Sean Combs’ former assistant, David James, testified on Tuesday that his boss had a daily drug habit that included taking drugs shaped like former President Barack Obama’s face.
James said Combs shared his drug habit with other Hollywood celebrities who often used the same drug dealers and pharmacists who didn’t ask questions.
Combs’ daily drug habit included taking Percocets and ecstasy pills. The ecstasy pills were in the shape of Obama’s face.

Federal prosecutor Christine Slavik asked James if he would pick up drugs for Combs.
James replied, “Yes, Percocets at a pharmacy,” and that he also picked up drugs from a drug dealer named “One Stop”.
The prosecution presented photos into evidence that showed drugs found at Combs’ hotel room in New York City when he was arrested and at his homes in Miami and California.
Slavik asked David James if Combs met with a lot of people. James replied that Combs “met former presidents like President Obama.”
But James didn’t implicate Obama in any wrongdoing and prosecutors didn’t indict any pharmacists or drug dealers.
The prosecution’s star witness Cassie Ventura named James as Combs’ “trusted assistant” who helped set up baby oil-soaked “freak-offs” in hotel rooms.
James said his job was to make sure the hotel rooms were stocked with clean underwear, an iPod, apple sauce, vodka, baby oil, Viagra and condoms.
James told the jury that he alone cleaned up the hotel rooms after Combs and Cassie’s freak-offs with male escorts.
James recalled a terrifying incident while driving an angry Combs who had three guns on his lap. Combs was on his way to confront Death Row Records founder Suge Knight in 2008.
But when they reached their destination, Knight and his crew were gone.
