More A-listers continue to be namedropped in Diddy‘s ongoing sexual assault drama, with Barack Obama recently joining the list. The former US President was dragged into the controversial case thanks to the rapper’s ex-assistant, David James. The latter reportedly worked for Diddy from 2007 to 2009 and testified about his experience on Tuesday, May 20.
James told the Jury he saw Diddy using an array of drugs during his employment, including unique ecstasy pills. According to the former assistant, these pleasure-inducing capsules were shaped like a former president’s face. When pressed on who the politician was, James said, “Barack Obama.” His confessions continued with claims of Diddy using Viagra and sperm count supplements.
The former assistant’s allegations matched reports made by federal agents earlier in the trial. These officers testified that they found ketamine and MDMA in Diddy’s New York hotel room in 2024. They made the discovery last September following The Bad Boy Records founder’s arrest, with pictures from the search making it into evidence per TMZ.
Diddy’s Barack Obama Shaped Pills Sparks Hilarious Reactions
The recent claims of Diddy enjoying ecstasy pills shaped like the former President’s face sparked hilarious reactions on X. Some could not believe the allegations, while others suspected there might be more to the story. “We all know Obama is gay!! I mean, why doesn’t the former President just come out of the closet?!?” a conspiracy theorist claimed.
Another echoed similar sentiments, arguing that “Diddy had a penchant for black men.” More people speculated the pair were intimate, with someone noting Diddy probably had a “crush” on Obama. One X user found the drug claim hilarious, declaring, “Poppin Obama is wild.” These reactions differed from the opinions many shared after Michael B. Jordan was namedropped in Diddy’s case.
During the jury selection, the Creed actor’s name became embroiled in the legal drama early this month. We covered the story reporting that potential jurors were asked if they were familiar with certain celebrities like Jordan. A source claimed he was mentioned because of his romantic connection to Diddy’s ex-girlfriend Cassie. The latter is the first to sue and win her sexual abuse lawsuit against the disgraced rapper.
Diddy Allegedly Threatened Michael B. Jordan Over His Relationship With Cassie
During her 2023 lawsuit against Diddy, Cassie revealed she had a “flirtatious relationship with an actor” but never disclosed his name. She noted her romantic ties to the entertainer ended after Diddy found out and “threatened” the actor to stay away. Sources confirmed the man described in the suit was Jordan.
However, the news had some fans theorising that Cassie wasn’t the only A-list celebrity who suffered in Diddy’s hands. Besides the Me & U singer, Jordan dated Lori Harvey, who was once romantically linked to the disgraced rapper. “Diddy and Michael B. Jordan also both dated Lori Harvey. This trial hopefully represents the end of a cruel, sick, and violent situation,” a commenter noted.
Another applauded Jordan’s bravery, stressing that he had the guts to date Harvey despite Diddy’s past threats. The model and the record producer were romantically linked in 2019 after they were spotted enjoying a vacation together. However, their speculated love ended after she unfollowed him later that year. Harvey and Jordan became a couple two years later and concluded their relationship after 18 months.
Will more celebrities be namedropped in Diddy’s ongoing case?
