Sean ‘Diddy‘ Combs’ trial for sex-trafficking and racketeering is on its fourth week in New York City federal court.
The music mogul, 55, could spend the rest of his life in prison if he is found guilty of using his wealth and fame to run a criminal enterprise.
A former personal assistant who accuses Diddy of rape testified Monday under the pseudonym Mia. She said that she continued sending the hip-hop mogul loving messages for years after her job ended in 2017 because she was ‘brainwashed.’
Mia followed Cassie as the second of three key prosecution witnesses. The third, using the pseudonym ‘Jane,’ will testify later this week.
Combs, 55, has pleaded not guilty. His lawyers concede he could be violent, but he denies using threats or his music industry clout to commit abuse.
WATCH: Resurfaced video shows Diddy humiliating Cassie over BET performance
A video of Diddy berating Cassie over a less-than-stellar performance of her hit song Me & U on BET in 2006 has been making the rounds as his trial continues in Manhattan.
Cassie had an infamously poor performance on the iconic BET show 106 and park; she said on the stand that Diddy supported her after it, which made them closer.
‘Cassie right here, she had a a whack show… she had a pretty whack show oin BET,’ the music mogul said as the singer nervously smiled next to him.
‘She did not perform at the level of the Bad Boy excellence… but at Bad Boy we’re with our artists through their growth periods.. through their bad shows and good shows.’
