Diddy’s former personal assistant details how he would allegedly prepare hotel rooms and what they were stocked with
Diddy's ex assistant has spoken in details of the items that he would allegedly prep hotel rooms with for his then-employer.
Diddy, real name Sean Combs, is currently on trial for two counts of sex trafficking by force, fraud or coercion, racketeering conspiracy and two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution — all of which he has denied.
Proceedings started earlier this month, with opening statements taking place on May 12.
Since then, Diddy's ex partner Cassie Ventura has taken to the stand and made a series of bombshell allegations about the Bad Boy Records founder.

Now, his former assistant David James has taken to the stand.
James, who worked for Diddy for two years between 2007 to 2009, spoke this morning (May 20) and detailed the numerous items he'd allegedly put into hotel rooms for Diddy.
As per The Washington Post, James said that some of the personal items he'd supply for Diddy included things like fresh underwear, socks, slides and iPads, along with various snacks, including applesauce, Jell-O and Fiji water.
The 'Last Night' hitmaker also reportedly required a toiletry bag filled with '40 different cosmetic products'.
In addition to all these items was a medicine bag supposedly filled with '35 to 40' different types of medications. James listed Advil, Tylenol, water pills (to lose weight), and Viagra as some of the tablets in the bag.
Allegedly, Diddy also had meds to 'increase his sperm count', as well as Percocet and ecstasy.
James further claimed that Diddy's security would carry a Louis Vuitton bag filled with cash, which sometimes had as much as $10,000 or more inside.
Prosecutors hope that what James said will help them establish the racketeering charges Diddy is facing.
James' testimony comes after jurors were shown photographic evidence of the contents of one of Diddy's hotel rooms.
Snaps showed bottles of lubricant and baby oil, a bottle of Clonazepam medication (something used to try a variety of different things, such as anxiety disorders, seizures, and bipolar mania), and $9,000 worth of cash.
A suspicious-looking pink drug was also discovered by cops, which later went on to test positive for ketamine in one bag, and the other a mixture of MDMA and ketamine.
The United States Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) describes ketamine as 'a dissociative aesthetic that has some hallucinogenic effects'. Meanwhile MDMA is both a 'stimulant and hallucinogen'.
