Sean John Combs, popularly known as Diddy, is under trial on criminal charges of s—x trafficking, racketeering conspiracy and transportation to engage in pr—stitution. The trial began on May 5 with jury selection, and on May 12, opening statements were made. Since then, bombshell revelations have become public knowledge via shocking evidence and witness testimonies. 

On Wednesday, May 21, federal prosecutors released more than 40 images from the raid on Diddy’s Miami mansion. For the unaware, two of Diddy’s properties, one in Miami and one in Los Angeles, were raided by DHS agents in March 2024, which eventually led to his arrest in September. 

The jury was shown pictures of narcotics, and guns found at Diddy’s mansion during the raid. Department of Homeland Security agent Gerard Gannon testified that dozens of bottles of baby oils and lubricant, condoms, lingerie, and s—x toys were also found. 

One of the many images released in court also revealed the secret behind Diddy’s jet-black hair. Daily Mail reports that a box of ‘Just for Men’ black hair dye was found among guns, narcotics, and ‘freak-off’ supplies. It turns out that 55-year-old Diddy maintained youthful hair and beard using a black dye. 

Therefore, when he appeared in the courtroom after spending many months in Brooklyn jail, he looked different—his hair is grey now, a natural thing to have for anyone in their 50s. Now, when Diddy is unable to color his hair, he also looks relatively older. He has also put on some weight. 

During the hearing, prosecutors also presented photos of injuries that Cassie Ventura testified Diddy had given to her. It included visible bruises on her back, legs and her face. In some of the pictures, Ventura was seen wearing sunglasses to hide her black eye that Diddy gave while violently attacking her at an LA hotel in 2016, an incident which was captured on CCTV and was released by CNN last year. 

DHS Agent Gannon also told the jury that the narcotics shown in the pictures included cocaine, ketamine, MDMA, Xanax and hallucinogenic mushrooms. A green case with Diddy’s name was also found which was reportedly used to transport his marijuana. Lipsticks, lingerie, bodystocking and stilettos were also found at his Miami home. 26 bottles of Johnson’s Baby Oil and 16 bottles of Astroglide lubricant were discovered. 

During his testimony, Agent Gannon also revealed that parts of AR-15 rifles were found all throughout the accused rapper’s luxury mansion. The serial numbers of many weapons were removed to make them untraceable, reported Daily Mail. 

During her testimony in the first week of the trial, Ventura said that the rapper forced her to perform in ‘freak-off s—x parties, which included drug-fueled sexual interactions with male escorts. She claimed that these parties sometimes lasted for days which left her in immense pain. She also testified that Sean Combs r—ped her in 2018. 

Her testimony was supported by Dawn Richard and Kerry Morgan, who both said that they witnessed Diddy physically abusing Ventura. Ventura’s mother also took the stand, claiming that she took pictures of her daughter’s injuries and how he blackmailed Ventura that he’ll release her sexually explicit videos. A male escort who Diddy allegedly hired for his ‘freak-off part’, and a security guard who responded when Diddy attacked Ventura in 2016, also gave their testimony. 

Diddy is facing five federal charges and dozens of civil lawsuits, many of which are alleged sexual abuse. The rapper has denied all allegations and has pleaded not guilty to all charges.
