As the trial of Diddy continues, his ex-girlfriend Cassie has alleged on the stand that he would consume a myriad of different drugs.
Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs’ trial officially began on Monday (May 12) and his former partner Casandra Ventura, known professionally as Cassie, has been questioned extensively about the rapper-producer.
Combs was arrested last September while he was in New York and was hit with a slew of charges, including racketeering and sex trafficking by force, fraud or coercion.

Combs has repeatedly denied all the charges against him.
Cassie spoke about their relationship when she first took the stand on Tuesday, and was asked about how she was treated by the music mogul.
This was of particular interest as Combs has faced accusations of being violent towards Cassie when a CCTV video was made public that appeared to show him attacking her inside a Los Angeles hotel back in 2016.

As well as the nature of the relationship, Cassie also spoke about Combs’ alleged drug addiction.
The producer’s lawyer, Anna Estevao, on Thursday (May 15) asked Cassie what he was addicted to, to which she replied while laughing ‘success’.
She clarified and added that he was addicted to opiates, noting that he allegedly told her about them and she saw him consume them.
Estaveo asked: “Did Mr. Combs' mood depend on whether or not he was withdrawing from opiates?”

Cassie replied: “He was more irritable, I would say.”
Cassie also said that his other ‘drugs of choice’ were Ecstasy or MDMA and that she saw him take Opiates daily, when he was taking them. She also reiterated that she saw Combs when he was withdrawing.
As well her comments about Combs’ alleged drug habits, while being cross examined, she spoke about the alleged abuse she suffered at his hands.
Speaking earlier in the week to Assistant United States Attorney Emily Johnson, she said Combs’ moods would vary day to day and that when it ‘swung’ he would show ‘anger’.

Speaking of how it impacted her, she said: “Greatly. The next thing I knew I was getting hit in the face. There was also psychological abuse. He'd tell me to watch my mouth, change my face.”
She also claimed that she hid injuries from loved ones to not reveal Combs’ alleged violence towards her.
In one alleged incident, she says she suffered a 'pretty significant gash' above her left eye after he threw her into a bed frame. Rather than go to hospital, his security staff took her to a plastic surgeon in Beverly Hills, she said.

Jurors were shown photos of her with a swollen lip following the incident as she testified.
