George Kaplan, former executive assistant to Sean "Diddy" Combs, testified in the federal criminal trial that his job included more than just bookings and logistics. According to his testimony, he was responsible for preparing hotel rooms with specific items like lubricant, baby oil, and candles, which the artist used during his stays.
During his testimony, Kaplan stated that he booked the rooms under the name "Frank Black", an alias inspired by the nickname of The Notorious B.I.G., Frank White. Once at the location, he unpacked a bag containing candles, Astroglide lubricant, and Johnson baby oil, items he meticulously placed in the room.

He also recounted that, after Diddy's visits, he was the one who cleaned everything. He collected empty bottles, alcohol, Gatorade, and on one occasion, found "crystallized brown powder" in the bathroom sink. He said he took on this task instead of the cleaning staff to prevent any leaks of compromising images.
Kaplan stated that Diddy requested food, clothes, and drugs like Advil, ketamine, and MDMA. The rapper gave him cash along with a contact number to acquire the substances, and Kaplan returned to deliver them personally.
An intense routine under constant pressure
The former assistant described a grueling work pace, working between 80 and 100 hours a week for an initial salary of $125,000 a year. He claimed that Diddy often threatened his job stability, repeatedly saying he only wanted "the best" around him.
The court adjourned the session after the prosecution's questioning of Kaplan. The witness is scheduled to return to the stand on Thursday morning when the hearings resume in New York.
