A witness testifying before the grand jury in Diddy’s trial claims he has videos of major celebrities being ‘victimized’ at the hip-hop mogul’s notorious ‘freak-off’ parties.
Courtney Burgess testified before the grand jury on Thursday about the tapes, which he says come from a flash drive kept by Diddy’s ex, Kim Porter.
The tapes are said to show at least two male stars who were ‘underage’ at the time.
It’s unclear if Burgess provided the videos to the grand jury, or whether he simply told the jury about them.
He joined NewsNation’s Banfield on Thursday night to describe some of what the footage shows, claiming ‘all’ of the stars featured appeared to be under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
Burgess, who says he was friends with Diddy, claims all of them were also ‘victimized’.
He did not name any of the celebrities said to be in the videos.
Burgess claims the videos were taken by cameras in Diddy’s homes that were not always obvious to those in the room.
He maintains that he was given the flash drive containing the videos by a friend.
His friend had obtained them from Porter, Burgess says.
It remains unclear if he has handed the tapes over to the authorities.
Burgess says he was friends with the rapper for 35 years, once loving him like a brother.
Now, he sees him as the devil.
‘At the time, I guess he was ambitious. Then from ambitious [he] went to doing anything. And then [he] from doing anything to didn’t care about nobody – who he could beat,’ Burgess told Banfield.
‘And then he ended up turning into Lucifer. And today, I’m looking at him – I know you all call him Diddy or Puffy – I call him Lucifer.’
Diddy is in jail awaiting trial on sex trafficking and racketeering charges. He denies all of the allegations, insisting he is being unfairly targeted.
His legal woes exploded last year when a video emerged that showed him kicking his ex-girlfriend, the singer Cassie, in a Los Angeles hotel.
Since then, dozens of men and women have come forward with damning allegations.
He was arrested earlier this year by federal prosecutors and has since been held in a Brooklyn jail.
