Inside Diddy's $40M Mansion: Assault Rifles, Drugs, and More

Jurors stared intently at a gun taken from Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs’ Miami mansion in a dramatic moment on day eight of his sex trafficking trial.

The panel of 12 people and six alternates locked their eyes on the .45 calibre pistol as it was held up by Homeland Security agent Gerard Gannon.

He walked the weapon in front of the jury at the court in New York yesterday, one of several physical exhibits brought in from the property on Star Island, a celebrity enclave which is home to Jennifer Lopez and Gloria Estefan.

The jury also saw photos taken on the day of the raid in March last year that amounted to a disturbing window into the hip-hop mogul’s lifestyle.

Even though he was a multi-millionaire living in one of the most exclusive areas of the country, the rapper’s playroom was home to illegal drugs, AR-15 assault rifles, sex toys, boxes of platform shoes and dozens of bottles of baby oil in his closet.

Prosecutors have claimed that Combs, 55, used baby oil for his sex parties, which he called ‘Freak Offs’ and forced his ex-girlfriend Casandra ‘Cassie’ Ventura to take part in with male escorts.

Jurors paid close attention as agent Gannon walked them through dozens of photos and physical exhibits taken from the $40million (£30million) home.

Agent Gannon told the court they used an armoured vehicle to smash open the gate to gain entry as quickly as possible.

He said this was the ‘quickest and safest option’ and was ‘standard practice’ to ‘not allow bad actors to set up [shooting] positions to harm law enforcement’.

Normally raids happen at 6am but they did this one at 3.40pm because Homeland Security – which oversees investigations into human trafficking – knew Combs and his family were going to be flying overseas.

The court heard how 80 to 90 agents were involved in the raid, where a collection of women’s footwear as well as a rope were found.

Agent Gannon said in total they found 13 pairs of high heels as he held up a bag showing a red pair.

In one drawer in a closet, investigators found 25 bottles of baby oil and 31 bottles of Astroglide, a lubricant prosecutors claim Combs used in Freak Offs.

Prosecutors asked if that was all the baby oil found in the house. ‘It was not,’ agent Gannon replied.

The court was told how inside a Gucci bag various drugs were found which tested positive for cocaine, ketamine and MDMA.

Dozens of bottles of baby oil and Astroglide lubricant were uncovered during the raid – as well as a box of nitrous oxide

There were also tablets with a Tesla logo on them that tested positive for MDMA, and a straw and a $100 note which tested positive for cocaine and ketamine.

And a bag of ten brown capsules that were found tested positive for psilocybin – the active ingredient in mushrooms.

In another dramatic moment, agent Gannon cut open a plastic bag containing the top part of one of two AR-15 assault rifles that were found wrapped in a white towel in the closet.

He also held up bags containing ammunition to members of the jury.

Combs denies sex trafficking and other charges. He faces life in prison if convicted.

The trial continues.
