The two cryptic words Sean 'Diddy' Combs muttered under his breath during his ongoing criminal trial have been revealed.
The 55-year-old music mogul faces a mountain of federal charges, including racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking, and transportation to engage in prostitution. If convicted, he could spend the rest of his life behind bars.
As Tuesday’s session (May 20) wound down, Combs, who pleaded not guilty, addressed the courtroom directly, declaring: “I love you all,” PEOPLE reported. But what came next, spoken barely above a murmur, caught attention: “Yeah. Love.”
He then reportedly added to a woman in the gallery: “Please let Justin know I’m thinking of him,” seemingly referring to his 31-year-old son Justin Combs. He placed his hand over his heart before exiting the room.
The emotional moment capped off a day of disturbing testimony that continued to expose Combs' private life.
Taking the stand was Gerard Gannon, the Homeland Security agent who led the March 2024 raid on Diddy’s Miami Beach mansion.
Gannon detailed the seizure of a Gucci bag stuffed with pills, white powder, and a crystal rock-like substance. The court was told the bag’s contents tested positive for cocaine and ketamine, while nearby eye drops came back positive for MDMA and ketamine, per Sky News.
Also found in a closet were 25 bottles of baby oil and 31 bottles of lubricant - photographic evidence of which was shown in court.
“Upper and lower receivers of AR-15s” were also recovered, some with serial numbers scratched off, Gannon shared. “It’s a lot more difficult or impossible” to determine the owner of a firearm without a serial number, the agent testified.
He noted that the rifles had some unusual features, including full-auto selectors, and were set to semi-automatic.
These revelations follow a harrowing week of testimony from Diddy’s ex-girlfriend, Cassie Ventura, and her mother, Regina Ventura.
Cassie, 41 and now pregnant with her third child, testified to enduring years of abuse, emotional, physical, and sexual, throughout her on-again, off-again relationship with Diddy from 2007 to 2018.
She described being coerced into “freak-off” sessions, where she was forced to have sex with male escorts while Combs watched and filmed. Some of these encounters, she claimed, lasted up to four days.
Horrifying pictures shown to jurors included bruises on her thighs and back, a bloody eyebrow gash, and visibly swollen lips - images reportedly taken just after she fled a brutal beating in a Los Angeles hotel in 2016.
One selfie snapped from an Uber showed her in dark sunglasses to cover what she testified was a black eye.
“That’s me,” Cassie told the court. “Just a selfie of my fat lip wearing sunglasses … Because I had a black eye underneath. Just trying to cover it.”
In another twist, Cassie’s mother claimed Diddy tried to blackmail the family over “sex tape” footage from those freak-off events.
She testified that Diddy demanded $20,000 or he’d release the videos. The family took out a home equity loan to pay him, though the money was later returned after a few days, per PEOPLE.
The abuse didn’t stop at beatings. One photo taken in 2018, toward the end of their relationship, showed a kitchen knife jammed into a door handle.
Cassie explained: “I was getting a lot of unannounced visits from Sean, and I was trying to kill two birds with one stone. Lock [the door] and I had a weapon.”
Combs has continued to deny all allegations, maintaining his innocence amid mounting evidence and explosive testimonies.
