Morgan and singer Dawn Richard testified Monday that they witnessed Combs physically attack the model on several occasions.

Watch the full, unedited video of Sean ‘Diddy' Combs violently abusing Cassie Ventura in hotel
The full, unedited hotel surveillance video of Sean 'Diddy' Combs abusing his then-girlfriend, Casandra 'Cassie' Ventura, in 2016 has been released. One of the previously unseen clips was recorded on a camera placed in the corner of a hallway in the now-closed InterContinental Hotel in Century City, Calif. In the 15-minute video above, Ventura, who was barefoot and dressed in a dark-colored, oversized hoodie and leggings, is seen carrying a large bag as she walked down the hallway and turned left into another area of the hotel that was out of view. (That area, which was shown in another angle released last year, had two elevators.) Seconds later, the 'Act Bad' rapper, who wore nothing but a robe around his waist and colored socks, is shown running down the hallway and entering the same part of the hotel that the 'Me & U' singer turned into. Combs, now 55, then dragged Ventura, now 38, by her hoodie back around the corner, where they were both in view of the camera. The R&B star sat on the floor for a second as Combs began to walk back to his hotel room. As he got halfway down the hallway, Ventura stood up and returned to the elevators. The Revolt co-founder, who held the bag that Ventura initially had in her hands, then turned around and went back toward his girlfriend. They both were out of frame for a few seconds before Combs reemerged and exchanged words with Ventura before taking her things down the hallway back to his room. The dad of seven then came down the hallway and began talking to Ventura, who was out of the frame, and pointing his finger at her. Moments later, Ventura walked into the corner under the camera as security guard Israel Florez chatted with Combs. Florez followed the 'I'll Be Missing You' emcee halfway down the hallway to the hotel room before Combs stopped and began talking to him. Once Combs continued walking down to his room, Florez motioned for Ventura to come over, presumably to come get her things out of the room. A few moments later, Ventura reemerged, holding two bags in her hands, and went to the elevators. Florez then exited Combs' room and headed for the elevators. Combs later walked down the hallway to check out the part of the hotel with the elevators before he returned to his room. The video concluded with two housekeepers chatting in the hallway. The unedited surveillance footage was shown in court Tuesday as Ventura took the stand to testify in her ex's sex-trafficking trial. During her testimony, the model claimed Combs, whom she dated on and off for 10 years, had forced a male escort to urinate in her mouth, made her call him an incestuous name and hosted his longest sex- and drug-filled 'Freak-Off' party for four days. Florez testified Monday that Combs had offered him a stack of money to keep quiet about the hotel assault on Ventura. Photos that the LAPD officer took of the damage done in the hotel were also shown to the jury. In November 2023, Ventura, filed a bombshell lawsuit against the 'Last Night' rapper accusing him of rape and repeated physical abuse. They settled the next day. In May 2024, CNN published a shorter version of the hotel surveillance footage of Combs attacking Ventura. Combs is currently on trial facing charges of racketeering conspiracy; sex trafficking by force, fraud or coercion; and transportation to engage in prostitution. He has pleaded not guilty.

Pregnant Cassie Ventura divulges shocking details of ex Sean ‘Diddy' Combs' ‘Freak-Off' that lasted 4 days: ‘Became a job'
Casandra 'Cassie' Ventura divulged shocking new details about ex Sean 'Diddy' Combs' 'Freak-Offs' during her testimony. On Tuesday, the 'Me & U' singer — who is expecting her third child with husband Alex Fine — took the stand to testify during the 'Act Bad' rapper's sex trafficking trial about the wild sex- and drug-filled parties he hosted. 'The 'Freak-Offs' became a job,' Ventura, 38, told the jury inside the Manhattan federal court. 'There was no time to do anything else but do them, then try to recover.' When Assistant United States Attorney Emily Johnson asked Ventura how much time a 'Freak-Off' would take, she replied that it would take 'significant periods of time.' 'The longest was four days,' she claimed. Elsewhere in her testimony, the 'Long Way 2 Go' songstress recalled the horrific details of the alleged abuse she experienced at the hands of her ex, whom she dated on and off for 10 years. 'He would bash me on my head, knock me over, drag me, kick me, stomp me on the head if i was down,' she testified from the witness stand Tuesday. Ventura claimed the dad of seven would fight with her over little disagreements and would tell her to 'fix [her] face or watch [her] mouth' before he allegedly began 'hitting' her in the face. 'I also felt at certain times when I knew it wasn't even about me … make the wrong face and the next thing I knew I was getting hit in the face,' she further testified. The model alleged Combs, who is 17 years older than her, introduced her to 'Freak-Offs' when she was around 22 and would 'direct' her and her sexual partner on what to do. 'I was in love and I just wanted to make him happy,' she told jurors. In November 2023, Ventura filed a lawsuit against the disgraced hip-hop mogul, accusing him of rape and repeated physical abuse throughout their relationship. Combs, 55, initially denied the allegations. However, he and the 'Official Girl' singer settled for an undisclosed amount within 24 hours. In May 2024, hotel surveillance footage of the REVOLT co-founder attacking Ventura after she tried to escape into an elevator was released to the public by CNN. A LAPD officer who was at the scene of the 2016 hotel beating testified Monday that Combs offered him a stack of money to keep quiet about the assault on Ventura. Combs is currently on trial facing charges of racketeering conspiracy; sex trafficking by force, fraud or coercion; and transportation to engage in prostitution. He pleaded not guilty. The 'Last Night' rapper is also facing a plethora of lawsuits from both men and women who have accused him of a range of sexual misconduct. He has denied all allegations.
