Hip-hop mogul Sean "Diddy" Combs is facing serious allegations from a former employee in his highly publicised court case, which has revealed disturbing testimonies and ignited significant controversy in the entertainment industry
Capricorn Clark, who worked for Combs for over ten years, testified that he kidnapped her at gunpoint in 2011, intending to attack rapper Kid Cudi. The trial .
Clark took the stand recently, stating that Combs and a security guard forced her to drive to Cudi's home with the chilling directive, "Get dressed, we're going to go kill Mescudi”.
The atmosphere in the courtroom was tense as she recounted how Combs arrived at her doorstep, visibly angry and armed with a gun, after discovering his ex-girlfriend, Cassie Ventura, was dating Cudi.
In her testimony, she described a harrowing experience that left her in a state of fear for her life.
In his defence, Diddy, 55, has pleaded not guilty to a slew of charges including racketeering, sex trafficking and transportation to engage in prostitution.
The situation escalated as Cudi, whose real name is Scott Mescudi, also testified last week, detailing a disturbing relationship with Combs and alleging a break-in at his Los Angeles home, which he believes was orchestrated by the mogul.
Clark reported that when they arrived at Cudi's residence, Combs and his security guard broke into the home while she remained in the vehicle.
She phoned Ventura to tell her about the situation.
Clark recounted Combs's anger when he caught her on the call. She said that Combs told her to convince Cudi that he was not involved in the break-in at his Los Angeles home.
"If you don't convince him of that, I'll kill all of you,” she relayed, Combs telling her.
In the aftermath of the Cudi incident, Combs brutally beat and kicked Ventura, prompting Clark to make a desperate call to Ventura's mother, Regina Ventura.
Clark recalled telling her: "He's beating the s*** out of your daughter. I’m in over my head. Please help her. I can’t call the police, but you can."
Clark said Combs told her if she intervened, he would attack her next.
She added that no one on Combs’s security team intervened to stop the attack.
Clark’s testimony unfolded further as she described her tumultuous relationship with Combs, revealing a toxic work environment.
On her very first day, she claimed Combs issued a death threat, warning her that her previous employment with other artists shouldn't jeopardise her career with him.
Despite this, she acknowledged feeling a sense of loyalty towards Combs.
The courtroom also listened as Clark recounted an ordeal where she was allegedly confined for 40 hours while subjected to a lie detector test, concerning suspicions around Combs's missing jewellery.
She said she did not report the incident to human resources, citing Combs’s threats that any police involvement would lead to severe consequences for her and others close to him.
Later, Clark discussed the fallout with Combs that led to her dismissal.
She said that she lost access to crucial benefits and stability: “He said I would never work again and all these people weren’t my friends," she recalled, but she ultimately returned to Combs’s company in 2016 as Ventura's creative director.
Clark further revealed a shocking detail: Combs allegedly asked her to procure drugs, both illegal and prescription, on several occasions.
Clark told the court that while Combs usually obtained drugs on his own, she was sometimes asked to get substances for him.
She said Combs once asked her to get him cocaine while they were in the south of France in 2006.
He also asked her to get prescription drugs in her name and that he would pay for it, Clark said.
Part of Clark's job was to set up hotel rooms for Combs, which she told the court required drugs and an intravenous drip.
She said she would unpack his clothing and make sure his personal belongings were in place, which included baby oil and a small camera.
Part of the setup required a toiletry bag with drugs such as ecstasy, Clark said.
Combs also required IV drips for himself and Ventura, which he said contained something similar to serotonin supplements and would help them recover from the drug use.
The trial is expected to last for five more weeks.
