In a jaw-dropping moment during Sean “Diddy” Combs’ federal sex trafficking and racketeering trial, celebrity stylist Deonte Nash delivered bombshell testimony about the hip-hop mogul’s alleged threats and abuse towards his ex-girlfriend Cassie.
???? Pop Culture Breaking Point
On Wednesday, Nash stunned the courtroom in New York City by claiming he directly witnessed Diddy threaten Cassie’s music career with the release of explicit sex tapes. And on Thursday, the revelations just kept coming.
Alleged Threats and Explosive Relationships Revealed
Taking the stand for a second day, Nash testified that while working in South Africa styling rapper Lil’ Kim, he helped Cassie set up a romantic connection with actor Michael B. Jordan.

But that wasn’t all—Nash was also asked about Cassie’s rumored relationship with former NFL linebacker Andre Branch.
“Oh, the cute football player? Yes. But I never met him,” Nash quipped when asked if he knew about Branch.
Another name surfaced: an NBA player referred to only as “Brandon.”
Text Messages and Role-Playing in Court
Diddy’s defense attorney, Xavier Donaldson, read text messages exchanged with Nash, prompting Nash to react:
“Oh, you got some names in here.”
The courtroom observed as Donaldson and Nash role-played portions of the exchange, with some of the texts seemingly referencing Cassie’s facial injuries.
Nash was asked whether Cassie ever mentioned having threesomes with other men.
“Ugh. No, she didn’t tell me,” Nash replied, distancing himself from any such claims.
Allegations of Surveillance and Control
Nash confirmed he was aware of Diddy recording Cassie on her own phone and said he believed it to be true. He also revealed he helped Cassie choose her outfit for her recent court appearance just two weeks ago—suggesting an ongoing connection between the two.
Cassie’s Past With Kid Cudi Comes Up
The prosecution dug into Cassie’s past relationship with rapper Scott “Kid Cudi” Mescudi. Nash acknowledged he was aware of the relationship, believing it took place after Cassie had broken up with Diddy.
This added fuel to previous explosive claims from Kid Cudi that his car mysteriously exploded outside his home after Diddy allegedly found out about their romance.
Murder, Scrapbooks & Social Media Drama
Before the jury was even seated Thursday, tensions flared as prosecutors and defense attorneys clashed over the admissibility of a scrapbook belonging to Diddy’s former assistant, Mia. The scrapbook shockingly referenced the 1997 murder of rapper Christopher “Notorious B.I.G.” Wallace.
Prosecutors also confronted the defense over numerous texts and social media posts, including messages surrounding Deonte Nash’s testimony.
Wednesday’s Bombshell: Alleged Physical Abuse
On his first day on the stand, Nash made headlines when he alleged he saw Diddy get physically violent with Cassie.
“I saw her head bleeding,” Nash said, recounting an incident that left the courtroom stunned.
He admitted he never reported the abuse at the time because he feared retaliation—a chilling reminder of the power dynamic at play.
