In a stunning courtroom revelation Tuesday, Diddy’s former personal assistant, David James, testified that former President Barack Obama regularly met with the man who allegedly picked up drugs for the music mogul.

During questioning by prosecutors in Diddy’s New York sex trafficking trial, David James revealed that Diddy’s drug dealer had met with “former presidents.” When pressed for clarification, James explicitly confirmed he was referring to former President Barack Obama.

When Diddy’s attorney objected to the line of questioning, the judge agreed and sustained the objection, effectively halting that part of the testimony.

Barack Obama has acknowledged his past drug use, both in interviews and in his 1995 memoir, Dreams from My Father.

In the book, he candidly admits to using marijuana and cocaine during his youth, writing, “I had learned not to care. I blew a few smoke rings, remembering those years. Pot had helped, and booze; maybe a little blow when you could afford it.”

However, these allegations prompt serious questions about whether hard drug use extended into Obama’s years in public office.

The explosive revelation that former President Obama allegedly met multiple times with Diddy’s drug courier adds weight to longstanding rumors within the entertainment industry—most notably claims by Suge Knight—that Diddy possesses blackmail material on Obama.

Speaking from prison on Chris Cuomo’s NewsNation show following Diddy’s arrest last year, the Death Row Records founder didn’t hold back, alleging that Diddy is not only a federal informant, but also has compromising information on several high-level political figures, including the former president.

On Tuesday, Diddy’s ex-assistant also testified that Combs regularly consumed various drugs, including ecstasy pills uniquely shaped like Obama’s face. 

James described discovering 25 to 30 pill bottles in Combs’ toiletry bag during hotel stays, containing substances such as Percocet, ecstasy, Viagra, weight loss pills, and sperm count supplements.

James also detailed his role in procuring drugs and personal items for Combs, including filling prescriptions under his own name.

The trial has also brought forward allegations from Combs’ ex-girlfriend, Cassie Ventura, who testified about being manipulated into drug-fueled sex parties, referred to as “Freak Offs,” and subjected to abuse and blackmail. Her mother corroborated these claims, providing photos and an email where Ventura expressed fear for her safety.

Cassie’s mother Regina Ventura also took to the stand and testified that Combs demanded $20,000 in 2011, threatening to release explicit “freak-off” videos of Cassie after learning of her relationship with rapper Kid Cudi. 

Fearing for her daughter’s safety, Regina and her husband took out a home equity loan to pay Combs, depositing the money into a Bad Boy Records account; the funds were returned a few days later. Regina also shared that Combs filmed “freak-off” sex parties to use as leverage, corroborating Cassie’s earlier testimony of an abusive, decade-long relationship marked by degradation and violence.

Combs, who has pleaded not guilty to charges including racketeering, sex trafficking, and transportation for prostitution, remains in federal custody as the trial continues to unfold.
