David James, who worked as Diddy’s personal assistant from 2007 to 2009, dropped a jaw-dropping revelation during his testimony in court on Tuesday, offering a rare look at the behind-the-scenes chaos during his time with the music producer.
James testified that he witnessed Diddy with a variety of pills, including ecstasy tablets shaped like the face of a former U.S. president. When prosecutor Christy Slavik asked, “Which former president?” James answered clearly: “Barack Obama.”
According to James, Diddy’s pill collection also featured Viagra, weight loss pills, and sperm count supplements. He admitted to taking ecstasy and sipping on Ciroc, Diddy’s own vodka brand, while on the job, describing the routine as “Diddy-bopping.”
These claims add to the mounting legal troubles surrounding Diddy. Earlier in the trial, federal agents testified that they found ketamine and MDMA in his New York hotel room after his September 2024 arrest. Photographic evidence of the drugs was introduced in court, strengthening the prosecution’s case.
James’ testimony is one of the most vivid accounts so far, detailing not just drug use but a lifestyle that blurred the lines between work and partying. The courtroom drama continues to unfold, with Kid Cudi also expected to testify against the mogul.
