Shocking images of Diddy’s hotel room after his arrest made public: From baby oil to wads of cash
NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: Sean “Diddy” Combs’ trial just got a whole lot messier. Prosecutors have officially entered dozens of photos into evidence from the September raid of Diddy’s New York City hotel suite.
The snapshots, taken by federal agents at the Park Hyatt Hotel in Manhattan, show a variety of items. There were bottles of baby oil and lubricant stashed both in the bathroom and packed into plastic bags.
One pic shows a fanny pack casually holding $9,000 in cash. There were several drugs too, Us Weekly reported.
One of the more alarming finds was two small Ziploc bags with a mysterious powdery pink substance.
According to TMZ, law enforcement found the bags “in an orange prescription bottle … and inside the baggies were pink solid material.” Tests later confirmed that “one bag tested positive for ketamine and the other tested positive for MDMA and ketamine.”
Among the pharmaceuticals spotted was a bottle of Clonazepam — except it wasn’t in Diddy’s name. It was prescribed to a “Frank Blank,” an alias that Diddy had used in the past, according to his ex Cassie (real name Cassandra Ventura).
Cassie Ventura takes the stand during Diddy trial
Cassie, 38, spent three full days testifying last week. She said her relationship with Diddy—which spanned on and off from 2007 to 2018—was riddled with violence and manipulation.
She claimed Diddy used to videotape her during encounters to “blackmail” her, and described his notorious “freak offs” that she said she endured while heavily intoxicated.
Cassie testified that to cope, she took a cocktail of drugs, including weed, mushrooms, GHB, ketamine, and ecstasy, just to stay “disconnected” from what was happening. One particularly harrowing story involved her experience with two male escorts, who she said were hired off Craigslist.
During cross-examination, defense attorney Anna Estevao pressed Cassie on her past messages to Diddy, asking about texts where she said she loved him and claimed to enjoy the “freak offs.”
When asked about one where she said she liked the parties, Cassie explained, “I would say that loving [freak offs] were just words at that point.”
A timeline of Diddy's trouble
Diddy, 55, was arrested in Manhattan on September 16 after being indicted by a grand jury as part of a sweeping federal investigation. The music mogul is currently facing charges of trafficking, racketeering conspiracy, and transportation to engage in prostitution — all of which he has denied, USA Today reported.
It all began in November 2023, when Cassie filed a lawsuit alleging years of abuse at Diddy’s hands. Though he denied the allegations, the two settled out of court just one day later.
In May last year, CNN dropped a bombshell surveillance footage from 2016 showing Diddy physically assaulting Cassie in a hotel hallway — kicking and grabbing her.
Diddy subsequently took to his Instagram Stories with an apology video. “My behavior on that video is inexcusable. I take full responsibility for my actions in that video. I was disgusted then when I did it. I’m disgusted now. … I’m not asking for forgiveness. I’m truly sorry," he said.

Feds drop photographic evidence against Diddy
On Friday, May 16, the prosecution brought in Department of Homeland Security Special Agent Yasin Binda to testify. Binda, who participated in the hotel raid, painted a disturbing picture of what they walked into that September day.
Agents discovered “five bottles of baby oil in the bathroom” and “lubricant stored in the bathtub,” plus “two bottles of lubricant in the nightstand.”
They also seized a Louis Vuitton bag containing ketamine, MDMA, and a bottle of medication addressed to none other than “Frank Black” — a name that had already come up in Cassie’s testimony.
