Diddy’s Ex-Assistant Recalls Horrifying Threats By Rapper’s Staff In Bombshell Testimony

Diddy’s former assistant is dropping some weighted bombs during the music mogul’s s–x-trafficking trial.

Capricorn Clark worked for Sean “Diddy” Combs from 2004 and 2012 and testified on Tuesday, May 27, that she had been threatened and kidnapped during her time with the rapper.

Before working for the 55-year-old, Clark said she’d worked for Suge Knight at De–th Row Records, which didn’t go over well with Combs as he had been in a years-long feud with Knight and his protégé, Tupac Shakur.

Highlights
  • Diddy’s ex-assistant Capricorn Clark revealed she faced serious threats and kidnapping by the rapper’s staff during her employment.
  • Clark testified she was subjected to multiple lie detector tests for five days after jewelry went missing.
  • Clark and Cassie Ventura, both former employees, developed a close friendship amid accusations and lawsuits against Diddy for abuse and control.

    “He told me that he didn’t know that I had anything to do with Suge Knight and that if anything happened, he would have to k–ll me,” she said during her testimony, adding that she thought his threat was “very serious.”

    She continued, “I felt like there was some gravitas that he had some issues with Sage.” 

    Clark went on to describe an incident where she had been “kidnapped” by Combs and his staff. His head of security, Paul “Uncle Paulie” Offord, had allegedly taken her to the rapper’s offices for a few lie detector tests after discovering that pieces of Combs’ jewelry had gone missing.

    The entire procedure required checking her to “figure out what happened with the jewelry.”

    “He said if you fail this test, they’re going to throw you in the East River,” she recalled on the stand.

    She was reportedly tested for five days. Offord brought her into the office every morning and said they wouldn’t let her go until they “got to the bottom” of the truth. And Clark said she complied because she wanted to “prove [her] innocence.”

    “I didn’t like the threats,” she said. “I just wanted to get through it.”

    The tests reportedly came back as “inconclusive.” Clark was able to continue working for Combs, as the former assistant said she kept going to work out of fear that the rapper would think she was the suspect if she didn’t.

    While working for the music mogul, Clark held several positions, including marketing director for Sean John. She also worked for Cassandra ‘Cassie’ Ventura — who has also testified against Combs for physical and s–xual abuse — as a creative director between 2016 and 2018.

    It was reported that Ventura and Clark developed a deep friendship with one another, as the former began to confide in her regarding her brief romance with rapper Kid Cudi in 2011.

    Things first started to turn sour for Combs on November 16, 2023, when Ventura filed her lawsuit against the producer, adding that he’d sought to control all aspects of her personal life.

    Just a week later, two more women came forward to accuse Combs of s–xual assault in lawsuits that were filed in the New York Supreme Court. The rapper fiercely denied these allegations.

    “ENOUGH IS ENOUGH,” he wrote on Instagram on December 6, 2023. “For the last couple of weeks, I have sat silently and watched people try to assassinate my character, destroy my reputation and my legacy.

    “Sickening allegations have been made against me by individuals looking for a quick payday. Let me be absolutely clear: I did not do any of the awful things being alleged. I will fight for my name, my family and for the truth.”

    The post has since been deleted from his feed.

    On September 16, 2024, Combs was arrested in New York City. His trial officially started on May 5, 2025, and is set to last several weeks.

    Many commenters were strongly against Diddy as the trial continues
