Diddy

Sean Diddy's former personal assistant testified at a criminal trial Tuesday and detailed the horrible incident involving the comb and his rival Suge Knight.

According to David James, who worked for the comb from 2007 to 2009, the comb once brought three pistols into the car before the end of his term and directed James to drive to the Mel restaurant in Los Angeles, who they believed Knight was Knight.

Just before that, James drove to the restaurant with Damion Butler, a Combs security guard, to pick up food for members of the combs and entourage. Butler recognized the Cavaliers in a car parked at several places as they parked the car. According to James, Butler approached Knight and said, "It's me, D-Roc, Biggie's boy," referring to the late rapper The Notorious Big, who signed Combs' Bad Boy Records. (Knight is now serving a prison sentence for a fatal impact, running away from rival record The Record of Death. While there is no clear evidence, the Cavaliers are often speculated to be linked to the infamous large-scale murder in 1997. The murders are still not resolved.)

Knight apparently responded to Butler, "What are you doing in my city?" Butler said, "Make money, you know what it is." Then the two had a friendly handshake.

James said he and Butler then entered Meyer's restaurant to order takeaway food when James noticed four black SUVs driving into the parking lot and one handed the Cavalier to the gun. "We're going to fucking," said James Butler, who managed to get in and escape back to the Combs' house on the Hollywood Hills. When they arrived, Combs told James and Butler to take another car, a black Escalade, and instructed James to drive back to the restaurant. Once, James looked back at the comb in the back seat with three pistols on his leg.

"I have a strange sense of calmness," James said. Because they changed cars, he thought the Cavaliers might not see them coming. But he also realized that the comb had three guns in it and there were three guns in the car. "This is the first time I realize my life is in danger," James said.

About 10 minutes later, when they arrived at Mel's restaurant, Knight left. Coms told James to drive on the street, but the Cavaliers were nowhere to be found.

A few days later, James resigned as Combs' personal assistant and issued a six-month notice. James asked Combs' attorney why he had paid for the possible shooting, saying: "I don't think I'm choosing to say anything."

James spoke in detail about his two years as a personal assistant to Combs, which he said was a 20-hour job. "Sometimes I work 21 days in a row," he said, recalling a joke that is often repeated by the safety details of the comb: "Do you know the rhyme of ``tired''?
