They said their cases would expose how the music legend-turned-entrepreneur used his power and money to get away with shocking crimes, often with help from a cadre of advisors and aides. This week, the stories of those in Combs’ inner circle were heard in his federal trial on racketeering and sex trafficking charges. They told of his threats of murder, coercion, kidnapping and the beatings he inflicted on his former girlfriend. Prosecutors called a series of witnesses to bolster their contention that the hip-hop mogul is more than a domestic abuser and uses his entire Bad Boy empire to coerce, threaten and abuse his victims and, most specifically, his onetime lover Cassie Ventura. One witness described himself as a Combs cleanup man who tossed out liquor bottles and narcotics after wild parties. Another witness said he once drove a heavily armed Combs for a confrontation with rap mogul Suge Knight. The most dramatic testimony came from the former global brand director for Combs’ Bad Boy Entertainment, Capricorn Clark, who described years of threats and violence by the mogul.
