Whitney Houston, Mike Myers, and More: Celebrity Name-Drops Heat Up Diddy’s Sex Trafficking Trial
The courtroom drama surrounding Sean “Diddy” Combs’ high-profile sex trafficking and racketeering trial is drawing intense public attention — not just for the allegations themselves but for the surprising A-list celebrity names popping up in testimony.
As the trial entered its third week, witnesses mentioned stars like Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey, Mike Myers, and more. Here’s a breakdown of the biggest celebrity moments from the latest courtroom sessions.
Whitney Houston and Mariah Carey Set the Bar
Capricorn Clark, Diddy’s former executive assistant, offered some memorable commentary while discussing singer Cassie Ventura’s talents. When asked how Cassie compared to other artists, Clark drew a clear line:
“Talented to me is Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey. Very talented is that level of performer, entertainer. Cassie was more of a studio artist.”
Clark explained that being a “studio artist” means Cassie was more comfortable in the recording booth — relying on engineering and production — rather than shining on stage as a live performer like Houston or Carey.
Mike Myers’ Unexpected Connection
Another striking name came up from one of the alleged victims, known in court as “Mia.” She testified that before working for Diddy, she was the personal assistant to actor Mike Myers, famous for his iconic Austin Powers films.
The prosecution asked about her role, and Mia confirmed:
“I was his personal assistant.”
Interestingly, Myers’ name had also been mentioned earlier during jury questioning — possibly because of a joke about Diddy in the Austin Powers movies.
From Fashion to Harvey Weinstein’s Ex: Georgina Chapman
Mia also revealed she once worked for fashion designer Georgina Chapman, known for co-founding the luxury brand Marchesa. When asked about Chapman’s clients, Mia described them as “red-carpet celebrity dressing,” underscoring the glamorous circles she had been part of.
Chapman’s background has its own dark ties: she was married to Harvey Weinstein, who is currently facing a rape retrial in New York. The couple divorced in 2017 after Weinstein was accused of widespread sexual misconduct.
Nas, Kelis, and a Walk Through Central Park
In a tense moment during testimony, Clark recounted a threatening encounter with Diddy in Central Park — but also bumped into hip-hop power couple Nas and Kelis.
She said:
“We walked from the east side of the park to the west side, and we ran into Nas and Kelis in the middle of the park.”
French Montana and Other Rap Stars Named by Diddy’s Stylist
Deonte Nash, Diddy’s former celebrity stylist, named rapper French Montana as one of the artists signed to Bad Boy Records during his time there.
When asked if the French Montana was the hip-hop star, Nash confirmed:
“Yes. I mean, and Puff. That’s all I can really remember right now.”
Nash also spoke about working on Cassie’s 2013 mixtape RockaByeBaby, revealing that notable rappers like Rick Ross, Wiz Khalifa, and Meek Mill featured on the project. Despite the star-studded lineup, no one was paid for their contributions, he testified.
Threats and Tensions: The Mixtape Drama
Nash also relayed a chilling warning Diddy allegedly gave Cassie during the mixtape’s production:
“He told her that one time if she keeps having a smart-ass mouth, her little mixtape won’t be coming out.”
This testimony painted a vivid picture of the power dynamics and pressure within Diddy’s circle — key elements under scrutiny as the trial continues.
As Sean “Diddy” Combs’ trial unfolds, these celebrity mentions provide a fascinating glimpse behind the scenes of the entertainment world — but the serious allegations at the heart of the case remain front and center. We’ll keep following the testimony as more names and revelations come to light.
