One of Diddy’s victims said the rapper fed drugs from his “medicine bag” during his infamous parties and described him as “animal” when he used them.

Speaking to DailyMail.com, the victim revealed that Diddy would choke on drugs from a stash known as his “medicine bag” during the holidays.

‘There was a moment when he came down from his room and it surprised me because he looked like an animal. “I didn’t even recognize him,” the victim said.

“His veins were bursting and his body was contorting in a terrifying manner. It just scared me.’

A resurfaced video of Diddy, 54, and Justin Bieber, now 30, hugging has sparked speculation that Diddy was checking to see if the pop star was wearing a microphone.

In the clip, believed to have been filmed in 2021 when Justin was 27, the pair are seen hugging and Diddy giving Justin multiple pats on the back and chest.

The video was shared on

Diddy’s attorneys also filed a motion for an evidentiary hearing, accusing the government of leaking sensitive information about the case.

It is understood concerns have been raised over how surveillance footage of Diddy punching his ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura in a hotel became public.

Diddy’s attorney said: “A series of illegal government leaks, which have led to damaging and highly prejudicial pretrial publicity that can only taint the jury and deprive Mr. Combs of his right to a fair trial.”

Diddy seeks access to a mountain of data that prosecutors have seized since his homes in Miami and Los Angeles were raided in March 2024.

In total, prosecutors are copying more than 40 of the star’s electronic devices.

“The discovery in this case is voluminous and totals several terabytes of electronic material,” the government argued in the latest document.

There are 1,000 gigabytes per terabyte of data, meaning the government is currently sifting through thousands of gigabytes of potentially crucial information.

This includes mobile phones, laptops, tablets, hard drives and cloud accounts from both Diddy and third parties.

Additionally, prosecutors are reviewing the business records of financial institutions, telephone companies, hotels and airlines as they build their case.
