“Disgusting”: Court Left Speechless As Former Staff Reveal Diddy’s Revolting Eating Habits

Out of all the things that could be discussed in Diddy’s ongoing s–x-trafficking trial, cheeseburgers and apples were not among the expected options. 

Yet, that’s exactly what’s happening behind the closed doors of the Manhattan courtroom.

The court appeared to be disgusted after former assistants of the music mogul decided to reveal his eating habits to the audience, spilling all the secrets — even unexpected ones — on the witness stand.

Highlights
  • Diddy's former staff revealed his unusual eating habit of adding applesauce on cheeseburgers during his trial.
  • The rapper’s staff used his 'Black AMEX' card for diverse purchases, from baby oil to luxury yachts and villas.
  • Jurors showed visible disgust and gagged when hearing about Diddy's strange food preferences.

    As the New York Post reports, Diddy shies away from the usual ketchup and mustard combination on his cheeseburgers. Instead, he goes for the applesauce.

    The sudden subject was brought up when former employee George Kaplan testified regarding the rapper’s use of his ‘Black AMEX,’ which is the nickname for the ultra-exclusive American Express Centurion Card, typically requiring an annual spending of six figures or more.

    As Kaplan spoke to defense attorney Marc Agnifilo, he testified that the staff would use that card to purchase what Diddy requested, which most often consisted of things ranging from baby oil to yacht leases and luxury villas.

    Agnifilo then asked what else was purchased using the card, something that didn’t scream of a luxurious life.

    “Applesauce?” he questioned.

    Kaplan then responded, “Mr. Combs loves applesauce and eats it on the side or on top of a lot of things.” 

    Prodding it further, Agnifilo wondered whether cheeseburgers were among the items the rapper loved to eat with applesauce.

    Kaplan confirmed, “Cheeseburgers being one of them.”

    The former employee mentioned that Diddy’s “world was the size of the Earth” and that it was simply impossible to keep track of all the purchases made on that card. 

    “He was doing business all over the world,” he said. “Frankly, to think that he knew where some of these things were coming from is unrealistic.”

    Surprisingly enough, this mention of applesauce and cheeseburgers wasn’t the only time the topic was brought up in court. 

    On Tuesday, May 20, another former assistant responsible for the hip-hop star, David James, talked about his time working for Diddy and the occasional strange demands he was expected to carry out. 

    James talked about how the rapper isn’t the biggest fan of British tomato sauce and prefers to carry American ketchup when traveling to the UK.

    And similar to Kaplan’s testimony, James said he needed to stock applesauce at one point.

    “Were you aware he put applesauce on his cheeseburgers?” asked Agnifilo, and James responded, “I was not aware, but I knew he liked applesauce.”

    It was impossible to ignore the reactions of the jurors, visibly grimacing while one person went so far as to make a gagging gesture.

    From apples decorating the entryway of Diddy’s mansion to his girlfriend named ‘Gina’ even being victim to an apple-related attack inside his Miami home, it seems the rapper has an affinity for the fruit. 

    Things first started to turn sour for the 55-year-old on November 16, 2023, when his former girlfriend Casandra ‘Cassie’ Ventura filed a lawsuit that claimed he had r–ped and physically ab–sed her.

    A week later, two more women — Joi Dickerson-Neal and Liza Gardner — accused Diddy of s–xual assault in lawsuits that were filed, which the rapper denied. 

    But as the months passed, damning CCTV footage evidence leaked of the music mogul doing many of the actions he denied. Legal actions were taken and experts were brought into the mix.

    On September 16, 2024, Diddy was arrested in New York City after a grand jury voted to indict him on the charges of racketeering conspiracy, s–x trafficking, and transportation to engage in prostitution, dating all the way to 2008, according to CNN.

    His trial officially began on May 5 and is predicted to last several weeks.

    “Applesauce on a cheeseburger: you must convict,” one person joked

    I can’t even see how it’s weird or that a juror “gagged.” People all over the world put various fruits in their meats. Hell; I just had raspberries and truffles on duck. I’m also wondering in what context this was brought up, and why it’s even a matter of discussion.

    Some people are coprophiliacs and literally eat sh*t but applesauce on a burger is disgusting? This court needs to get out more.

    It’s pretty common to cook and serve pork chops with apples, so maybe it’s not too far fetched to put applesauce on a burger. But I don’t plan to try it!

    I'm going to try apple sauce on my burger at my next neighborhood get together. See how long it takes to get arrested! If this isn't this the most ridiculous thing I have heard of since I last looked at "Bored Panda".
