She said she and Diddy were leaving a press event at MTV when the mogul told an executiven he was having issues with 50 Cent.

Diddy reortedly said, ‘I don’t lie the back and forth, I don’t like that. I like guns.’

Diddy has frequently dispelled any rumors of a feud between the legends, but Curtis Jackson, also known as 50 Cent, has been slamming his nemesis publicly for years.

From sworn testimony to video evidence and the rapper’s every subtle move, our team of journalists take you inside the courtroom of the world’s biggest celebrity case.

Daily Mail has been following Diddy’s downfall from the very beginning. Join us as we hear from experts involved in the case, and members of the rapper’s inside circle.

Diddy’s spokeswoman and crisis management publicist Holly Baird has been supporting him in court nearly every day since the trial started earlier this month.

She specializes in damage control for notorious public figures.

Baird previously worked as a ppublicist for disgraced film producer Harvey Weinstein.

50 Cent took to Instagram Tuesday to react to his name being dropped during Capricorn Clark’s testimony against Diddy.

Clark said she once heard Diddy saying about his rivalry with 50 Cent: ‘I don’t like the back and forth, I don’t like that. I like guns.’

50 Cent took to social media to respond.

‘Wait a minute PUFFY’s got a gun, I can’t believe this I don’t feel safe,’ 50 Cent wrote on Instagram alongside an AI-generated image of him in a film set.

Clark said that after Diddy broke into Kid Cudi’s house, the mogul texted Cassie saying ‘he has me and he’s not going to let me go until [she comes get to me.]’

Diddy’s former assistant said Diddy told her and Cassie they needed to go convince Kid Cudi to not call the cops after the break-in.

Diddy allegedly told them, ‘If you guys don’t convince him of that I’ll kill all you motherf***ers.’

Clark said she told Cudi, ‘if you tell on him he’s going to hurt us all.’

Capricorn Clark told the court when a ‘furious’ Diddy found out about Kid Cudi seeing Cassie, he showed up at her house armed with a gun.

‘[Diddy] said get dressed we’re going to go kill this n*****,’ Clark said as she teared up on the stand.

Clark told the jury she was then forced to go to Cudi’s house in the Hollywood Hills despite saying she did not want to go.

She said once they arrived at Cudi’s home, she stayed in the car while Diddy and his staff tried to get inside the mansion.

Clark then reportedly called Cassie and Cudi, and informed them Diddy was at his house.

‘I could hear [Cudi] running out. I said Cassie, stop him, he’s going to get himself killed.’

The rapper, who is currently facing a sex trafficking trial in Manhattan federal court, has raked in $4.1M since his arrest on September 16, according to the US Sun.

Clark told the jury she learned that Cassie was seeing Kid Cudi when the R&B singer brought him to her apartment for a hangout.

She said she became ‘very concerned’ that Diddy would learn about the relationship.

‘I took her to Best Buy to buy a burner phone. The way she was moving she was going to get us all killed,’ Clark said in court.

Diddy’s team objected to the comment, and the judge sustained it.

London, who was a close friend of Cassie Ventura, came up in Clark’s testimony Tuesday.

Clark said Diddy once explained to her and London why they ‘didn’t have a man.’

‘(He said) let me show you something. He called Cassie over and he asked her to sit down, stand up, turn around, turn the other way, walk over there, grab that hand me that, walk back, turn around, go back in the other room,’ Clark told the jury.

When Ventura left the room, ‘[Diddy]said, “did you see that? You bitches won’t do that. That’s why you don’t have a man.”

‘To which we said: “You’re motherf***ing right.”

Sean ‘Diddy‘ Combs’ former assistant Capricorn Clark is expected to take the stand against him during his sex-trafficking trial in New York.

The mogul’s ex-employee has been mentioned about a dozen times by various witnesses who have taken the stand in the trial, and prosecutors claim she was kidnapped twice by Diddy or his bodyguards.

Clark described Diddy as ‘the devil’ in 2023 after he was hit with several lawsuits, writing: ‘Last 11 years of my life, I have had to deal with EVERYONES nonsensical allegiance to the devil.’

Clark told the jury about several instances where she was allegedly threatened by Diddy.

She said the first threat came when the mogul learned she had previously worked for his rival Suge Knight.

‘He told me he didn’t know I had anything to do with Suge Knight. If anything happened he’d have to kill me,’ Clark told the jury.

Clark also told the jury her life was threatened after she was robbed while carrying Diddy’s jewerly bag and forced to take a lie detector test.

‘He said I had been brought to the building to take a lie detector test to figure out what happened with this jewelry,’ Clark said in court.

‘He said if you fail these tests they’re going to throw you in the East River.’

Clark said she was forced to come back to take the lie detector test for the next four days.

‘I wanted to prove my innocence and didn’t like the threats. I just wanted to get through it,’ she told the jury.

Capricorn and Cassie are pictured together in 2008.

Clark took the stand Tuesday and told the court she started working with Death Row records after graduating college.

She said Suge Knight was her manager and described him as the ‘father of my best friend’s children.’

The mogul’s ex-employee has been mentioned about a dozen times by various witnesses who have taken the stand in the trial, and prosecutors claim she was kidnapped twice by Diddy or his bodyguards.

The music mogul’s staggering downfall began when Cassie, real name Cassandra Ventura, filed a bombshell lawsuit in 2023 detailing terrifying claims of sexual abuse and violence.

The lawsuit was settled for an undisclosed amount just a day after it was filed, but it was too late for Diddy’s reputation, and the rapper was then hit with dozens of lawsuits including similar claims.

Sean ‘Diddy‘ Combs is currently in the fight of his life in federal court as he stares down the prospect of decades behind bars.

The disgraced rap mogul, 55, has been charged with two counts of sex trafficking, two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution and one count of racketeering.

According to prosecutors, the rapper used his ‘multi-faceted business empire’ to carry out a ‘criminal enterprise’ for years, allegedly coercing victims into sexual ‘freak off’ marathons and threatening them into silence.

The racketeering and sex trafficking charges carry a minimum sentence of 15 years each, while transportation to engage in prostitution carries a maximum of 10 years behind bars.

The music mogul has entered the federal courtroom on Tuesday for the third week of his sex-trafficking trial.

He is wearing a Navy sweater, one of the personal clothing items he has been allowed to wear throughout the trial.

The mogul is allowed to wear his own clothes to the trial but with some conditions.

He can only have up to five pairs of pants, shirts and socks and only two pairs of shoes – with no laces.

Diddy is charged with racketeering conspiracy, two charges of sex trafficking and two charges of transportation to engage in prostitution.

Prosecutors claim Diddy coerced victims into drug-fueled sex parties using sex and violence. The rapper has denied all accusations, saying all sex acts were consensual.

As the 55-year-old music mogul faces at least another six weeks of grilling, the Daily Mail unpacks the drama which has unfolded in the Manhattan federal courtroom so far.

The music mogul returned to court today wearing a navy sweater after a long weekend break.

Diddy spent Memorial Day break behind bars after Judge Subramanian told the jury on Thursday that they had ‘earned’ a four day weekend.

At the Brooklyn Metropolitan Detention Center, the former rapper reported dined on barbecue chicken, kidney beans, macaroni and cheese, mixed veggies and wholemeal bread for Memorial Day lunch.

Inmates were then served a ‘festive dessert’ and beverage.

‘He is being treated like any other detainee awaiting trial,’ an insider disclosed to the Mirror in September 2024.

Once one of the most powerful music moguls in the world, Sean ‘Diddy‘ Combs is now relying on a $10 million team of legal heavyweights to rescue his ruined reputation as his sex trafficking trial rolls on for another six weeks.

The defiant Grammy Award winning rapper is used to commanding a crowd – but he has been sitting silently on the defense benches while eight key defense attorneys take center stage during the blockbuster case in Manhattan federal court.

His leading lawyers are Marc Agnifilo, 60, a former Manhattan District Attorney who has tried more than 200 cases during his 30-year career, and millennial ‘nepo baby‘ defender Teny Geragos, 34, who has been using TikTok to argue Diddy’s case.

Williams previously claimed that she was fired from popular New York City radio show Hot 97 in 1998 after sharing her belief that Combs was gay.

She supposedly claimed to have a photo of Diddy being intimate with a man.

She also made scandalous remark about the percentage of gay entertainers during a Hot 97 segment addressing the allegations that then-basketball star Eddy Curry had made sexual advances at his male driver.

Williams, during the broadcast, cited her ‘inside’ experience in the entertainment industry as evidence to support self-proclaimed statistics for the percentage of rappers and pro-athletes who were gay.

She claimed that ‘two out of ten’ players and ‘five out of ten in music’ were gay.

On Tuesday, prosecutors say they’ll call Capricorn Clark, who was an assistant to Combs and a member of his marketing team.

They said they also expect to call witnesses from the Los Angeles police and fire departments.

Kid Cudi testified Thursday that Cassie sounded ‘very stressed, nervous, just scared’ when she phoned him in December 2011 to say that Combs had learned they were dating.

Cudi said he was confused because he thought Combs and Cassie had broken up.

Then, he said, one of Combs’ assistants called.

She said Combs and an aide were in Cudi’s home, waiting to speak with him. She also said she had been forced into a car to join them.

Cudi said he raced to his house, but Combs was gone. Inside, he testified, he found Christmas gifts had been opened and his dog was locked in the bathroom. After the break-in, his dog was ‘very jittery and kind of on edge all the time,’ he said.

Then, someone set fire to Cudi’s car, destroying it.

Cudi set he met with Combs to squash their beef the next day at a Los Angeles hotel. When he walked in, he said Combs was staring out the window standing with hands behind his back ‘like a Marvel supervillain.’

Combs denied having anything to do with the burned car, but Cudi said he didn’t believe him.

Diddy’s trial has inspired deep fake videos that use AI-generated images to falsely claim that certain celebrities have been mentioned in the mogul’s sex-trafficking case.

One of the viral fake videos claims Oscar-winner Mo’Nique took the stand against Diddy and mentioned Oprah Winfrey and Tyler Perry.

Another viral fake video claims Jennifer Lawrence testified in the case.

While these stars have no known connection to the case and did not take the stand, many celebrities have indeed been named in the trial.

Michael B Jordan and Kid Cudi have come up as men Diddy was jealous of because of their relationship with Cassie.

Barack Obama’s name came up in testimony as one of Diddy’s former assistants claimed the mogul used to take ectasy pills pressed with the former president’s face.

Britney Spears also came up as Cassie listed the starts who attended her 21st birthday party.

And Prince was named as Cassie described being attacked by Diddy after a party at the late superstar’s house in LA.
