In a dramatic development during Sean "Diddy" Combs’ ongoing sex trafficking trial, his former personal assistant Brendan Paul took the witness stand on Friday and delivered explosive testimony. Paul stated that during his employment, which spanned from late 2022 to March 2024, he frequently purchased drugs for the music mogul and arranged accommodations for what were described as high-end sex parties, known internally as “wild king nights.”

According to prosecutors, Combs allegedly used his companies' resources to manipulate and pressure women into participating in drug-fueled sexual acts often with male sex workers—further supporting their racketeering conspiracy charges against him.

Paul recounted a text message dated February 14, 2024, in which Combs allegedly instructed him to "get me zans," an apparent request for the anti-anxiety drug Xanax. Although Paul testified that Combs obtained the pills elsewhere, he confirmed witnessing his boss using cocaine and ecstasy on multiple occasions.

Paul Details the Dark Side of Combs' Lifestyle

Under questioning from defense attorney Brian Steel, 

Paul admitted that acquiring drugs was only a small part of his job duties and emphasized that he believed the substances were intended solely for Combs’ personal use. “You were not some drug mule?” Steel asked. “Absolutely not,” Paul responded firmly.

Paul further described preparing hotel suites for several “wild king nights,” stocking them with baby oil, liquor, lubricants, and a luxury Gucci pouch filled with various narcotics. After each event, Paul said he would wear gloves and clean the rooms to prevent the hotel from charging for damages.

The assistant also revealed he was arrested for cocaine possession on March 25, 2024, at Miami-Opa Locka Executive Airport while en route to the Bahamas with Combs and others. He claimed he had placed the drugs in his bag after finding them in Combs' room and forgot to remove them before the flight. Asked why he didn’t reveal the source of the drugs to police, Paul responded with a single word: “Loyalty.” He said the charge was later dropped.
