Diddy’s Unusual Sauce Preference on Cheeseburgers Upsets Jurors in Rapper’s Intense Trial

During Sean “Diddy” Combs‘ Manhattan trial, ex-assistants of the music mogul revealed bizarre and disturbing details.

One such detail was the embattled rapper’s strange love of applesauce on cheeseburgers and other food.

Testimony revealed an incident where Diddy threw apples at a previous girlfriend and a turbulent encounter with Cassandra “Cassie” Ventura on a private plane.

Diddy’s peculiar practice of adding applesauce to his burgers was notably mentioned twice during his trial in Manhattan this week, as former assistants shared quirky insights about the Bad Boy Records creator in court.

During the testimony on Thursday, former employee George Kaplan recounted how Diddy and his team utilized a “Black AMEX card,” a moniker for the extremely exclusive American Express Centurion Card, to cover all of the requests made by the music tycoon, such as baby oil, yacht rentals, and luxurious villas.

When defense lawyer Marc Agnifilo questioned him about the applesauce, Kaplan explained, “Mr. Combs loves applesauce and eats it on the side or top of a lot of things,” Kaplan responded.

“Cheeseburgers?” Agnifilo asked. “Cheeseburgers being one of them,” Kaplan confirmed, per the New York Post.

Agnifilo then inquired whether Diddy could realistically keep track of all the card’s expenses.

Kaplan replied, “His world was the size of the Earth. He was doing business all over the world … Frankly, to think that he knew where some of these things were coming from is unrealistic.”

The unusual combination of applesauce and cheeseburgers also came up earlier in the week during Tuesday’s testimony from David James, another former assistant to Diddy.

James, who handled the rapper’s riders, was questioned about the hip-hop icon’s specific requests.

He explained that when Diddy traveled to the UK, he always brought American ketchup because the local tomato sauce didn’t meet his standards.

James also said he regularly packed applesauce, noting that Diddy loved it so much that he even used it as a topping for his burgers.

“Were you aware he put applesauce on his cheeseburgers?” Agnifilo asked. “I was not aware, but I knew he liked applesauce,” James replied.

According to reports, the jurors visibly reacted with discomfort when the unusual food combo was mentioned again, with one juror even making a gagging motion.

The amusing talk about applesauce offered a brief break from the more disturbing testimonies about Diddy’s alleged violent behavior toward his girlfriends.

During his testimony, Kaplan recounted a 2015 incident at Diddy’s Miami mansion when the rapper, who later took the name “Love,” hurled apples at a then-girlfriend named Gina during a heated argument.

Kaplan described the throw as “hard.” “He was very angry,” he testified, noting that Gina “was trying to shield herself with her arms and trying to move away from him.”

He added that the apples had been part of the mansion’s entryway decor, though he wasn’t sure if they were real or fake.

Kaplan described chaotic scenes during a 2015 altercation between Diddy and his then-girlfriend Cassie aboard the mogul’s private jet.

He described how Diddy and Cassie were separated by a partition on the private jet when he suddenly heard the sound of glass breaking.

“I looked over my right shoulder. I saw Mr. Combs standing over Cassie,” Kaplan recalled.

He said he witnessed Cassie lying on her back, with her legs raised to keep her distance from Diddy. At the time, he said the rapper was holding a whiskey glass as the “tremendous commotion” unfolded, and Cassie was yelling, “Isn’t anyone seeing this?!”

Despite the commotion, Kaplan said no one stepped in to help, not even Diddy’s security team.
