According to his former employees, Sean “Diddy” Combs had a very specific—and unusual—list of food items he needed for his international excursions.
During his testimony in Combs’ sex trafficking trial on Thursday, May 22, former employee George Kaplan explained how the rapper and his group paid for everything Combs asked for, including luxury villas, yacht rentals, and baby oil, using a Black Amex card.
When defense attorney Marc Agnifilo asked if applesauce was among those foods, Kaplan clarified:
“Mr. Combs loves applesauce and eats it on the side or on top of a lot of things.”
“Cheeseburgers?” In response to Agnifilo’s question, Kaplan said, “Cheeseburgers being one of them.”
In addition to Combs’ obsession with ketchup, David James, the music mogul’s 2007–2009 aide, previously testified on Tuesday, May 20.
James gave the following testimony: “Ketchup was a big item that he always needed for his food, so it was just the consistency, to create a consistent environment for wherever he was,”
He stated that he always took Heinz ketchup on their flights to the United Kingdom since “the tomato sauce didn’t meet Combs’ standards.” James added that he frequently brought applesauce, describing it as one of Combs’ favorite foods.
