P DIDDY'S FORMER ASSISTANT GEORGE KAPLAN TOOK TO THE STAND ON WEDNESDAY AS PART OF THE DISGRACED MUSIC MOGULS ONGOING TRIAL IN NEW YORK WHERE HE FACES SEVERAL CHARGES DANIEL BIRD


Assistant Celebrity and Entertainment Editor 08:59, 22 May 2025 P Diddy's former assistant made several claims as he took to the stand on Wednesday. Prior to taking to the stand, George


Kaplan, who worked as Diddy's executive assistant had invoked his Fifth Amendement right to not testify citing potential self incrimination. However, Judge Arun Subramanian indicated


that he would sign an immunity order which would require Kaplan to take the stand. Disgraced music mogul Sean Combs, known as Diddy, Puff Daddy and various other aliases, is currently on


trial for a number of serious charges, including racketeering conspiracy, sex ­trafficking by force, fraud or coercion and transportation to engage in prostitution. He was arrested in


September and strongly denies all allegations made against him. He has been in prison since his arrest, and a number of bail requests have been rejected. As the trial entered the second


week, the likes of Cassie Ventura, Diddy's former assistant David James, Homeland Security officers and federal agents have all testified. But on Wednesday, Kaplan, who started working


for the musician in 2013 as an assistant to the Chief Operating Officer of Combs Enterprises testified. Here's everything that he said while on the stand. WORKING CONDITIONS Article


continues below While testifying, Kaplan claimed that he worked around 80 to 100 hours per week. He testified that his day would typically start around 9:30am and would make sure the chef


and housekeeping staff were ready. Kaplan said he would make sure Combs' bathroom was set up. The earliest he could ever remember finishing a day was around 5 or 6 p.m., and the latest


he could ever remember was around 7 a.m. He went on to tell the court that he would communicate with Diddy on a daily basis. These conversations were about things Diddy needed and included


things such as "clothing or potentially food from somewhere, or drugs or liquor, or an iPad or a speaker." Kaplan travelled with Combs and would set up his hotel rooms with a bag


that included clothes, a speaker, candles, liquor, baby oil, and lubricant. The assistant said he came to understand his role was to protect Combs' image as he would tidy up the rooms


once he left. He said there would be sports drink bottles, liquor bottles and baby oil strewn around the hotel room after Combs left. Kaplan also testified that he picked up drugs for Combs


with cash he gave him. He said it happened once in Miami and once in Los Angeles. THREATS Diddy allegedly threatened Kaplan over his job on a regular basis. He told the court that the


musician wanted to be surrounded by the best and "those around him at the time were not performing at that level." In his first week on the job, Kaplan was asked to find one-gallon


BPA-free water bottles at Whole Foods. However, the store didn't have these in stock, so he bought two half-gallon bottles. An angry Combs fumed that Kaplan hadn't purchased what


he had asked for. "He was very close to my face," Kaplan told the court. SALARY While on the stand, George told the court he was paid $125,000 for his job, which is £93,120 in


sterling. While working for Diddy, Kaplan was tasked with picking up drugs on behalf of the musician. Article continues below He told the court that on two occasions, he was asked to pick up


drugs, once in Miami and once in Los Angeles. Combs allegedly gave Kaplan cash and a phone number to call. He said he once picked up MDMA, and on another occasion, he had no idea what the


substance was. _LIKE THIS STORY? FOR MORE OF THE LATEST SHOWBIZ NEWS AND GOSSIP, FOLLOW MIRROR CELEBS ON_ _TIKTOK__,_ _SNAPCHAT__,_ _INSTAGRAM__,_ _TWITTER__,_ _FACEBOOK__,_ _YOUTUBE_ _AND_
