The trial of music mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs took a dramatic turn on Tuesday, as the second witness testified about his private encounters with Combs’ ex-girlfriend, Cassie Ventura. Daniel Phillip, a male escort, revealed that he was hired by Combs for intimate sessions with Cassie in exchange for thousands of dollars.
Phillip, speaking at the trial, recounted the graphic details of the encounters. He explained that during one session, Combs allegedly watched the encounter from the corner of the room while pleasuring himself. The witness also stated that the music mogul gave him specific instructions during the acts with Cassie, as told to The Washington Post.

According to Phillip, the first meeting took place at the Gramercy Park Hotel in Manhattan, where he was initially booked to perform at a bachelorette event. Upon entering the room, Cassie reportedly asked him to massage her with “baby oil,” and the intimate activities proceeded while Combs was present. The music mogul allegedly introduced himself as an import and export business worker.
Phillip testified that Combs paid him $6,000 per encounter, offering further details about the instructions he received throughout the sessions. The situation escalated, he stated, when Combs allegedly began to physically abuse Cassie during one of the encounters. Phillip explained his reasoning for not reporting the abuse to the authorities at the time, stating, “My thoughts were that this was someone with unlimited power. And chances are that, even if I did go to the police, I might still lose my life.”
