Sean “Diddy” Combs’ former assistant testified Friday about “intense” conditions while working for the disgraced music mogul.
Brendan Paul began working for the “Last Night” rapper in late 2022 up until March 25, 2024 – the day Combs’ Los Angeles and Miami homes were raided as part of a human trafficking investigation.
Paul, a former Syracuse basketball player, claimed that Combs wanted his employees to move like “Seal Team 6,” and his mission was to make sure Combs was always happy. Paul allegedly used Adderall and cocaine to stay awake while employed and would go long periods without sleeping – once for up to three days.

Paul was the fifth person to receive immunity in exchange for his testimony in Combs’ federal sex trafficking and racketeering trial.
He told Christine Slavik of the U.S. Attorney’s Office that Kristina “KK” Khorram, Combs’ former chief of staff, “basically ran the enterprise” for the Bad Boy Records founder. Paul said he initially packed “a lot of joints” for Combs in the early days of his employment and would then travel ahead of Combs to “advance locations,” he testified.

Paul became embroiled in Combs’ legal drama in April 2024, after he was named in a lawsuit filed by Rodney “Lil Rod” Jones against the disgraced mogul. The music producer claimed Paul worked as a “mule” for Combs, procuring and distributing “drugs and guns.” The former college basketball star was then charged with felony cocaine possession, which was later dropped.

Nearly six weeks after the trial began, prosecutors indicated they would rest their case by Friday. The rapper’s legal team recently told Judge Arun Subramanian it will need between two and five days to present its case, a stark contrast to its initial request of up to two weeks with witnesses on the stand.
Combs was charged with racketeering conspiracy; sex trafficking by force, fraud or coercion; and transportation to engage in prostitution in a federal indictment unsealed Sept. 17.
