Reports have emerged confirming that Sean "Diddy" Combs was caught on tapes with eight celebrities and some minors.
The tapes are believed to have been in the possession of Diddy's ex, Kim Porter, and were handed to a man, Courtney Burgess, before her death.
The man has since been asked to turn over whatever records he has of Sean "Diddy" Combs in a subpoena the Department of Homeland Security issued.
New Witness Claimed Diddy's Ex Gave Him The Tapes
According to Page Six, a new witness in Diddy's federal case has disclosed that he once possessed some of Diddy's alleged sex tapes.
The witness, identified as Courtney Burgess, spoke to News Nation about the tapes after testifying before the grand jury for the rapper's case.
Burgess claims he came into possession of the tapes when Diddy's former partner, Kim Porter, reportedly handed him 11 flash drives prior to her passing in 2018. Burgess claimed he and Porter were acquaintances, and she entrusted him with the drives.
While Burgess refrained from sharing specific details about the drives' content, he did mention that they contained at least eight sex tapes involving Diddy, featuring eight celebrities and "two to three" minors.
He further claimed that the celebrities featured in the tapes were not perpetrators but were allegedly victims of Diddy.
Federal Prosecutors Asked Witness To Turn Over Any Records Of The Rapper
Outside the courtroom for Diddy's grand jury, Burgess also revealed how he came to be involved in the rapper's case.
He was issued a subpoena by the Department of Homeland Security, seemingly given to him in response to his earlier media claims of having salacious video of Diddy and other A-listers.
Apart from requesting that Burgess testify before a grand jury, the subpoena also ordered Burgess to "turn over all records, including thumb drives, hard drives, electronic storage devices, or devices containing videos and/or other files depicting Diddy," per TMZ.
It remains uncertain whether Burgess actually submitted these items, and the specifics of his testimony before the grand jury have not been fully disclosed.
Additionally, no details have been revealed by federal prosecutors on whether Burgess's appearance will spell new charges against Diddy in the near future.
Male Celebrity In Alleged Diddy Sex Tape Is 'Horrified' Over Possible Release
Previously, reports emerged that a male celebrity who appeared in one of Diddy's sex tapes is "horrified" that his identity will be revealed if the footage is released.
According to Page Six, they claimed that the individual sees the situation as a "total nightmare" that disrupted his life.
"It feels like a betrayal and a violation, and it's causing a lot of issues," said an insider about the situation, adding that "it brings up some really disturbing and bad memories" for the individual.
They continued, "He feels like he was victimized years ago and is now being victimized yet again. If this footage gets out, it will follow him for life. It will be on the internet forever."
Another insider shared that the male celebrity is aware that there is "not much he can do" to influence the situation, and he only hopes that it "all goes away" with time.
Diddy Might Face New Charges Ahead Of Sex Crime Trial
Diddy currently faces charges of racketeering, sex trafficking, and transporting individuals for prostitution.
His trial is scheduled for May 2025, though that date could shift if additional charges are filed.
This follows statements from federal prosecutors that the investigation into the rapper remains active, with new accusers and witnesses reportedly coming forward since his arrest.
Additionally, the grand jury overseeing Diddy's case has been holding meetings, suggesting that further charges could be forthcoming.
Amid the ongoing controversy surrounding Diddy's case, his lawyers continue to make remarks about his innocence and that he is eager to clear his name in court. They have also slammed several new civil suits against the rapper brought by alleged victims represented by attorney Tony Buzbee.
In the meantime, Diddy remains in custody at the Metropolitan Detention Center in New York, having been denied bail multiple times.
One Of The Rapper's Accusers Has Been Ordered By A Judge To Reveal Her Identity
Page Six reported that New York Judge Mary Kay Vyskocil ruled that an anonymous woman who sued Diddy must reveal her true identity or risk the dismissal of her lawsuit against the rapper.
Vyskocil noted that she understands that the alleged victim has "an interest in keeping her identity private given the sensitive nature of her allegations" and "the potential for public scrutiny of her personal life."
The judge, however, explained that the woman, who identified as "Jane Doe," has decided as an adult "to file a lawsuit in which she accuses a famous person of engaging in heinous conduct approximately twenty years ago and, further accuses a number of businesses of complicity in that alleged conduct."
For this reason, Vyskocil believes that Doe "has not carried her burden to show that she is entitled to" being anonymous and has until November 13 to refile her lawsuit with her real name.
